the attention to detail at the disney
theme parks is what makes disney stand
out from the rest
so many of these details in their rides
and attractions are easy to overlook and
completely miss if you aren't looking
out for them
now over the years magic kingdom has
seen attractions come and go and
although these attractions are now
extinct their legacy still lives on at
the park we're gonna take a look into
the history of a few of these extinct
attractions at magic kingdom and explore
some hidden secrets and easter eggs at
the park in one way or another every
hidden secret was either influenced by
or has a direct connection in some way
with these extinct attractions so today
we're going to be counting down the top
5 hidden secrets of extinct attractions
at magic kingdom
number 5 the deed
the many adventures of winnie the pooh
located in fantasyland wasn't the
original ride in that show building
this used to be the home of mr toad's
wild ride which was an opening day
attraction in 1971.
it was a classic disney dark ride and
unlike the ride at disneyland in
california this version at magic kingdom
had two separate and unique tracks
although it was a fan favorite disney
closed mr toad's wild ride in september
of 1998
despite the backlash from the disney
community the popularity of the
adventures of ichabod and mr toad movie
had sizzled out and around this time the
winnie the pooh franchise was becoming
more and more popular
so the many adventures of winnie the
pooh opened in june of 1999
but mr toad wasn't completely evicted
once his ride closed down after you pass
the blustery day show scene you're going
to want to keep your eyes peeled and pay
special attention to the pictures in
owl's room there's a lot happening here
that's going to catch your eye but as
soon as you enter through the doors
quickly look to the left and the first
picture you'll see is mr toad handing
the deed of the property over to owl and
that's not the only mr toad reference in
the ride
on the right hand side you'll also find
a picture of molly with winnie the pooh
that can be found on the floor next to
the chair
it's said that this image depicts molly
moving out making way for winnie the
pooh so the presence of mr toad still
lives on but this isn't the only place
you can find him at magic kingdom
number 4 the pet cemetery
the haunted mansion is one of the iconic
attractions at walt disney world which
made its debut on opening day in
1971. the attraction delights guests
with its witty dark humor and it all
starts way before you even enter the
physical attraction the queue is fully
decorated to set the scene including the
cemetery where madame liotta was laid to
rest
for starters she's always watching you
so keep your eyes peeled but also take a
second to read the tombstones each is
engraved with a witty rhyme like this
one dear sweet lyota beloved by all in
regions beyond now but having a ball
well this here isn't the only cemetery
on site as you exit the attraction it's
easy to rush out to catch that next
fastpass but if you're guilty of this
you're probably missing out on another
little secret on the left hand side
there's a pet cemetery and like the
tombstones for the humans the animals
were also given woody rhymes so remember
how we said that the winnie the pooh
ride isn't the only place to find mr
toad well he can also be found right
here mr toad was placed in the pet
cemetery in 2006 eight years after mr
toad's wild ride closed down he used to
reside on the upper left-hand side but
as of recently he was moved to the
center the pet cemetery suffered some
damage in 2017 during hurricane irma and
it knocked down some trees so disney
took that opportunity to kind of rework
the area now there's a myth among cast
members that mr toad's tombstone says
here lies toad it's sad but true not
nearly as marketable as winnie the pooh
when you zoom right in you can see that
there's nothing on the actual stone
maybe it's on the back but the front has
nothing either way if this was true this
text would fit right in with the others
so next time you're exiting the haunted
mansion don't forget to say hi to mr
toad who resides in this brand new
humble abode
number three pascal's friends
another one of the opening day
attractions at magic kingdom was the
skyway this gondola lift ride took you
between two stations in fantasyland and
tomorrowland it provided you with some
great views of the attractions down
below like 20 000 leagues under the sea
but hold on because there is more about
that attraction coming up next well on
november 10th 1999 disney closed the
skyway for good and the stations
remained abandoned while the park
decided what they wanted to do with
those areas the fantasy land station was
located right beside it's a small world
and in mid 2011 12 years after the ride
closed down the station was finally torn
down making this old abandoned
attraction completely extinct and this
is where it becomes associated with the
next hidden secret in addition to the
construction of new fantasyland disney
took this opportunity to turn the skyway
station into the tangled restrooms which
finally opened in march of 2013.
