I'm a cast member here at magic kingdom, one cool secret not many know is that the second floor of all the main Street buildings are offices for Disney managers
The best time to go on Peoplemover is when Space Mountain is down. When the ride is down, they turn on the lights.. and since Peoplemover rides through space mountain, you get a really cool inside look of what Space Mountain looks like with the lights on!
Each of the lanterns in the Liberty Square oak tree were made in 1 of the original 13 colonies (now states) and if they need to be repaired, they need to be sent back to the state where they were made.
The Kiss Goodnight caught me off guard one late night while it was raining and when “When You Wish Upon A Star” played in the rain it was the most emotional event I ever experienced at Disney. Very moving.
When I was like 5, I pulled the sword out of the stone. I got a special medal, a picture, and a special sword to keep, not sure they still do all that now, more then 20 years later, but it was a very memorable moment that I can still remember the feeling of surprise (when I was chosen), happiness (when I pulled the sword from the stone), and joy (when I received my special prizes for doing it)
In the line for Seven Dwarfs Mine train, if you get all the barrels spinning quickly, and at same time, Snow White will appear on the ceiling in the middle.
@@legohead23432 yeah, I feel I need to educate those around in that area as to what happens when we get them all spinning. I love hearing the cheering amongst them when we do :)
At Cinderella’s Royal Table, when you meet Cinderella, if you ask her about Jacques and Gus, she’ll point out where they’re hanging out up in the rafters. It was a fun little moment.
When we went to pecos Bill on our vacation, a cast member asked my kids if they wanted to wake up tinkerbell? They escorted them to a hidden cupboard and had the kids knock on it and tinker bell made noise and it lit up! Then they gave them green slushies with a tinkerbell light!! It was the highlight of my kids trip!!
@@theogalazo9788 you know what! You are just sad. I do too, it is just a cute thing that makes MOST people emotional. No need to feel ashamed about that!
Another "benefit" of the brown river is that it leads to restrooms on either end. Imagine the parent with a child that needs a bathroom and can't find one. The Disney cast members in that area could try to explain where the bathrooms are, or simply tell the parent to follow the brown river in either direction, and it ends at a bathroom (Rapunzel's tower on the North end, and the Frontierland / Adventureland pass-through bathrooms on the South end).
In the 1970s, the *Barber Shop* was in a 'side alley' of Main Street that was filled in with a merchandise shopping area, not on the *Square* as it is now. 1:40
If they are able to do this, then why not make flags that retract on their own rather than flags with one less star just so they don't have to take them down at night? Seems kinda disrespectful to the flag.
@@stephanielong5719 You know how Disney is with appearances. How would it look to see a classic 50s Main Street with “futuristic” auto flags? Besides, back when Disney was built, they probably didn’t have the tech to do any of that anyhow.
@@esketit946 around here, a barbershop charges anywhere from $15-$30. You could go to a chain like best cuts for a bit less. I like to support small business and my barber is pretty cool
I love the little alleyway on Main Street, it’s where my family and I go to when we get our morning Starbucks. One thing I love about the haunted mansion store (Momentum Mori) is that the eyes on the building follows you.
Please never stop using the music tracks you guys have been using the last couple of years! I now associate those with Disney and makes me happy every time I hear them!
Yep Where I live in Florida haircuts for kids and adults are like $20 or more... (at those cheap places) I just got a haircut last week I should have waited because I’m about to go to disney in a few weeks.
We did the first hair cuts for my daughter at age 4 and my son at 2. My sons’s we lucked out because it was world photography day or something and the magic kingdom had double the amount of photographers. So I have professional done first hair cut shots of my baby. :)
My favorite as a kid was Push the Trash Can in Tomorrowland. I remember seeing it on a windy day and thinking "Ohhh no the trash can is blowing away" but then he said something like "excuse me" and I was like "wait... the trash cans actually talk!" I know it's a piece of retired magic that will likely never be seen again and it makes a lot of people sad... but it was just so cool while it lasted that I can't be sad about that.
