More fun facts about the second happiest place on earth! As I was always under the idea that Disney World was the first one!


  • The Haunted Mansion has 999 ghosts in it. 
  • Employees weren't allowed to grow mustaches until 2000.
  • Walt Disney wanted his employees to be clean shaven. Pirates of the Caribbean originally wasn't supposed to be a ride — it was first planned to be a walk-through attraction. The same plan was made for the Haunted Mansion.
  • Real human skeletons were used as props when Pirates of the Caribbean first opened. Today there is only one human skull left in the ride — the one attached to the headboard. 
  • Disneyland park announcer Bill Rodgers and California Adventure park announcer Camille Dixon are married. 
  • Steve Martin worked at Disneyland in the '50s selling guidebooks and working in the magic shop. 
  • Club 33 is the only location in Disneyland where you can buy alcohol. You can score a drink in California Adventure too. 
  • Walt Disney loved spending time with park guests so much that he would sometimes wait in line with them.
