Weird Secrets of the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World!

[@dalemorison7918]

And honestly, the Utilidor tunnels, are actually Really Creepy!! I got the opportunity to work in Magic Kingdom during the Summer of 2017, I'm their janitorial department which meant that mostly I was doing sweeping, emptying trash bins & cleaning/ restocking the bathrooms as needed. My shifts were generally Friday thru Sunday Evenings from like 3 o'clock in the afternoon to park close so somewhere between 10 pm & Midnight, and my assigned service area was Main Street U.S.A, from Train Station to Castle, we were also responsible for crowd control all around that area during the fireworks presentations, so I spent quite a bit of time traversing throughout those Utilidors, and later at night when most of the cast has gone home for the night, before the overnight crew has gotten there to begin their shifts, and the Utilidors are almost empty, which unless the parks are outright closed for a weather day, they're Never Completely Empty, but when things slow down in there towards the end of the night, you hear noises that kinda just don't make sense, so my mind would start running away on me a little bit, and it was Real Easy to start feeling like I was being watched or followed, and I'm not normally one to be sensitive to or freaked out by the possibility of paranormal or little ghoulies or ghosties running around, although I've never truly experienced or seen anything directly, that I would attribute to the paranormal realm, in the Utilidors or anywhere else for that matter, but I Am Convinced That The Magic Kingdom Utilidors Are Haunted!! And maybe not just by past Disney Castmembers or employees either. I know that before they became Disney Property, much of the land they sit on in FL was citrus growing property, but before the citrus growers got hold of thar land I'm pretty sure most if not all of it was Narive American land, The Seminole Tribe & whatnot, and I feel That energy is still attached to those lands as well.

I love these Disney Parks history / hidden secrets videos. 🤙

[@btverse]

As someone who has done the Keys to the Kingdom tour, any fan should do the tour. Neat experience, no smell.

[@ValerieMcdonald-k4t]

Watching your videos adds a slice of happiness to my life, thank you so much for sharing your research and knowledge in a fun and engaging way.

[@magic2253711]

Fun video Justin! It's giving original Randomland vibes! We're back! At Disney!

[@steeltoadslippers]

Balloon pop at 3:34 At least it was before someone bought it! We had that happen on the car ride home from Disneyland 😢 Great video (as always), Justin!!!

[@jessicaf6358]

If your balloon pops, tell a cast member (park worker) -- they should give you another one.

[@alison2649]

I bet you that’s the most private bathroom that you’re going to find in the park from an extra long bathroom visit. Perfect,lol

[@juliewilson6573]

This video is excellent content! Loved learning all the weird facts and the time you put in to research and share this is appreciated !

[@zeroconsequences]

It was sad to see the 20,000 Leagues attraction go, but at least that one went and not the Sub lagoon in Disneyland. That one really 'ties the room together.' Neat Easter eggs in WDW though! Justin is such a character.

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

It's been a week at the Cole homestead...this was just what the doc ordered! Always with you..a happy video! Thankyou so so much! This was so fun Needed it. Much love. Hope all is well with you and Miss Ally❤

[@justthebestaround1200]

Every time I think I’ve learned everything, someone comes along and teaches me some new stuff. Thanks for a fun video Justin!

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Less than halfway through, but LOVING this video Justin! 🥰👌🏼 safe to say, I'll be watching till the end! 💙👌🏼😉

[@mikeysplaytime]

Also, the Liberty Tree that was selected was 100 years old and weighed around 38 tons! It was also originally 8 miles away from where it’s located today (the east side of the property) and they had to insert metal rods into the trunk to move it because of its weight. The final touch was hanging 13 lanterns from its branches to represent the 13 original colonies. Yup… the Liberty Square tree is something else!

[@johnhormaza5469]

Love it when you're back doing weird Disney stuff 🎉

[@jimshafer3101]

Always fun to see all the secrets that Walt came up with back in the day, another great video

[@MrLvgsprit]

Hi Justin, Well you’re getting even better every time I watch your Randomland videos. Truly a consummate professional. Thank you for all you do. Love you both ❤.

[@jackcraig]

Absolutely loved this, thanks for sharing.

[@lisaglass8850]

No one does Disney history then you, Justin. While I enjoy the Disney hotel and food vloggers it is your videos that reflect the real magic behind Disney. It is the details that make Disney fore so many of us. ♥

[@annieo6806]

Always enjoy your vlogs! You really do your research. 😊

[@reyskymunker]

Great vid! A couple of those secrets I never knew. Also, I will never be able to look at the flower bed Mickey the same way again.. hilarious 😂

[@lynettetruitt7534]

Whoa dude I'm exhausted from all the info in this video but I loved it. Thanks for all the fun hidden secrets.❤

[@MannyEmm]

Love the vid…..I was one who heard the rumor about the trash can tubes. I worked at Disneyland, for about 9 years and have been a guest for 60 years, I would see cast members going from one side of the park to the other, while in out of place costumes. It takes away from the magic. Thank you Justin.

[@kimberlyb6090]

I love Summer Magic. I have it on DVD. Haven't watched it in a while. That is so cool. Thanks for showing me that. Even though I'll probably make it to WDW. I knew about the flags.

[@WarBoyWonder]

Love this videos brotha keep up the great work!

[@bbbbisque]

this is some really interesting stuff bro!! looking forward to more vids ☺

[@coasters_bgw]

Had never heard the Liberty Square bathroom rumor! Thanks for the video!

[@Michelle.smiles]

I am so enjoying this! I love learning . And, I love summer place 19:55

[@cspat1]

Hi Justin I just wanted to say I was fortunate and rode the submarine ride in the 1980’s It really did feel and look like you were far under the sea. I remember enjoying it very much ,and thought it was worth the wait in line.

