    What's your darkest Disney secret?

    Suuuuree.... post a picture of one when they are little and cute. Seriously, dumbest animal in existence. They would probably drown in a rain storm from looking up trying to figure out what was happening.

    Pointing is not allowed

    There were several occasions when I wondered if I could use a loop hole that Disney never told me expressly which two fingers had to be used. There were a couple of occasions where I would have loved to have used one finger from each hand!!

    What's you most awkward/embarrassing moment with a character

    I accidentally grabbed Cinderella's . I was reaching to take my 1 year old away and she turned. I know I turned 5 shades of red and she just smiled at me and said, " That will happen 5 more times today and at least I know yours was an accident." She winked and we went on our way...

    What's your darkest Disney secret?

    I hated those birds and secretly inside, I felt I did the attraction a favor. They are the dumbest things created and would just stand there in the middle of the path causing a complete ride stop. When the safaris first opened there were something around 30 of them and they were picked off one...

    Kilomanjaro Secret

    It is a mystery that no-one has solved but it is indeed true. Seems like everyone needs a picture of some white things laying on the ground! Factoid: The first Baobob tree as you enter the savanah has a cctv camera mounted in it for Animal Programs to watch over the area

    Kilomanjaro Secret

    Sometimes you had to wonder if K12 was really listening to you.. "Kilimanjaro 12, Safari 26" "Go ahead 26" "yeah, I just unloaded and and there is a HUGE grinding noise coming from the truck when I turn right" "Do a full reset and let me know if that fixes the problem" "Fixes the grinding...

    Damage repair status?

    like I said, I would call what I said rumor at this point as everyone who would know is under a gag order. I do have a friend who is a monorail pilot and what I was told was just being discussed amongst those cast members (hourly and management). I do know that Bombardier does not produce that...

    Walt Disney's Secret Island in WDW

    they had to shut down discovery island because of all the snakes... there used to be a "water park" there years ago with walking trails and such. lots of birds (which they still feed and care for) and even a wave maker that turned out to be completely disfunctional!

    Kilomanjaro Secret

    ACTUALLY... The trucks are equipped with what is called dual speed. From the VM lot to the ride path they will go up to 20 mph. There are "pucks" (like on the ride path that trigger the Wilson audio and track the vehicles back at the station) in the VM parking lot that activate the second...
