| Your BEST WDW theme park secret! What is your best WDW theme park secret?
For example, Devine in AK, the marker in EPCOT that represents the center of WDW or the Lady and Tramp paw prints in front of Tony's.
Any others? I am going to WDW in a couple of weeks and would love to show my parents these secrets I have and point them out. 04/25/07 Edited to Add: With a lot of new people coming to the boards ( Welcome! ) I'd like to mention some tips for this thread: * This thread is a Sticky Thread, meaning it will always be at the top of the Touring the World forum unless a Guide removes the push pin, which won't happen due to this thread's popularity over the last four years. (WOW!) There is no need to "bump" this thread up to keep it on the main page...for your convinience, it will always be here! * Per our board guidelines, please try to keep the "Me too's" and "What great tips" to a minimum so the tips can easily be spotted by someone scrolling thru to jot them into their PassPorter or notebook. * Please remember to stay within the topic of this thread, which is Best Theme Park Secrets. Threads of any other nature may be deleted without notice. * If you have tried one of these older tips and it's no longer a tip (ex, the ride is permanently closed, trees have been planted, etc) please PM a Guide for this forum and we will edit the tip. Thank you all for making the PassPorter Boards a great place to be! Happy Touring! Jennifer2003 Co-Guide, Touring the World

| Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret! How about the umbrella attached to the lamp post that drips 'rain' when you hang on it at MGM?
Or the cooler that has a surprise for you when you open it at the Outpost at EPCOT? * * ETA 04/11/08 - The cooler may or may not work. * *

| I thought I knew a lot about WDW but this is a new one. Where is it? (Epcot is a little big.  )
Thanks.

| Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret! What about the car in the New York Street backlot area at MGM that has a lift in that allows people too pick it up? Great photo op. |

| Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret! I just thought of another Haunted Mansion secret. Make sure to watch Madame Leota's tombstone very carefully. I believe it's the last one on the left side before you enter the building. It will scare the bejeebers out of you!

| Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret! My favorite tips involve getting picked for stuff:
1. To get picked for Indiana Jones Stunt Show, wear a solid red shirt (while jumping up and down shouting). The CM's I've seen tend to lean toward the people to whom he can easily say, "the guy/lady in the _____ shirt."
2. To get picked for the Backlot Tour, stand in the rightmost lane and ask the CM at try to be about 3/4 of the way back down the alley (this takes a bit of luck too).

| Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret! What about the store in the base of the castle where Tinkerbell is flying. I think it is called Tinkerbell Treasures or something like that.
There is also a talking trashcan in Epcot. He is stationary...in one of the resturants. Electric Umbrella I think. |
