Myths and Urban Legends, True or False

[Goofyernmost]

Rumor: Paul McCartney is dead and living in the body of Justin Bieber. I certainly hope that this isn't true. Please!

What's even going on in this thread now

I'd heard one of the singing busts at the Haunted Mansion was Walt Disney. It's false though, I think : )

It's false....the bust is Mellomen lead singer (and voice of Tony the Tiger) Thurl Ravenscroft.

He just happened to bear a bit of resemblance to Disney.

Just heard this rumor from a bus driver last Tuesday.

When building the Swan and Dolphin...the guy putting the giant statues on top of the hotels mixed up which statue went on which building - essentially putting a Swan on top of the Dolphin and a Dolphin (fish) on top of the Swan. And to save on costs - they just swapped everything in each hotel.

Disney bus drivers really have some good rumors. They make me giggle to see other guests with this shock look on their faces.

I was definitely told this by a bus driver last time I was at WDW.

Like you said, probably not true. But, i kinda hope it is true.

A couple other true legends:
1. Tom Sawyer Island was named after the Rush song.
2. Spaceship Earth was built at one of Disney's warehouses near Epcot, then rolled into place once it was done.
3. Walt's last words were "need more datamining".

I was at Disney world a few years ago. I went to get a turkey leg and the vendor asked me to gobble. After I did I got the turkey leg for free! I don't know that if you just walk up and gobble they will give you the leg for free though.

Walt transmigrated his soul into Kurt Russell's body and has lived there ever since. When Kurt dies he will move to Honey Boo Boo.

I heard about the man in the web at HM back in my Doombuggies days and I recall that an old cast member guide with the ride layout/all the effects included a vague reference to it. I really want to know if this is true.

I thought that was true at the very beginning when it opened but was quickly removed. Anyone?

@Goofnut1980 I think this is what you are looking for.

This is my first time posting on this but I was was having alot of fun reading this I had to join in. This is regarding the Andy myth that was mentioned. It was true that if you call out 'andy's coming' that Woody and Buzz would drop to the ground. But because someone posted it around the internet the 'fun of it' got ruined and now the cast just ignores it.

how about this great myth. I have once heard tale that in expedition Everest there was once a yeti, and he moved! it's been so long now
nobody can remember if it was real or if they only dreamed it. there is a prophesy that says it existed and may one day exist again. between you and me I think it an old wives tale meant for the easily fooled and for stickied forum threads...

Its true i saw this happen but everyone i tell does not believe me...

One version of this I have heard is in regards to the suit of armor that was worn by a Cast Member who would then pop out at guests in a Doom Buggy. That did happen, the false story is that it was ended due to a guest being so scared he had a heart attack. I think another version is that the ride in general was so scary that it scared a guest to death, literally.[/quote]

OMG i was young when this happened to me at Disney world. The buggy stopped right in front of the long hallway and i could have sworn that there was a armor knight walking towards me slowly. That was the first and only time i cried on HM. Every time still to this day as i move by it I hope the ride does not stop...

..OMG...You are so lucky you ain't from the UK..The word has such a different meaning..The vendor would be sporting a Mickey hand tattoo on his face..

The tossing of the dime into the Sassagoula river where a couple were trying for years to start a family..Two years later they were back at PORS,with their new baby.I thought it was a cute story from the CM,until on our last visit,a girl at the concierge confirmed that the couple stay there once a year..

Someone actually yelled that at Splash Mtn Sat when I was there and Jessie crossed her arms in an "X" at him. Usually they just ignore it.
