Going to Disney in 2 months and I wanted to know what hidden "easter eggs" are still around. For example, are there any tips/tricks to increase your chances of a Magical Moment? I remember hearing about monorail/ferry cards that are given out. Reading through content on the internet you hear about all these fun hidden things about Aladdin's spitting camel (don't think that is around) and a few others. I am curious to hear about what is still current, what I should try, and anything else. In providing tips, factor in that I am not a first time goer by any means, so ill get any references. Thanks!

My baby recently was handed a monorail sticker at the Contemporary monorail station, which I thought was super cute. It went in her baby book.

Picking up a celebration button used to enhance your ability to receive those special type moments. But now since pretty much everyone gets them, I don't think it's as big of a factor. I'm at the point where I don't search out that stuff anymore. Trying to "enhance" your chance of getting a magical moment sort of makes them less magical to me.

I think it depends on the button. I've found that the "birthday" button has no impact. We've been early summer which is when we celebrate our anniversary, quite a few times. The one time I got my wife to wear an anniversary button we got tons of attention.

Here's one that's not too widely known- you can get a photo-op at the end of the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. The stuntman who plays Indy and occasionally others hang around at the front of the stage at the end of the show while everyone is filing out.

That is interesting and one I did not know. My son would love that.

I've heard recently that the "I'm offended by Iger's Bonus" button has garnered an additional "I like warm hugs"sticker or two when strolling through the Norway pavilion.

Last time we were there (Sept 2014) the Aladdin camel was still spitting. Also in Adventureland, the tiki statues spit. I'm not sure if you count the "games" that you can play in this question, but MK has Sorcerers of the MK, & Pirates game in Adventureland, and Epcot has the Agent P's World Showcase Adventure game in WS. AK has the Wilderness Explorer Experience where kids can check in at the various stations located around the park. There used to be a "party line" phone on Main St that you could pick up and "listen in", I think the last time I heard about it, it had been moved to the Chapeau (?). There is also supposed to be one in Tomorrowland at a brightly colored, futuristic, phone booth. You can always look for Hidden Mickeys, too.

Hope you have a Wonderful Magic-filled time! Just being there has lots of Magic for us :happy:

The two most "magical" moments that stick out for me were back in sept 2006. Aladin stole a kiss, on the cheek, from my youngest daughter (she was 6 at the time). she promptly went and told Jasmine. And every time we go since then she still makes a point to tell Jasmine about it. also on that trip were were back near the CoP waiting for a few friends. the kids were sitting on the bench, bored, eating popcorn. Stich sneaked up behind them and started eating their popcorn.

not really hidden things more random acts by CMs, sadly with the ever increasing crowds it seems things like this don't happen as much...

Outside Indiana Jones there's a rope that goes down into a well. There's mining sounds, hammers and pick axes, coming up from down below. If you pull on the rope, something may get said from down there like, "Hey, stop that."

Also, being an extra at Indy is great. Just get there early, smile, and be super enthused when they ask for volunteers.

My son, when he was 5, "started" Illuminations. We were eating at the Rose & Crowne, and one of the waitresses brought a light saber and asked if he would start the fireworks. He stood in a special spot, waved it, and "boom".

Pushing the various pre-launch buttons on Mission Space can also be fun, with blips and tweets.

Being "that guy" in the Monster's Laugh Floor is fun. Done that.

We learned not to wear our Disney apparel on our trips, which everyone is wearing. Instead, my whole family will wear Green Bay Packer shirts or Dr. Who shirts on a certain day. It's fun to get reactions out of people.

I'm considering getting a "I'm Ralphlaw at WDWMagic" t-shirt. That might be real cool.
