The rooms were designed to be easily accessable for major renovations or if any major damage was done to one or more of the units. They could slide the unit out, make the necessary modifications or repairs or simply replace the entire unit if needed... of course it was a good idea....

I don't see how this can be true. World Showcase Lagoon is approximately 40 acres in size. The public areas of Disneyland's MK occupy approximately 85 acres. This doesn't include the backstage areas.
Maybe if you shoved all the buildings together and piled them on top of each other...

Disney facts and trivia
I don't know if this is true but I heard that the Contemporary Resort does have a 13th floor. Supposedly the floor is home to power generators and a.c. units.

More little known WDW facts:
1. An aeriel view of the Downtown Disney parking lot reveals it as a Hidden Mickey.
2. The Contemporary is actually only 5 stories. It just looks taller due to forced perspective.
3. The penny smooshing machines don't really smoosh your pennies. The wheel turning is an illusion; they dispense pre-smooshed pennies. Your pennies are saved and go through the five hour smooshing process overnight.

Wow. At least you're not vindictive in your corrections.
And perhaps our legs were being pulled? Hmmm?

Except for you know the part where your penny drops into the slot and you can see it roll down the little corridor-y type thing onto the wheel. And sometimes they don't smoosh the year out, and you can still see it, and it's the same when it starts as it is when it comes out. Point for trying =]
Oh, and no hidden mickey in the DTD parking lot either.
Oh, and there's actually 15 stories in the Contemporary Resort.
Just so you know.

Maybe the poster was confusing DTD with the original design of the Disney-MGM Studios?

And a couple more ...
1. The Pluto character in the MK is often portrayed by an actual dog. Obviously, it's not just any old dog under the suit, but rather a dog highly trained in pretending to be a cartoon dog.
2. The original concept for Maelstrom was to use actual trolls in the ride, but the National Union of Troll Solidarity threatened defamation lawsuits. So, Disney switched to AAs.
3. The site for Disney Studios was chosen because of the presence of the rundown, dilapidated Hollywood Tower Hotel. Imagineers salivated over the thought of being able to turn the long since closed hotel into an E ticket attraction.

I made a point of looking for this when I was on the ride this week. It's there! Kind of pleased with myself that I remembered to look and that I actually found it!

p.s. Found four other hidden mickey's at POP. I have found a total of 6!
There is a slight chance that these facts were made up.:zipit:
