To number 29. No one had EVER been frozen till one month after Walter Died. His ashes were spread at a park in California. The only reason that rumor started was because it was a very private funeral even people working at Disney Land didn’t know what was happening to him. They thought he was being buried underneath Pirates of The Caribbean ride because they were doing a little construction at the time.

For my university course I had to do a project on an entrepreneur so I did Walter Disney. It took two months but when it was said and done my professor said that 98 percent of my project was correct. The only thing that apparently wasn’t actually proven was the haunting of the fire station.

Sometimes, during the fireworks, a castmember in a mickey suit climbs to the top of Matterhorn and waves.

This happens in Florida or California , “The keys to the kingdom tour”? Where is the fire department lamp , in Fla. or CA? etc….

what really is a mistery to me is the frozen corpse under Pirates of the Caribbean… and the fact that W.. Disney died on dec.. 15 and was born on dec. 5, his ex -wife died dec.. 16 (after suffering a stroke on dec. 15 years after his death ) and one of his nephews died on a dec. 16 , too. His two daughters were born on dec dates…. his brother died on dec. 20 , the day he was supposed to open the Disney parade… etc…

OK, so I just got back from Disney, and went on the “Keys to the Kingdom Tour” which was pretty cool. They first tell you that if you have questions that have a secretive answer to ask it backstage. Well, taking this mental note, once backstage I asked about both of the “Hall of Presidents” myths listed here and they were immediately balked at. The tour guide said that as far as Lincoln goes, she has been with the company for upwards of 20 years and has never heard that before, and has been on stage. As far as the Vice President goes, she went into great detail about the cost of designing those animatronics and said that it wouldn’t even make sense to make 2 with how much time and work goes into making just one.

Also, he story of the bedroom in Cinderella’s castle is not accurate. The construction of the castle began after Walt died and the room was initially intended for Roy O. Disney but he told the designers that he would very rarely travel to Florida and that he would not need such a room. They built it anyway and it was always intended as a room, never offices. They just used it a few years ago for the “Year of a Million Dreams”. The room is still used for charities like Make a Wish Foundation.

As far as the utilidors go, you do not go to the costuming department anymore, I felt kind of jipped, now they show you a DVD while underground, LOL. You spend very little time in the tunnel, and spend a lot of it looking at old pictures delving into the history and construction of the Kingdom.

I really want to clarify the whole “no deaths at Disney” fact.
No one has technically died on Disney grounds because none of the Disney parks have doctors on staff. To be officially dead, a doctor must declare their death, so even if someone’s heart stops beating at Disney, they are not technically dead until a doctor is able to confirm it.
So if you really think about it, there has never been a declared death at any Disney park!

The Club 33 in Disneyland is very exclusive, but it’s not simply for movie stars and celebrities. The waiting list is over 10 years long, and it costs a pretty big amount of money to become a member. My uncle is a member and it costs him over $5,000 a year.

:) I love Disney, always have, always will, and I know my facts! Haha
