Pretty amazing stuff
There's an image on google http://www.bigfloridacountry.com/wdw/utilidors.shtml, and it looks like the utilidors were built below ground surface....
I don't know how to copy the pic though![]()

How do you know what is what by this pic?
When you've lived this stuff for decades you kind of recognise things.
And another interesting one:

The "building" that makes up the Fantasyland utilidor. The black area is the roof of the Utilidor and the walking area of the guest area. The dirt all around is real ground level, and the dug trench is for the real lower tunnel under the hub waterways.
Correct. New Orleans Square has a rather massive, shared basement complex and there a few tunnel below Tomorrowland (one was used for the Rocket Rods queue).And they were only built at WDW not at DL ?
And they were only built at WDW not at DL ?
So the Utilidors were actually a Walt Disney the person concept
So the Utilidors were actually a Walt Disney the person concept
The concept likely comes from Victor Gruen. The Heart of Our Cities: The Urban Crisis: Diagnosis and Cure, a book Walt Disney owned, outlines a series of urban design principles that are clearly an inspiration for EPCOT, including the separated, lower level service areas.Yes they were but the 'Florida Project' MK was the only place they could be built, All the other parks used ring roads instead for CM access, There are a few utilidors in EPCOT
I thought the sinkhole was over in EPCOT

If your lucky you can get a peak into the tunnel when they leave one of the doors open under the Fountain of Nations stage.There's an image on google http://www.bigfloridacountry.com/wdw/utilidors.shtml, and it looks like the utilidors were built below ground surface....
