Look in the upstairs window of one of the Liberty Square windows that faces towards the river for two lanterns that glow at night.

"One if by land, two if by sea..."

:animwink: It's very subtle and most people don't notice it but it's there nonetheless.

The shutters in Liberty Square are crooked (back in those days, the shutters were hung with leather, as metal was scarse. So they never hung straight, because the leather would shrink).

Also, there technically are no bathrooms in Liberty Square.

If you tickle the host/hostess at Cinderella's Royal Table, they are legally required to give you a table and complimentary meal.

True! Here's a little more detail on that:

"during the revolutionary war, England stopped shipping the US almost everything made of metal because the colonials would melt them down for bullets. One thing they did continue to ship was shutters. The colonials would take the metal hinges off the shutters to melt down for bullets and would hang the shutters with leather straps. Over time, the leather would stretch out, causing the shutters to hang at an angle."

The chess pieces legend is just that, it was said that this actually was not intended just another story that gathered strength over the years

Lot of confusion over that.
Best I can tell, the spires are indeed chess pieces, fairly easy to see that.
However, it isn't recognized as "official", more of just an odd coincidence. WDI doesn't endorse it as part of the Mansion "story"....but it's there nonetheless.

Or possibly get escorted out of the park.

The water fountain behind Cinderella's castle is lower then the rest because adults have to bend over or "bow down" to Cinderella to get a drink. Kids do not need to bow so it is at the perfect height.

In POTC the skeletons playing chess are locked in a game that will never end. Im not a chess guy but the game is set up to be a game that will never have a winner and those jailed pirates are doomed for eternity to play that game.
