10. Underground tunnels (doesn't seem to be true)

9. Flash mountain (heard about this one several years ago and that many of the pictures are online)

8. Buried at Disneyland

7. Cat kingdom (never heard about this one)

6. Walt's everlasting presence (thought this one was pretty well known)

5. Forced perspective (first heard about this one years ago - it's a bit of a necessary thing)

4. Working at Disneyland (current cast members openly talk about wearing their uniforms outside of the park - it's not allowed, but it's not really enforced - some talk about how weird it is to see cast members gassing up their car or grocery shopping in uniform)

3. Disney VIP (club 33 is well known - a few of you have probably been there)

2. Hippie invasion (don't remember this one)

1. Basketball court inside the Matterhorn (heard this one many, many years ago)

caveat emptor.

Got curious and found these two.

10. There was this man that had scissors on him. Not sure how he got passed security with that. He approached a little girl from behind with the scissors drawn and cut the string off her balloon.

 

Hahaha! 

 

IEBRUIN is hilarious

Growing up as the use of the internet increased, and all its amazing capabilities began to surface, I never thought ADs would be able to ruin the online experience as much as they do.

 

Really is a shame.

I couldn't either, at first. When I clicked on the title of the article, then I was taken to a page where I could scroll through.

Wonder what he thinks is false because they're all true.

I know that 10, 9, 6, 5, 3 and 1 are true.  

 

8 isn't out of question because I'm sure people have done/tried it for die hard Disney fans that passed away.

 

7 is odd, but could be true.  But I would have thought you would have seen them around.

 

4 is probably true.  

 

And 2 they should have napalmed TS island.

I heard they have an incredible markup on concessions and souveniers.

If you ride the tram to the parking garage and look by the fence that is blocking the backstage area, you can usually spot a cat or 7.

I heard they hide out back stage during the day and come out after the park is closed.

the FB page i visit recently had a huge discussion about the existence of an underground network of tunnels. the conclusion is that while there is one tunnel, it does not connect to the entire park. there are several underground areas that serve as break rooms and such, but only disney world has the vast network of underground tunnels that connects the entire thing.

 

i never even thought about people dumping ashes of loved ones there, but it certainly makes sense that people would try.

They give tours of the tunnels in Florida. A little expensive, but we'll worth it.

Flash Mountain was one of the first "porn" sites I ever visited in the early years of the internet. Awww, memories!

Here is an article on the hippy invasion, http://retrobandit.hubpages.com/hub/The-Yippie-Invasion-of-Disneyland

I have worked at Disneyland for last 25 years. I can't get past the ads on the first page but would be happy to answer any questions that I can about this list. The only one that is not true for sure is about anyone being buried at the park. No one is buried at the park. There is no real tunnel "system" there is a short tunnel that goes from lower hungry bear to the backstage area behind the pooh attraction. There is also a tunnel that starts behind Innoventions and comes out on the Matterhorn side of Buzz Lightyear. There are tunnels for guests to play in on Tom Sawyers Island. There are a couple of basement hallways as well but there is no elaborate system.

11.  That wasn't Abraham Lincoln.  He was a fake.

The buried at the park thing refers to people spreading ashes at the park of loved ones. I know this happened a few years ago on Pirates of the Caribbean and wouldn't surprise me if it's happened prior to that also. I'm sure a lot of it probably isn't noticed.

I am a carpenter foreman. People were caught attempting to spread ashes that is true. That happened I. The haunted mansion as I recall. There is no "earth" to speak of at the mansion of pirates for that matter.
