If you look really closely, you can spot the Infinity Gauntlet in the treasure room in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Disneyland was originally supposed to be named Dinosland (and the classic Disneyland sign was originally erected as Dinosland), building on Walt's little-known affection for dinosaurs. Disney historians are still puzzled as to why, considering the park itself would be much the same as it opened (and would thus have nothing to do with dinosaurs). Some have speculated it's because "Dinos" is close to "Disney", and the cost to rebuild the sign per-letter would be cheaper than thinking of an all-new word. Others just think it's a testament to the fact that Walt's mind could change on a dime, and that nothing in his Park was sacred.

Everyone knows they used a real human skull on the headboard for Pirates of the Caribbean's bedroom scene...
But few people know those are actually Walt Disney's bones.

Riders on Space Mountain used to be inches from jagged metal beams. This resulted in numerous incidents of mangled limbs and missing fingers. As a result the attraction became one of DL's most popular rides.

When Disney bought Lucasfilm, they were preparing to overlay Adventureland into the Indiana Jones themed Abenteuerland. It would've been a distant land conquered by an evil empire. Stormtroopers would've roamed and interrogated guests. There would've been two new rides an aerial dogflight simulator and a prison/base escape ride where you would be threatened by...

Oh wait, I just described SW:GE.
