Disneyland can be your favorite place on Earth as long as you don’t become an employee at their theme parks. While you are having a good time, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for people landing jobs at Disney. Every place hide it’s best well-kept secrets. Here are some hidden facts from the behind-the-scenes Disneyland doesn’t want you to know.
Here are 10 best secrets Disneyland have hidden from you.
10. No Tarzan
Can you imagine what it feels like to be inside the big bulky costume? Luckily for the people who have to deal with being one of Disney most popular characters, some people can show their own face to the crowd. For a very depressing reason, the beloved character Tarzan is nowhere to be found in the park. Apparently, too many women were pitching his irresistible but.
9. Cats
One thing women love more than men are cats. Luckily for them, Disneyland has quite the cat problem. Cats have been sighted at the park as far back as 1955 when they infested the sleeping beauty castle. Trying to avoid big public relation’s nightmare, they do get an inexpensive and effective solution to the rodents that would otherwise plague the park. A catch and release program have been set to manage another infestation.
8. Skeletons
It is apparently hard to find high-quality, durable skeletons these days. Especially if you want them to be realistic looking. When creating the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in 1967, the designer wasn’t satisfied with the fake skeleton and started using real human bones, they came from the UCLA Medical School. Once technology advanced, they were replaced by realistic replicas.
7. Ashes
The cleaning crew is already working so hard trying to cover people stomach sickness, food waste and regular dirty. However, many people have been caught trying to scatter the ashes of loved ones at the park. This is disturbing!
6. Utilidoors
The illusion of perfect is always at its best at Disneyland. The company’s policy is asking some kind of employee to hide. An employee scrubbing its ice cream off the sidewalk is not very magical and shouldn’t be seen by the guest. Here is why they use “utility corridors.’ Yes, this means the park is running from the underground. The largest one is under the Magic Kingdom Park, it’s large enough for vehicles to traverse it in case of an emergency.
5. Sensors
Disney’s newest concept consists of creating a network of sensors that can scan your feet. This concept is an addition to the wristbands to monitor the guest inside the park. However, we must say this is simply a way to figure out how to get you to spend more money while you visit.
4. Club 33
Disney forgot to tell you about its secret society. Probably because becoming a member is no easy task. Originally, club 33 was to be used for the park’s corporate sponsors and other VIPS. Currently, celebrities, presidents, and other people deemed important enough are able to become members. The initiation fee for corporate members is $40,000 and $27.00 for individual members added to an annual dues of eleven thousand dollars. Members get exclusive Member Only dinner club as well as special access, valet parking and six passes fast per day.
3. Envelope of Protection
This is a common term used by Disney to insure your protection. Rides are constantly being tested. If you though self-stick were refused so they can sell you more expansive pictures, you were wrong. It’s only because when the stick was tested, it did not pass the envelope test.
2. Steering the Ship
Did you know you could try your hand at steering the ship on the Mark Twain riverboat? Before boarding, find a kind looking cast members and ask politely as you possibly can if you can visit the wheelhouse. If you get lucky, they’ll direct you to the second level of the ship where you’ll see a door marked ‘private.”
1. BONUS! Characters
Being able to dress up as your favorite character for a living may seem like a dream come true but as with any job there are downsides. They are the face’s characters who rely on careful makeup and outfits to transform, and fur characters, which are the people who wear big, bulky costumes. Unfortunately, people are forbidden to admit that they play the part of the characters and instructed to claim that they are a friend of theirs.
