I think since the changeover to The Seas with Nemo and Friends, a lot of people just head outside after the ride or turtle talk and forget that if you go upstairs, you can still see the huge underwater viewing area. If you see it during a feeding time, you will see that there are still thousands of fish in there

It wasn't an entire 2nd floor. It was only a small, little section. So realistically, I just don't think it was needed.

The Electric Umbrella has two floors as well. There's additional seating upstairs!

Thanks for the picture. Always great to see the old pictures of what use to be.
A few facts about Hollywood Studios:
Next to the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, there is a rope leading into a hole in the ground. Pull it and you hear the screams of the unfortunate explorer who just let go of the rope because of you.
The area around the Big Sorcerer Mickey's Hat is actually a large hidden Mickey. Echo Lake is one of the ears.

Respectfully (to those who posted that the descent into the graveyard symbolizes a death), the descent wasn't intended to be interpreted as a fall out of a window, nor does the rider symbolically die: the nature of the rider's interactions with the Ghost Host and the other ghosts doesn't change -- they continue to go about their merry way and the rider remains an observer (just like the terrified watchman).
While there's nothing wrong with interpreting the attraction your own way, making up your own backstory, or choosing your favorite bit of urban legend as your preferred narrative for the Haunted Mansion, the original storyline follows the Disneyland version: after encountering the ghostly bride (and, as originally intended, the hatbox ghost!), you escape from the attic by climbing out onto a balcony and then down a tree. (The balcony rail and the tree are both visible during the descent into the graveyard.) The full adventure as it was originally conceived and interpreted is told here, with the exit from the attic around the 5:00 mark, after which the narrator winds her way through the graveyard, still very much alive:

Did you know that they only had a certain number of heads (can't remember how many but not many) and the heads/faces on PotC are the same in HM. One I noticed is the person that blows out the candles in the HM ball room is the same as the one spitting water after being pulled out of the well in PotC. HM is female. PotC is male.
I guess I should say forms or molds, they only had so many forms/molds of heads

Did you know that back in the 60s, long hair and facial hair were considered to be signs of the hippies, which Disney did not want (and could not afford) to be associated with. Hence, the policy was set that all male employees had to have short hair and facial hair...
This policy was changed in 2000. Now male employees are allowed to have neatly trimmed moustaches. Yay!
But walt had a mustache! (Mousetache? Lol).
Not anymore. The big hat destroyed it.

Is it just me or does that old Centorium blue carpeted area look like the Horizons show building?
They were really in love with that shape, it appears.

Walt wasn't about to let some snot-nosed cast member upstage him in the mustache department!

Did you know that when you enter MK and are standing in town square, the lamps surrounding you are turn-of-the-century gas lamps? And as you walk down MSUSA the lamps change to electric lamps. This is because when you walk down MS toward the castle, you're supposed to be walking through time into the future as the gas lamp gives way to the electric lamp, and horse drawn trolleys are replaced with the automobile.

So why are the lights at the end of Main street like the electric ones?Did you know that when you enter MK and are standing in town square, the lamps surrounding you are turn-of-the-century gas lamps?

They aren't. They are the next version of the electric that you can still find in cities, today. Similar look.

But our town still has gas lamps

They may just be gas lamp fuxtures that have been converted to electricity. I doubt the town would condone such a misuse of energy like that. probably have just kept them for decorative reasons.

They ARE gas lamps. Misuse of energy? Natural gas is cheaper and more plentiful and I live in the middle of the gas boom. Look it up. The little town in Pennsylvania that still has gas lamps.
And furthermore in the 70's when we had the gas shortage. Big brother tried to make the town convert them. They didn't.
