Not much of a secret but here it is. If you want to go to MK's Tomorrowland as you get to the end of Main street and before you cross the bridge, turn right and walk past the Plaza Restaraunt threw a little used fast service place and you come out just past the bridge entrance to Tomorrowland. It cuts out quite a few steps.

The best secret i know is that there is a hidden mickey in splash mountain that resides....at my house I bought it ....
strange that they would remove it but oh well. got coa and plaque and everything.
Also I love the reference to splash mountain in TBA where you see the top of the old ride in one of the backdrops with the fireflies. It's the only thing about that ride I payed attention to
There is also a fact that no one knows that Aerosmith has a song called Fever, and aerosmith was in the Rockin roller coaster, though that song is not. But in the song they say the plaque that's on splash mountain that says "you can't run away from trouble there ain't no place that far" so IT's kinda a disney connection

Feels more like niche trivia than a secret, but after going on the Keys to the Kingdom tour, it turns out Imagineers gave Main Street USA's pathway (Florida) a tiny incline as you approach the castle, to slow you down so you take in the views more. More interestingly, the area's red concrete is supposed to resemble red carpet, as if every guest is a VIP guest entering the kingdom as the stars of their own adventure that day (the adventure being the rides they experience).
KTTK also unrelatedly revealed that for a time they used to use (I think RFID(?)) pucks embedded in the ground to trigger the appropriate music loop to start for parade (Festival of Fantasy), which would pause that area's typical music loop until the parade has fully passed by. There's at least 1 puck still embedded in the ground at the curving Cast Member-only walkway directly left of Bayou Adventure, visible and pointed out during the KTTK tour. The pucks didn't trigger the music loops at the precise times Disney needed, so they went back to the old method of manually triggering music cues in the MK parade control centre.

I'll give them using the reveal to star the castle but the whole entrance is ramped up for practical reasons so Main St elevation is raised above the utilidoors which are at ground (lake) level. They had an engineering problem and solved it with imagination leading to good show. Kinda lacking in the big box world of today

This is overstated. Yes, there is a slight elevation change, but it’s at most a 2’ rise over a 400’ run. You don’t want anything to actually be flat as it won’t allow water to drain away. A 1:200 slope is a lot shallower than the code maximums of 1:20 for direction of travel and 1:48 for cross slopes.