Great video! Thanks for mentioning Jim at Casey’s Corner. The first thing that we do on a trip to WDW is go to the Magic Kingdom and go down Main Street and see if Jim is playing. I think he has been with Disney for over 35 years at this point. My father would always listen and request Maple Leaf Rag, a tradition that I have continued with my boys. Jim is a delight! He represents the essence of Main Street USA! Jim, you are the best!
There are no restrooms in Librty. Since there was no indoor plumbing at the time, there weren't any indoor bathrooms. The only bathroom is in Liberty Tree Tavern and it is Actually in a corner of the restaurant that is in another land. Adventure Land I Think.
Alvin Childress I didn’t even think about that but yeah you’re right. The bathrooms were at the top of a staircase and were small. I’ll check them out at the end of December again. Lol
If you're pin trading and a cast member has a 'hidden' pin, you can ask if they'll do trivia to reveal the pin. This is how we found out that the robins in the CoP are the ones that were used when making the original Mary Poppins movie! (or at least, that's what she told us) Very cool!
When I was little this really sweet lady told me where she saw one of the Tom sawyer paintbrushes and I got a fast pass from a cast member. I’m so sad they don’t do that anymore
I only knew 6 of these lol. I was super sad when great movie ride closed and I actually cried in Disney because of it 😭 it was always super special and when they took it down I felt like a piece of my family went with it.
I work at Casey's Corner, and In the morning when we open (usually about 30 minutes after park opening) we have a guest throw the "first pitch" as all the Cast Members sing "Take me Out to the Ball Game!" We usually give them a baseball brownie as well! Such a fun little tradition. We also sometimes join Jim during the day to sing, but that is of course if we aren't busy serving guests! Loved watching, I wrote down a bunch of these to share with my mom when she comes to visit!
MK was the last place I remember being truly happy, almost 20 years ago. If only I could work there, I would sweep the floors like a madman if I had to.
I hope that their do an video on all the popcorn flavours and candy floss that you can get in Disney world if possible. I was also wondering that the snack credit symbol looks like
Thanks for a great video! The Internet is filled with articles about "Secrets You Didn't Know About Walt Disney World" except I know all the "secrets." This had several I've never heard before. Wow!
One of my favorite things about the haunted mansion is the chess pieces that are included on the rooftops. The designers/modelers would play chess and after hours people would take the chess pieces and place them on the model as a prank. So they incorporated it into the actual build.
Also on the carousel of progress in the final scene on the mantle of the fireplace there is a hidden Mickey as a nutcracker. And don’t forget at haunted mansion you can ask for your death certificate at the end of the ride.
When I was 7, my family and I went to Disney World (back when Hollywood Studios was called MGM Studios), either my aunt or mom said they were gonna throw me into the dungeon with the skeletons and I started crying lol!!
These videos cheer me up no end , although it's been some years since my last Disney holiday . The world ( especially the UK ) is now more depressing than ever with the news & everything so these videos provide so much light relief & take me back to the better days from when I used to go to Disneyland / Universal & Island of Adventure , Animal Kingdom , MGM & Seaworld .
Did you know the hat shop in main street has magic mirrors? It's true. As a cast member, I saw Stevie Wonder trying on hats and looking at himself in the mirror! It must be magic!
My best friend and I just got back from Walt Disney World! We literally stumbled upon the Cinderella fountain on our way out of the park at night. It’s very pretty & I’m glad we found it!
Ok one thing - if you’re an avid pin trader, or just enjoy it, ALWAYS ask if the gift shop you’re in has a pin board! Sometimes they keep them behind counters, and you could find some hidden gems! I’ve gotten several Disneyland Paris/Shanghai Disney pins from them!
Another fun fact about the Cinderella fountain: there are drinking fountains surrounding it, so if you go to get a drink of water from them, you are in essence "bowing" before Cinderella
I once met a Disney Imagineer who told me a bunch of cool secrets and stories. He added a special Easter egg in the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World. I don’t know exactly when during the ride it is visible, but somewhere you see cat marks on either the ceiling or the wall.
Thank you for all these secrets! I love watching videos like these cause I always learn something new even if I used to be a cast member at Disney World!