so rapunzel
well she's got a dream and an e-ticket
restroom complete with many details from
the film including rapunzel's tower this
is one of the most heavily themed
restroom areas you've ever seen anywhere
you can spend quite a bit of time just
walking around this area looking at each
individual detail like the hoof print in
the pavement that belongs to maximus and
what's tangled without the glowing
lanterns well at night the lanterns
light up this whole section and it's
also a great spot to watch the fireworks
now among the other details hidden in
this area you're going to want to find
this sign in the courtyard which reads
look for friends of pascal in the
scenery hidden among all the flowers and
greenery pascal is rapunzel's pet
chameleon and when the area first opened
there was approximately 10 of his
friends hidden in the area not including
this guy as of recently some may have
been removed so we'll show you a couple
of them here but we're not going to give
them all away what we'll say is not all
the flowers and greenery are on the
ground so you might want to take a look
up to find some more of his friends
now if you're already familiar with this
hidden secret how many of pascal's
friends were you able to find leave a
comment down below
number two
the triton nautilus another opening day
attraction that's now extinct at magic
kingdom is 20 000 leagues under the sea
submarine voyage
at one time you were able to board the
nautilus submarine and embark on an
underwater
journey giant clam obviously is quite
safe from such marine predators
this attraction occupied a big piece of
fantasyland real estate it pretty much
covered the entire area where new
fantasy land is today but on september
5th 1994 the attraction closed suddenly
for what many people thought was just a
last minute refurbishment
well as the months went by it became
more and more evident that the
attraction would remain closed for good
the rumor is that it cost a lot to
maintain and run the ride and it also
had a really low guest capacity so the
lagoon just sat as is until 1995 when
disney turned the left side of the
attraction into ariel's grotto a king
triton fountain was placed in the lagoon
and this abandoned attraction sort of
became a repurposed experience where you
were able to meet ariel well today a new
fantasy land right across the way from
under the sea journey of the little
mermaid there's a statue of king triton
it appears it's a little tribute to that
water fountain statue that used to be in
the lagoon seeing that his pose is
almost identical but it's definitely not
the same statue now if you take a look
at the blueprint sketch behind king
triton his left arm is away from his
torso and this appears to be the exact
same pose from the fountain adding
another connection to that extinct
attraction
so in regards to the lagoon it remained
abandoned and unused until it was
drained in 2004 and the entire
attraction was finally demolished that's
with the exception of ariel's grotto
which remained until 2010
now as we said earlier the entire new
fantasyland area uses the plot of land
from the submarine voyage under the sea
journey of the little mermaid sits on
the area that used to be the submarine
voyage show building well in the little
mermaid queue there's a hidden tribute
to the now extinct attraction the
nautilus submarine had a very specific
look and the outline of the sub can be
found right in the queue's rock work if
you stand directly in front of this
netting before you enter the indoor part
of the queue you'll be able to see the
nautilus submarine do you see it
how about now
and there it is this is one of those
hidden secrets that's really easy to
just walk past if you didn't know it was
there that's exactly what i did until
mark from yesterworld pointed out the
sub while we were exploring the park you
can check out yesterworld's channel in
the card in the right hand side but this
here isn't the only tribute to the
submarine voyage at magic kingdom
number 1
mr sanders
at the entrance of the many adventures
of winnie the pooh sits mr sanders
treehouse and inside the tree house
you'll find another hidden nod to the
nautilus submarine
once you're inside you're going to want
to look above the frame of the larger
door and there you'll find the nautilus
engraved into the wood now you might be
saying
why is the nautilus engraved into the
tree house if the area from the winnie
the pooh ride was never part of 20 000
leagues under the sea well in 2004 when
the submarine voyage was demolished
disney opened pooh's playful spot in
2005 directly across from the winnie the
pooh ride the new playground and meet
and greet area was on part of the land
from the old lagoon at the center of
pooh's playful spot at mr sanders
treehouse and this is the exact same
treehouse that's currently at the
entrance of the ride
when pooh's playful spot closed in 2010
to make way for new fantasy land disney
used the crane to transport the 120 ton
tree
150 feet across the way to the ride's
entrance
saving the tree helped connect the
winnie the pooh ride with the enchanted
forest of new fantasyland and along with
this connection the nautilus also
survived the move so 20 000 leagues
under the sea may be gone but that ride
will never be forgotten you just need to
know where to look to find it
so have you ever noticed any of these
little hidden secrets at magic kingdom
and if you could bring back one of these
extinct rides either the skyway mr
toad's wild ride or 20 000 leagues under
the sea which would you bring back and
