getting into the planning stages right now and thought I would ask about the really really hidden secret gems and little extras that the more experienced members have found.

Ive been doing some research and have complied a list. Im not sure how up to date this info is, it is very likely that some of these are no longer available but I'm going to ask anyway.

ok so far my internet research has come up with

My First Visit Badge -  my friend got me one from City Hall in Disneyland California so I want to get one for my mum

Riverboats - ask CM  for a map and to steer the boat. If you get to steer the boat you get to sign a guestbook and receive a certificate

Buffalo Bill - ask City Hall if they do a mounted parade through Disney village and what time it is at

Disneyland Train - ask CM if you can ride up front in the tender seat, also ask about a reservation for the Lily Belle carriage

Phantom Manor - ask CM about death certificate

So does anyone know if these are still being done at DLP and does anyone have other suggestions. I know about the dragon under the castle and the sounds outside the shops on main street.

This all is stuff you can do in California I am sure. As a lot of this was on an Adam Rucker video on youtube

The Lilly Belle carriage is for Club 33 members and those that ask for reservations http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcWzOvivs_A.

thanks for that video.  I will still ask at Christmas about these things but as I go to Disneyland California every year I will see how many are still being done

I genuinely think a lot of these are Disneyland, Cali. I did read somewhere they've stopped the Death Certificates specifically.

I even think it was on Buzzfeed. I shall check

Have you any other suggestions similar to these?

I didn't know you could get a Captains certificate from the River boat at DLP, i have never seen anyone get one. Only for VIP guests on a guided tour i think. :P