I miss the magic cards you could get for free just before starting down Main Street. (Mary Poppins escorted me over to get mine.) You then played a game at the store windows that magically revealed the game. Just one of the many freebies no longer available and missed. Thank you for a fun, informative video!
Don’t know if this is still the case at Disneyland because it’s probably been at least 10 years, but for their flag retreat ceremony, a cast member would pick a responsible looking child or siblings. My brother and I got to do it and got a pin for it. We had to rehearse and learn how to do it properly, but that’s one of my most special Disney memories and I treasure that pin dearly.
I saw tiana and Snow White outside of Hollywood studios with no wait at all! It was really cool, because these characters usually have a crazy long wait time.
One of my very favorite memories was way back in 2006, when I was a Disney CP student, I decided to go to Magic Kingdom for an afternoon by myself and out of the blue, in Frontierland, there was an impromptu tiny parade with Woody, Jessie, Bullseye and some cast members just dancing down the street! It made me laugh because it was something I didn't know was going to happen or even existed! So fun. I'm glad they still do that. ETA: I told my roommates about it and no one else ever saw it happen, I was beginning to wonder what happened, lol!
Very little known fact is that Liberty Square has many features from the Disney film Johnny Tremaine. Highly recommend the book and the movie. Walt's patriotism comes out in many of the rides and areas he helped create.
Ah! The hoedown secret makes sense now! On our very first trip we accidently caught it and got some great pics of my sister dancing, but I could never find it on the schedule on our later trips so I thought it was discontinued. It was so much fun, and such a good time for a break and a turkey leg, that I'm gonna make a note to ask about it next time I'm up.
SCP 999 we were already half way through then it stopped they told us to stay seated and as soon as the door open my little brother bolted out without looking back🤣
THANK YOU, my grandmother has always wanted to go to WDW with her grandchildren, but due to weird circumstances i was the only one able to go and i had to plan it all i definitely could not have done it without this channel, so thank you.
The Harmony Barber Shop's walk-in sheet fill up FAST! So make sure you get there ASAP in the morning unless the park is pretty empty. My advice though (especially after talking to the cast members there), is to call in advance; even the night before New Year's Eve I was still able to get an appointment on the phone for the holiday.
My family and I went to Disney in July and we probably won’t be going back for a while, but I still watch every video that gets published. I guess it’s better to be over-informed for when I eventually make my way back there.
I love The Kiss Goodnight. I took video last time I was there with my son and sister. I watch it every now and then. Can't wait to go back in a few months.

The Protean Geek ????
Yes it was actually from and old turnstile original, they had cut out. Then they later added a ring for guest who loved the story
It was the old remnants of a turnstile. They later removed it. But got major back lash and put in a new one in a diff location.

He sang happy birthday to my son!
how did I never notice those pawprints? Such an adorable detail!!
Stroller parking covers it up, have to be there first thing or look closely through the strollers!
There is a special prop in splash mountain to commerate a cast member who opened the ride on day one and still works the ride til this very day.
That’s so sweeettt
I heard that music in the corner off main street! I actually thought it was cast members rehearsing!

You know that is classified information, now that you know, guess what happens to you?
Rooftop Voter uhhhh I don’t know
You know normally I'd think getting a haircut at disney is silly, but that first baby haircut thing is preeeeeetty cute.
When I was little this really sweet lady told me where she saw one of the Tom sawyer paintbrushes and I got a fast pass from a cast member. I’m so sad they don’t do that anymore
At the fountain at Cinderella castle the water fountain is lower then normal so you have to bow to the princess
it's also meant to be at a child's height, so when they look up they see her with her crown.
They could always make the paint brushes digital. The first to scan a picture on the app gets an extra fast pass.
Or just get more paint brushes, how much do hey cost seriously
Yeah, but QR code’s don’t really fit in Tom Sawyer’s time frame and we know how Disney is with themes and appearances
A 19 minuet long video with no midrolls, and on a wholesome topic? Respect
I only knew 6 of these lol. I was super sad when great movie ride closed and I actually cried in Disney because of it 😭 it was always super special and when they took it down I felt like a piece of my family went with it.
Specifically, the money in the wells goes to make a wish foundation, which is a really great fundraiser!

