Eric, I feel your pain. My parents took their family of 5 from Illinois to Florida in 1980 on a $500 (in cash!) budget. My parents never had credit cards in their lives. We got lucky because my folks knew people in Orlando (we lived there briefly in the 70s) who put us up for free in the empty parsonage of their church for the week. This allowed us to go to Magic Kingdom, Sea World and Circus World. We ate breakfasts and dinners at the parsonage and lunch everyday in a parking lot. The only souvenirs we got from Disney was a balloon each and a printed souvenir book we shared. That's it. My parents weren't cheap, just poor, but I still got to do what other wealthier kids my age never got to do. I visited Disney at least 3 times in my childhood and for a high school graduation gift, we stayed nearly a week at the Campgrounds and bought park-hopper passes. It was great.

At Palisade Tahoe (Squaw Valley) they still do a announcement on the tram where they say that Walt was inspired by the mountains when he visited for the Olympics and that's what he used as reference when they build Big Thunder Mountain. Walt died over 10 years before Big Thunder opened so to say that Walt had anything to do with it is hilarious. Also the mountains there look nothing like Big Thunder.

If you go to Plimouth Plantation, the historical interpreters there do throw "slops" (leftover food) out on to the dirt streets. But if you go to Williamsburg, you'll find plenty of privies as outbuildings. If I were a passerby in colonial times, it would be easy to hop a fence and use someone's privy and hop back on to the street. I didn't see any interpreter there throw slops into the street.

I do not have a picture to back up my claim, but I have seen a "ring" by the horse carriage in WDW many years ago. My own family had a picture of it. Not found now when you need it of course. What I saw was not a cut off piece of brass. It was person-sized yellow metal. was not black, grey, jagged iron. It may have been a temp story thing that has been forgotten over time, but I saw this with my own eyes. The ring myth does have real plausibility.

In the winter Victorian dressed carolers walk the streets to make a Victorian village. It is rough on my mobility scooter, for sure. They should paint the lines to better simulate cobblestones.

Regarding US Flag Code, the official US Flag Code is not binding or empowered to penalize those who do not abide by it. It's basically a list of suggestions. People tend to confuse Flag Code with the Flag Protection Act that was passed by Congress in 1968, which did have penalties for the misuse of the US flag. This was subsequently found unconstitutional and unenforceable in US v. Eichman 1990.

I can personally attest that Thunder Mountain does knock kidney stones loose. It happened to me, and it took me out of commission for two days during my vacation. However I did ride most of the Magic Kingdom rides that day, including Space Mountain, so my data is not scientific. I brought this up at my next urologist appointment and he said it was definitely possible and sometimes people passed kidney stones after bad car accidents, etc. Anything that shakes up your body…

I heard multiple times (even from cast members) that there was one REAL skull within the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN attraction at Disneyland. Supposedly, it was the one on the bed headboard. I later got the privilege to escort X Atencio at the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 2 premiere, and actually got to ride the newly-renovated attraction with X. That was memorable for sure. However, when I mentioned that rumor to him, the 87 year old X forcefully said, "Oh, that's bullsh*t!" He said, "We never would have done that. If anything, they would have reference real cadavers for molding, but none of it made it into the Park. Period!" Later, I got the same confirmed by Marty Sklar. The other rumor in the Dland PIRATES attraction is that the treasure chest you see as you are about to leave that treasure room is from PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL. That rumor is absolutely true.
@Bernstorm5000 Жыл бұрын
Funny. I wrote this before listening to the whole thing and you guys addressed this issue. Not convinced what you are saying is true. X was pretty emphatic, but Marty is the one who really convinced me. He said that rumor had been going around for years, even within WED/Imagineering, but it was absolutely not true. Who knows. These stories take on a life of their own. Marty and X would have likely known for sure, and they were convincing, but the truth may be lost to the ages.
