Secrets about Disneyland?

• What are some interesting secrets about the Disneyland theme park. I know about the hidden mickeys, are there any other things? thanks :)

• Answer:

  Among the first guests at Disneyland in 1955 was George Lucas (then 11) and his family. Disneyland welcomes up to 65,000 Guests in a single day and welcomes between 10-12 million Guests over the course of a year. Main Street is supposed to be set in 1910, Tomorrowland is set for 1986. These years were picked because they were the years of Hailey's Comet. I was watching a Disneyland 50th Anniversary Special movie (on Main Street) with Steve Martin as the narrator. This was something I didn't know, and it was interesting to learn. The day that Disneyland opened, the asphalt was not quite dry, and ladies heels sunk into it. The first ticket for Disneyland was sold to Walt's brother, Roy, for $1 (which Disneyland-goers will note has slightly increased in the last forty years!) I have no proof, but I've heard that Pirates has the most security cameras in the park, and the best hidden. [About those cameras in Pirates... I was there for a Grad Night party for my high school, it went all night, and I guess they turned up security to keep us hooligan seniors in line. Anyway, I was being a hooligan senior in POTC cause I reached out, pushed against the wall to make the boat bump against the other side (why? i don't know..) and the booming voice of reason came over the PA and said, "DON'T PUSH THE WALLS. KEEP YOUR HANDS IN THE BOAT!" They were watching me. Creepy.] All of the water for Sleeping Beauty's castle, the Rivers of America, and the Jungle Cruise are all connected and filtered near the Jungle Cruise located behind one of the buildings on Main Street. There's a basketball court in the Matterhorn. It's a small space at the top of the structure where cast members can rest. Some say there's a ping-pong table too. The Haunted Mansion is actually located outside of Disneyland. When you walk through the portrait hall on the way to the "stretching" room, you're really walking under Disney's railroad tracks toward a soundstage-like building outside of the park. The stretching room is really an elevator that takes you underground into this soundstage. Splash Mountain has earned the nickname "Flash Mountain" because of women exposing themselves to the cameras in the ride. A camera snaps a photo of each log as it goes over the steepest waterfall, and some women think it's funny to whip up their tops while they say "Cheese". Cheesy!
