Toy Story Mania has special bullseye's that when hit increase your score by a lot. Videos on youtube.

I hit one of those once, but it was by accident so I wouldn't even know where it was to do it again. I'm not a very good shot, so I just keep moving the gun and shooting. I looked down at my score at some point during the ride and screamed 'Holy Hannah honey, look at that!' That's the only time I beat the hubbs. :)

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SAY GEORGE?!!?
I know this thread is old, but I just read that saying his name three times makes the ride break down. It's an urban legend, but there are a lot of people who swear their boats got stuck after they did this.

All attractions are under 200 feet. The reason for this is because Walt didn't want the red blinking beacon for planes on the attraction, because it would ruin the show.

When walking through Liberty Square at the Magic Kingdom, look in the middle of the road and you will see brown pavement that is a different color than the rest ofmthe road. This is to replicate the past when people would throw their sewage in the street.

The crash doors at Test Track ( prior to rehab ) were styrofoam.

This has not been confirmed but if you look at the Swan and Dolphin, both hotels have two large black squares in the middle. This is thought to be where they were thinking of bringing the monorail through those resorts.

The windows of Main Street USA have names of influential Disney people and the alias companies Walt used to purchase the land for Disney World.

I'm glad to know that the sewage thing is an effect...

Across from the Grand Floridian is a cell tower with branches on it, i guess Disney is trying to hide it.

When you go down the drop on PoTC you are actually going under the railroad.

Do you know where Walt's window is?

At the MK, Walt has two windows...
One can be seen outside of the entrance turnstiles at the highest point of the Main Street Train Station, and the other is above the Plaza Ice Cream Emporium facing Cinderella Castle.

The windows all along Main Street continued on the tradition started at Disneyland.
They were meant to be similar to film credits, paying homage to those who made the show happen.

When the windows at WDWs Magic Kingdom were being placed, it was decided by the designers at that time to place two for Walt as a sort of *bookends* to the *credits* shown in the other windows on Main Street.

Start with Walt...end with Walt.

The one above the Train Station is great...

If you buy a postcard at the small newsstand gift shop at the MK entry they have an actual Main Street USA Magic Kingdom postmark to "ink" on the stamp. You have to ask the cashier.... she said nobody ever asks...
It is pretty cool and authentic looking. I joked I collect postcards and was bringing all of my collection to have the postmark placed on each one next trip. ( I have a huge collection of postcards tho, my favorite thing to collect)

I have found some on the internet that I'm going to paste below. If you have found any or have tried any that I have found or that you have found yourself and want to talk about them then comment below please :)
Magic Kingdom:
· When you walk under the Magic Kingdom train station, go into the Disneyana store on your right. As you enter the building, go to the right and towards the rear of the building. Along the way you'll find an area where you can play “Who wants to be a Millionaire” on some special machines. But you want to keep going towards the back to see if you can find part of a former Magic Kingdom attraction.
· When riding pooh bear look for a picture of “toads wild ride” handing over a deed to Owl
· Ride Carousel of progress and look for hidden mickeys and make sure to pay attention to small details
· Mickey is looking for a key to the garage washroom in toontown… hint: you can spot this key from the street
· Find birdhouses on splash mountain… hint: you don’t have to ride the ride to find them
· Find the Water Fountain behind Cinderella’s castle; it is Cinderella holding a bird. If you stand in front of it and curtsey something will happen, but what?
· Find the telephones in the stores along Main Street, Pick one up for a surprise.
· Next to Pizza Planet is a shop named DHS with several large wooden packing crates; trying lifting the lids off a few.
· On Pirates of the Caribbean during the fire scene scream George 3 times and sees what happens. Legend says an imaginer named George died while constructing the ride. He is said to haunt the ride unless the CMs say goodnight to him each evening.
· Go into Tinkerbelle Treasures and find a special box containing a sleeping Tinkerbelle. If you are the first guest to find her then you might be lucky enough to be asked to wake her up. If so then there will be a surprise for everyone in the store.
· In Fantasyland, pull the sword from the stone and you could be the lucky one to actually pull it out.
· Tonys Town Square on Main Street is a replica of the Lady & the Tramp restaurant; you can find paw prints with hearts around them near the front of the store.
· There are special fast pass pictures a photographer may offer to take for you, but usually you have to ask. You can ask to do all sorts of things in the picture but you must ask the photographer which one they can do.
·
Epcot:
· Find the Hollywood Tower of Terror in Epcot. First, find what direction MGM is from Epcot then you when you find it try to find the optical illusion.
· There is a hidden mickey located 4 inches above a pair of eyes.
· Find a maypole and figure out how to make it turn and stop.
· Locate a working ferris wheel, figure out how to make it stop and go.
· “Now here's one that may take time. Did you know that there is a musical band in Epcot that plays music all day long? It is special music because the instruments in this band are not played by humans and you can find this band playing outdoors. So, where do you find this band? That's your task.”
· At night, find colored lights to WALK on
· To find the very center of Walt Disney world you must go to Future World in Epcot. It is a great place to get your picture taken.
· There is an African Outpost where you can try to open crates.
MGM:
ü There is an area where you can walk to props from one of the most famous movies of all time. These props are outdoors and you might recognize them when you see them, but where are they?
ü There are holes all over the park and if you do something then they will talk. Be on the lookout for holes “that just might be itching to say something”.
ü Find the large optical illusion while making your way to Lights! Motors! Action! Extreme Stunt Show. Hint: It is easier to see from far away than up close and this illusion can be found at the location of a former popular MGM attraction.
ü Around closing time go to the Star Wars attraction and be VERY quiet, you will be able to hear Ewoks gathered around a campfire talking about their plans for the next day.
ü At Muppets 3D once you walk in there is a ticket window to the right with a “Closed – key under mat” sign. Look under the mat and see if the key is REALLY there!
ü By Indian Jones there are crates hidden in the bushes marked “don’t open” – go ahead and open them!
ü Also, next to Indian Jones is a well with a rope in it, pull the rope for a surprise.
ü In the Honey I shrunk the kids playground find a dog nose next to a garden hose and put your hand inside it.
Other Areas:
v When getting on the Riverboat ask to ride in the pilot house and receive official riverboat pilots certificates.
At Epcot do the Agent P (Phineas and Ferb) little game around the World Showcase. You pick up a little smartphone and tour the different countries with little game prompts. Fun things happen in each country and it is cool to see the reactions of other guests!
