Moving along with the DISNEYLAND facts! Here's another 8 to devour!
- There is a basketball court at the top of the Matterhorn. Employees go shoot hoops on their breaks.
- The abominable snowman in the Matterhorn is named Harold.
- Disneyland was built in one year.
- Michelle Pfeiffer worked at Disneyland as Alice from Alice in Wonderland in the 1970s.
- There's a secret apartment hidden in Disneyland's fire station. The light in the window is supposed to symbolize Walt's presence.
- About 200 feral cats live in Disneyland to keep rodents away. Many of them are nocturnal, so a sighting during the day is rare.
- The water features in Disneyland are green or brown to hide the vehicle tracks and filtration systems.
- When it opened in 1959, the Disneyland Monorail was the first daily operating monorail in the Western Hemisphere.
A basketball court to play on during breaks would be cool.
ReplyDeleteWow. 200 cats. Poor Mickey, he doesn't stand a chance!
ReplyDeleteMichelle Pffeifer was Alice in Wonderland? Woah, I had no idea about that!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh and 200 ferals? Clearly Mickey doesn't want any extended family around!
I've heard of most of these other than the Michelle P one. I would love to work at Disney just to get on the inside. Inside Club 33 :)
