    I thought that this would be an interesting topic.

    Basically, I think that Disneyland in Orlando, Florida is big enough and has enough "districts"/sections to be it's own town/city. I think it'd be kinda cool if Disney could have it's own city/town thing. Does anyone have any input on this?

    Also, I've found an interesting fact about Disneyland in Orlando. Here they are.

    - There's a rather large mushroom as you wait for the Alice in Wonderland ride. It is actually an original Disneyland ticket booth.

    Does anyone have any others?

    = The average suburban town in New Jersey is smaller and less populated than Disneyland.
    = When building the futuristic section of Disneyland, Disney contacted many manufacturers of technology for ideas. This is why if you are in that section and you look at the ground, occasionally there will be a pattern resembling a Pokéball.

    I've got some more facts.

    -26 million hand towels are used in Disney's restrooms on average each year.

    -1000 brooms are used each year by Disney employees.

    -Disneyland employs five people who work full time theming trash cans.

    -When an audioanimatronic figure dies at Disneyland, it is given an audioanimatronic funeral.

    -Anyone who dies at Disneyland receives a free lifetime pass.

    -Disneyland fireworks are all hand made by Amish children.

    -Cast members who hear parents telling their children that Disneyland characters are just people in suits are required to immediately phone the child-abuse hotline.

    -Everything in Tomorrowland is edible.

    -If you look carefully during the opening sequence of Star Tours, you can catch a glimpse of Walt Disney frozen in carbonite.

    -In an emergency, Monorail seats double as flotation devices.

    -J. Edgar Hoover once auditioned for a part as a Disneyland walk-around character (Snow White).

    -Space Mountain isn't really in outer space -- it's in a building.

    All right, that last one is kind of obvious.

    This is untrue. The biuggest myth about Walt Disney is that he was cryogenicaly frozen at death. Upon death I believe that he was creamated. But definately NOT frozen

    Both my brother & sister worked at Disney World when I lived in Orlando as a teen. I ... um... visited the park with them on a couple of occasions, and got to see some behind-the-scenes things. I only ever saw one person working on a trash can, but I can easily see them having several, especially since the trash bins are damaged all the time and they have to do repairs too.

    1. The generally accepted belief that Disney World's Imagineers have been secretly placing "Hidden Mickeys" throughout the park since it's opening, only to have the first discovered in 1989 - is completely false. In 1989, an employee claimed to have discovered the first of what was believed to be several Mickey Mouse images that had been secretly hidden in "plain sight" by Disney's Imagineers over the years. The resulting surge in what had been a declining public interest prompted Disney officials to encourage this theory, sparking several books and pamphlets that explained the phenomenon and offered hints as to locations of other "Hidden Mickeys". Although later officials admitted that the entire story was fabricated, and that the Hidden Mickeys were, in fact, all added after 1989, public interest in the subject remains high and is believed to be the primary reason for 12% of all visits to Disney World.

    2. Of the official 432 "Hidden Mickeys" that exist in Disney World, there are 21 that have never been reported as "found".

    3. There are 19 objects with similar enough characteristics to have been mistakenly and repeatedly reported as "Hidden "Mickeys" that Disney World officials removed or significantly modified them so as to avoid future problems. The most costly was an oil stain from a leaking security vehicle near Typhoon Lagoon. The entire area was closed down for 3 days, while the offending walkway was re-paved.
