Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret!

Wow, so many great secrets. I'm tempted to make a web site to catalog all stuff like this (I know there are some already, but not easy to navigate). Hehe, maybe some day

Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret!

I've never looked up at the right time, but when you're in the stretch rooms of the haunted mansion and everything goes dark and there is lightning you are supposed to see a hanging corpse up in the centet of the dome/ceiling.

What/who is Devine, and where is the marker? This a great topic. Love the replies!

Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret!

After you exit Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, there is a Tinkerbell carved into the rocks (it's near the cast member exit door).

While waiting in line at Buzz Lightyear, you'll find a hidden mickey in one of the murals.

At Aerosmith, you can find two hidden mickeys on the floor.

LOL! This one is so much fun! One trip, there was a walking palm tree. DS#2 was wearing a shirt with palm trees on it. The tree came over to him and said, "Oh palm trees...they need water" and proceeded to spray water at him. Scared him to death! It was great! And he remembers that to this day!

Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret!

Whatta great topic! Some of these things I have never seen -- so I will have to keep my eyes open next time...

I love Wes Palm (the prankster palm tree at AK!). He, too, got my DH! Lady DeVine is also amazing. We saw her this past November at AK. Many people pass right by -- and never even notice her. She is a performance artist who is made to look like a large "vine." She walks on stilts and blends into the scenery around her. She is such a sight.

Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret!

This IS a great topic

I will have to look for these things on our upcoming trip.

There is a path behind Space Mountain that will take you to Toon Town - DH and I used it and we were the only ones on it - nice little path with benches, etc.

Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret!

As you exit Test Track, if you see a couple of crash dummies slumped over against the wall, steer your dear family members toward them. They are alive and will boo your parents to record high jump heights, making for a warm family Kodak moment.

I also love the pressed penny machines found in so many nooks in shops and at the ends of rides.

There is a gorgeous pathway to the castle from the rose garden overlooking Tomorrowland. It has a nook with fountain and a nice bench. This is an ideal place to rest and enjoy a castle show.

At the Studio Catering Company at the Backstage end of Mickey avenue are some crate to open for fun sound effect surprises.

Loved this thread! I got many new secrets to look for when I leave next week. Thanks to all of you!

Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret!

If you have the time, a favorite of ours is the Stave Church in Epcot-Norway. It's not really a secret, just an overlooked building that most rush by on the way to Maelstrom. Allow 10-15 minutes to read the displays and absorb the atmosphere.

Re: Your BEST WDW theme park secret!

Then there's always what happens to you when you put your elbows on the table at 50's Prime Time Cafe!

If you want to lose your hat, just wear a goofy ears cap to the buffet breakfast at Chef Mickey's!

The fiber optic lights at Epcot are one of my favorites!

Mu husband has been chosen twice for the Indiana Jones stunt show because we made the most noise!

What fun!
