Hello everyone,
As many of you, I' ve been to DRP more than a thousand time, but I was wondering about something...
What are some of those tiny secrets of magic inside the park that only true Disneyland fans know about?
I mean things like 'The Descent of the Stairs' at four 'o clock or the telephone in (now) Flora's Boutique that allows you to hear voices. What are some of your favourites, and maybe share so others can discover the magic
How about Hidden Mickeys?
Check out this website, It's interesting to see how many you know...

Yes Hidden Mickeys are great too! I try to avoid the sites that tell you where they are though, I like to discover them myself. I also find a new one every time. It's like it's a small world; you see a new doll EVERY TIME ;D
I always find it exciting looking for the treasure in skull rock
dont know if it counts, but i saw carl fredrickson and russell from up between frontierland and adventure land yesterday. didnt know they were there.
Great topic! I have to think of something ???

YES that counts. I haven't been there since they put them there, so that'll be exciting! I took me ages to find Wall-E, because he's put all the way in the back somewhere
Just thought of one more. For Dutchies and Belgians it's always exciting to go around the Christmas period, because they put up 'Sinterklaas' in It's a Small World. I almost freaked out the last time I was there, becaéuse I's never noticed it before
Hi :)
Where is Wall-E hidden does anyone know? :o

Hi :)
Where is Wall-E hidden does anyone know? :o
Isn't he a statue together with Eve in Discoveryland?
He's in the ring near Space Mountain if I recall correctly.
Or do you mean another Wall-E? :D
I've always missed it, because it's in Discoveryland, but all the way in the back.
I love that Wall-E & Eve statue - it was originally meant to go to one of the Eastern parks (Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, can't remember which), so glad we got it instead :)
One of the nice little touches I noticed the first time we stayed in the Santa Fe was there is a decoration featuring a "route 66" style map. Where Anaheim would be, there is a picture of the Disneyland Castle, with Walt Disney himself as one of the punters!
On the family crest on Mr Toad's Diner, it says "No Consumus Froglegus", pig latin for "don't eat frogs legs"!
The retro American car "parked" outside of Annette's Diner has the numberplate "12 04 92", the date which DLRP opened.
I don't know if it counts as a secret, but we were very excited and surprised the first time we discovered the Dragon under the castle. I think that's a really nice touch. We felt the same about the fact you can go upstairs and see the windows, book etc. My wife was used to going to Florida as a child and essentially just walking through he castle there.
I haven't been since Wall-E was released so looking forward to seeing all the new additions ;D ;D
Apparently, one of the skulls in the PotC ride is a real one, or is that a myth?

That dragon is amazing. Wouldn't it be great though if it was Ursula's cave...
well the trouble with that is that the cave is themed to match the castle above.
Now as for the suggestion of putting up Tritons palace somewhere with Ursula in a cave below it, I'm all for it. ;D
However, I'd like to keep Sleeping Beauty's Castle as the park centre-piece. :)

It's actually found in Disneyland California. It's the scene where the skeleton captain is looking through a magnifying glass. If you look closely, the skull and crossbones attached to the headboard of his bed are darker in colour and more aged than the rest of the skeletons on the ride, which makes people believe they are a real person's bones.
I was soooo excited to discover a hidden mickey all on my own for the first time on my latest trip, I couldn't believe how thrilled I was ha ha! If you're interested, it is in Crush's Coaster. If you are sitting in the front seat, look quite high up at the wall directly in front of you just before you turn left to go up the lift hill. There are "balloons" together that form the Mickey!
I've just read that there is a door in the L'enchanteur Merlin shop that leads to rhe dragon. Is that true? Where is the door; I musthabe missed it :)
Yes that is true. Basically its across from the entrance door to the shop. Enter the shop and keep to your right and you will find it at the end of the store
