number 10 bathrooms in Liberty Square
Disney World is known for being a place
of fantasy but there's one area where
they decided to opt for historical
accuracy instead considering how many
children frequent Disney parks every day
you'd better bet that they have a lot of
bathrooms scattered throughout the
different lands to ensure there are no
unwelcome accidents but in Magic
Kingdom's Liberty Square the only
washrooms are in restaurants why but all
considering Liberty Square is supposed
to bring visitors back to colonial times
a bathroom would be a major anachronism
next time you walk past the buildings
here check out the numbers on the doors
they are said to represent a specific
decade within the 18th century
number 9 an abandoned Airport runway
right now our plans include an airport
of the future down here in Osceola
County in the early 70s Disney World
added a small airport to the property so
that visitors could fly straight to the
park and bypass other larger airports
the airport was supposed to be open and
operating by 1976 five years after the
Magic Kingdom's opening he was only in
operation for a couple of years however
and has been in disuse ever since
one of the most whimsical features was
that they created a singing runway using
grooves in the pavement so that when you
drove across at just the right speed you
would hear the tune of when you wish
upon a star
technically a guests are not supposed to
go there and it's mainly used for
parking and storage but some visitors
have tried number 8 real American flags
there is a lot of patriotic sentiment
behind Walt
world especially on Main Street which is
representative of small-town America but
did you know that you won't actually see
any true American flags in the park
that's because Disney wanted to
circumvent the rules about raising and
lowering flags as well as flying them at
half-mast when necessary
you're probably thinking that there are
definitely flags in the park and you'd
be right but they use visual trickery to
make them look normal when in fact each
one is missing either a star or a stripe
number 7 chewing gum also not gonna find
on property anywhere is gum compared to
other amusement parks around the world
Disney parks are unfailingly clean and
tidy
you'd be hard-pressed to find trash on
the ground because there are carefully
placed garbage cans every 30 steps as
well as many staff members working on
keeping the parks clean not only that
but they also don't sell chewing gum in
Walt Disney World to prevent the mess of
gum cleanup gum isn't technically banned
so they won't confiscate yours at the
gates but if you're a gum fiend you
probably want to stock up before your
Disney vacation so this isn't an effort
to keep the parks cleaner and reduce the
amount of gum that needs to be scraped
off the side box number 6 staff members
pointing with one finger you may have
noticed that cast members never point
with just their index finger Disney
parks are known for their impeccable
customer service if you approach any
staff member you are pretty much
guaranteed to get a helpful and friendly
response to any question you may have
and behind that experience are lots of
rules if an employee doesn't know how to
help you they aren't allowed to say I
don't know they have to find a solution
including directing you to another staff
member who could help also if they're
giving you directions they are not
allowed to use one finger to point
that's because the gesture is considered
rude in some cultures so they always use
two fingers instead number five the real
height of Cinderella's castle when you
walk through the gates at Walt Disney
World the first thing you see is the
imposing and magical structure of
Cinderella's castle
the structure is 189 feet high but it
was intentionally built to look much
taller he Imagineers used forced
perspective techniques to trick the eye
into thinking it was larger one example
of this is the fact that the bricks near
the top are smaller
than the ones at the bottom similarly
the newer beasts castle in Fantasyland
is actually tiny but the way it was
constructed makes it look life-sized
number four a neighboring land Disney's
Magic Kingdom has six lands within the
park adventure land fantasy land
frontier land Liberty Square Main Street
and Tomorrowland and the park was
specifically designed so that when
you're in one area the experience is
completely immersive that means that
they've expertly crafted each area so
that you can never see another one while
some of the lands are very close
together they use things like trees and
carefully designed structures to keep
the experience consistent each land also
has its own soundscape and you won't
hear the music from one land in another
one either
number three hidden smells okay so
Disney has some pretty iconic sort of
recognized them anywhere since as many
of you know now some of these are pretty
self-explanatory like popcorn or
roasting nuts or cotton candy others are
actually created by Disney we all know
how much memories can be associated with
smells and that's a fact the people at
Disney decided to exploit in the design
of their parks while the park does have
popcorn popping and cookies baking those
smells are enhanced by patented smell at
Sur technology that uses fake aromas and
pumps them into the parks oh my god it
smells so yummy around here oh yeah they
pump in pleasant smells to make you
happier and want to buy things you're
such a cynic while it's true of the park
in general they also use the technique
to create ambiance on specific rides for
example on Pirates of the Caribbean you
may notice the smell of gunpowder
lingers in the air
number two secret tunnels according to
Disney legend Walt Disney himself wanted
to keep the magic alive by ensuring that
guests didn't see the employees moving
from land to land while in costume so to
that end he created a series of
underground passageways underneath the
Magic Kingdom for staff to pass through
they also function to aid with trash
removal and food services the series of
tunnels is quite extensive covering 390
mm and 40 square feet and there are
similar those smaller systems
EPCOT as well while visitors are
strictly forbidden from entering what
are referred to as the utilities there
is a special tour called keys to the
kingdom that lets you in behind the
scenes before we continue be sure to
subscribe to our channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos you have the option to be
notified for occasional videos or all of
them if you're on your phone make sure
you go into your settings and switch on
notifications number one the suite in
Cinderella's castle you may have heard a
rumor that you're able to spend the
night in Cinderella's castle and we're
here to confirm that it is true there is
an extra magical suite hidden inside a
castle itself which lets you feel like
royalty for the night you're probably
thinking that a stay here must cost a
pretty penny but you'd be incorrect on
that one
Disney does not allow bookings for this
particular suite only offering it up on
invitation and to contest winners it's
probably for the best because otherwise
the waiting list would inevitably be
about a mile long
speaking of Cinderella the statue of her
in the park is made to look different to
adults and children do you agree with