Did the characters bow?
I wish Walt’s vision of Epcot was a reality I would LOVE to live there 😂
Another bygone secret from the past was asking a cast member for a death certificate at the Haunted Mansion
Robert Marra I found out recently when I asked that they only do it at Disneyland. I was disappointed needless to say. ☹️
Ask the cast members there to sign your autograph book! They wrote like five sentences of dreary, horror-filled nonsense. Made my brother's day!
I forgot about that!

How do you have this much Disney content lol. I love it
There's actually a fifth hidden Mickey in the final Carousel of Progress scene. Take a look at the nutcrackers on the mantel. 😘

One of my very favorite memories was way back in 2006, when I was a Disney CP student, I decided to go to Magic Kingdom for an afternoon by myself and out of the blue, in Frontierland, there was an impromptu tiny parade with Woody, Jessie, Bullseye and some cast members just dancing down the street! It made me laugh because it was something I didn't know was going to happen or even existed! So fun. I'm glad they still do that.
ETA: I told my roommates about it and no one else ever saw it happen, I was beginning to wonder what happened, lol!
Very little known fact is that Liberty Square has many features from the Disney film Johnny Tremaine. Highly recommend the book and the movie. Walt's patriotism comes out in many of the rides and areas he helped create.
In carousel of progress there is a little mannequin, wooden figure that changes positions every few days
My first and only time I've been to Disney world Jim (the pianist) gave me a high five and for some reason it was my favorite memory
You can get pixie dusted at the barber shop for free also!! It’s a lot of glitter but fun to do!! My daughter and I get it done every now and then
That is so cute! Adding that to my list of Disney to do's 🤗
Ah! The hoedown secret makes sense now! On our very first trip we accidently caught it and got some great pics of my sister dancing, but I could never find it on the schedule on our later trips so I thought it was discontinued. It was so much fun, and such a good time for a break and a turkey leg, that I'm gonna make a note to ask about it next time I'm up.
Me and my family got stuck on the carousel of progress for like 20 minutes before someone busted the door open😂
Colly boi I got stuck on test track
Carousel of progress is a 20 minute show, you could’ve gone through the whole thing if you weren’t stuck!!
SCP 999 we were already half way through then it stopped they told us to stay seated and as soon as the door open my little brother bolted out without looking back🤣
Colly boi Lol!! Guess he was sick of waiting.
We were stuck in the first scene. Saw it five times! Finally they came and let us out.
THANK YOU, my grandmother has always wanted to go to WDW with her grandchildren, but due to weird circumstances i was the only one able to go and i had to plan it all i definitely could not have done it without this channel, so thank you.
The video is great but I wish it didn't jump around the Kingdom but go through it land by land. Its hard to remember all this when it bounces around.
Bethoc Fontenot yes
ang ganda
The Harmony Barber Shop's walk-in sheet fill up FAST! So make sure you get there ASAP in the morning unless the park is pretty empty. My advice though (especially after talking to the cast members there), is to call in advance; even the night before New Year's Eve I was still able to get an appointment on the phone for the holiday.
Omg was just at Epcot 2 weeks ago and saw Aladdin and jasmine in Morocco together
My family and I went to Disney in July and we probably won’t be going back for a while, but I still watch every video that gets published. I guess it’s better to be over-informed for when I eventually make my way back there.
Karen Soto can’t have too much Disney!! Check out our new magic kingdom video, we love that place!
RIP Great Movie Ride. You will be missed.😭
Love all of your videos! Would love to see you do a video specifically for couples / honeymooners!
Another great DFB guide video! Thanks!!
I burst into tears at the Lady & Tramp pawprints. OMG My fav Disney movie of all time.
I got to wake up tink when I was little. Sad that is gone.
AJ, I love your videos!! The only negative thing I could say about them is that they make me soooo homesick for Disney World!😊
Love the cinderellla crown one!
I love The Kiss Goodnight. I took video last time I was there with my son and sister. I watch it every now and then. Can't wait to go back in a few months.
AWESOME video AJ !!
Been to Disney World numerous times, still learned a lot from this video. Thank you.
