Favorite Obscure disney thing?

[gibson12]

So many--that's why I go back! All the tiny architectural details on Main Street St. and in WS in general. But specifically...

I will wait longer than I should to ride SSE just to see which record is on the front of the pile in the moon landing scene.

music has always put me into the Disney "bubble"

I downloaded the Finale music from Fantasmic! the other day at work, and it immediately took me right smack dab to the middle of the amphitheater (sadly, only figuratively). It's amazing what Disney Parks music can do even when you're out in the real world.

I agree, when I want to be in Disney again, I listen to my favorite Disney music, and I'm transported to my favorite place on earth, I've been going since 1972.

Rocking chairs on Tom Sawyer's island, obscure because this is one of my favourite attractions and doesn't seem to get much love

The Magic Kingdom "Casting Agency" door on Main Street. I'm a Casting Director, so I get a kick out of finding "my office" on Main Street. (Of course, there's no such thing as a "Casting Agency" -- Agents are Agents and Casting Directors are Casting Directors -- but who am I to nitpick? )

The purple & red Disney road signs with the Mickey ears. I feel "home" once I see them on property.

The fiber optic lighting in the sidewalks at Epcot fascinate me. Late at night while slowly making our way out, after the crowds are gone, it is fun to walk around watching the lights underfoot.

That's exactly what I was going to say!!

But where do they work if they are not a department of a company ?

I always like to keep an eye out for the obscure/older characters. It doesn't happen often, but I love it when you see a character from Robin Hood, Song of the South, or what have you.
I always have to seek out Donald in Mexico though, so it's not all obscure for me.

My brother and I met Friar Tuck on our last trip. He had no line of kids waiting to meet him. My brother ran up to him and said "Oh my gosh, you're here, Friar Tuck!" And he started nodding all happily, as if to say "FINALLY, someone recognizes me! Those little ingrates can keep Pluto and those insufferable chipmunks!"

We also saw Clarabelle Cow near the firehouse. That was a nice surprise.

It certainly helps that I, and no doubt other guests, will occasionally pick up trash in Disney because hey, why not?

I did this my last trip and my Fiancée laughed at me... there is just something special about being in Disney and I want everyone else to notice that, not the piece of trash some DA decided to leave 10 feet from a trash can...

The African American Scientist AA on Spaceship Earth.

Not only AA but if I remember correctly... a women!!!

You remember correctly!

The little pixie dust on the wall right before getting off Peter Pan.

Great minds...

Such a huge deal!! That and Doc McStuffins, giving girls things to look up to even in the smallest way of an AA female scientist on SSE is huge and is one of my favorite parts of Disney

Anyway this is absolutely awesome in every way lol...

My favorite things are:

The smell of the water in PoTC
The fiber optics in the Epcot future world
The feeling of the PM cars going over the tracks
The music in the Land Pavilion, the Land Pavilion in general has to be one of my favorite buildings in WDW
Sitting in Morocco at the Tangierine Cafe and watching everyone go by, so relaxing

Not in WDW but the WDC:

The fact that on their Wedding Website they have same sex couples!! I love that they openly promote this!!

For me, "my" bedroom in the Swiss Family Treehouse. DD16 says for her it's the rocky path up to one of the slides at Typhoon Lagoon. I also love the super-tall bamboo at AK.

The smell of The Haunted Mansion. I can't really articulate why.

I figured out exactly what that smell is. I replaced the gear oil in my planer and when I opened the new jug, the room filled with the smell of the haunted mansion. I hadn't been to WDW in the 20 years before that, but the smell took me right to the haunted mansion. And it makes sense. Think about all of the oiled up gears and chain that are all oiled up under the doom buggies.

Well, I guess it's off to the hardware store I go.

A Casting Office!