[@SkipperFreddy]

Hey Justin! Great video. I love the Osh Popham reference too. One thought/note to explore on the flags. I noticed the flags missing stars too. But I assumed it had to do with the time period. These appear to be the 1896 or 1907 flags when we only had 45 or 46 states which would have been the flag when Walt was a kid, or when Main Street’s time/space universe takes place. Could be fun to find out the truth. Cheers, matey.

[@bradmad8346]

Wow, the video is great, I don't know what you use but it looks much more professional than most You Tube fare.

[@RileyAndrews-c1t]

Justin, don’t forget to look up above the H. Goff sign- the weathervane has the squid from 20,000 Leagues on it!

[@FunTimes.withJustineRose]

At about 38:56, you caught the end of a proposal on camera! :) also, great video as always! Thanks for leaving the comments on this time!! I don't use my Facebook 😂

[@xArcade_]

I'm currently watching this heading into work (at Main Street USA in Orlando lol) and now I wanna go and look at the "pennants". I didn't know that!!

[@nicesky360]

One of my fav special features is the Haunted Mansion service corridor. In 2019 late at night during a Christmas party, my daughter and I were lucky enough to sign the Book of Condolences. I wonder if the full books are kept in the library?

[@zig_zagman]

I actually remember hearing about the Osh Popham reference before, either on a podcast or another KZbin video.

[@HalloweenHunters]

Absolutely amazing video!!! I’ve never been to Disney world but I love this history!! I will get to Florida one day😂

[@elizabethharrison7306]

Magic Kingdom Love my favorite Disneyland one fan BIG 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🎶🏰

[@dannygrau2983]

That's awesome I'm a big Disney World and Disneyland fan . We have a whole week trip booked tomorrow.

[@airtiki2374]

Wow that was alot of cool info..🤣🤣maybe floral Mickey's mouth has a suction tube in it,

[@kennethsimmons564]

Justin, are there any other underground tunnel systems in the other parks or downtown Disney?

[@charlesriggs8084]

I am a former castmember, and my favorite " wierd fun facts" about Walt Disney World in Florida are #1 Along with the utildoor tunnels being the 1st floor..the dirt covering them came from the dig site of the 7 seas lagoon #2 As the 7 seas lagoon is man-made it was purposely dug a bit shallow so that the ferry boats can't fully sink underwater.

[@BeyondBlessed-bd6ro]

Another great one!

[@nv4699]

20,000 Leagues was a fun ride. I still have postcards. The old Hollywood studios had the actual movie model that was used.

[@mariad.6373]

I haven’t seen summer magic for years but can sing the songs. Is it on streaming?? The gnome mobile is one I keep looking for but can’t find either!

[@rkstevenson5448]

I'm a little surprised that they didn't just illuminate those flags, since the flag code allows them to remain up even at night as long as they're lit by a lamp specifically for the purpose of lighting the flag. Granted, they'd still have to be replaced if damaged or dirty, and during rain they'd still have to come down. But the "pennant" loophole during inclement weather feels like something most people wouldn't be aware of. If I saw those still up while it's raining I'd think they were violating flag code (even if they technically aren't). Edit: I just counted, and you're absolutely right, that one flag only had 48 stars. The second one you showed, however, had 50 stars and 13 stripes, so that was an accurate flag.

[@ninetailsclub]

Thank you love you're videos

[@mattisakid]

The rumor about the trash cans may have originated from the Kingdom Keepers book series by Ridley Pearson. If I recall, Pearson incorrectly describes the AVAC system as being connected to all the trash cans. He also incorrectly describes the plot of Fantasmic as including Chernabog turning into a dragon (not Maleficent). There’s some weird stuff in those books.

[@shooterxmcgavin9259]

The balloon pop at 3:34 😅

[@Dolcezza]

3:35 min a ballon explote 😂

[@lordsjaak]

about the flags i did know that because i also like the flag protocol in the Netherlands, tobad on the trash sucking tube. awell lucky have the Efteling well but it is well short version of it

[@pocowoso1436]

Love your videos

[@Milkyway-Galaxy11]

There is a subway sandwich shop under Gaston’s tavern

[@OffRampAdventures]

Anything Disney seems to turn up your mojo!

[@BanazirGalpsi1968]

I haven't watched it but i should. I have th 5:39 e early millennium dvds of parent trap and pollyanna , both with Hayley Mills. I love those movies. I also need to watch moonspinners and that d cat. Apparently theres a non Disney movie she made first in England i have to find as well . Not going to go nuts on the tv stuff she did, some of it for Disney channel.

[@robertnessful]

You're the boss, Justin. I think there's a restroom tucked away behind the Sleepy Hollow counter service restaurant. I think it's by the dining area next to the restaurant.

[@AXander1978]

How MK is always more crowded than even DL on weekddays =The 9th Secret

[@amandapurvis3245]

I live for those bloopers 😅

[@GulfCoastalConnectionsmapache]

Great episode. 👏👏👏

[@scottg9236]

The utility doors or as we call them the tunnels doesn't smell. It is well ventilated. If I ever get to meet you in person I can tell a few things in private. I'm glad you mentioned the Natalis at Winnie the pooh cause that's the ride I do maintenance on.

[@davidcross7824]

I would love an episode on the Dogs inside each attraction, are they all the same dog? I was aware one is based of Walt's dog, but what if there is more?

[@dannygrau2983]

I am currently using the sony a7siii and I am obsessed.

[@AdventureArtist1]

That flag fact was mentioned by someone else recently, but not in detail. Thank you I was confused. Do you live in Florida now? It's nice to get information, I hope to go with my family someday. God bless.

[@mareekatz]

I've ALWAYS loved Burl Ives ❤

[@HauntedMansionGirl]

If the trash went straight down from the trash cans, you know somehow a kid would get sucked down eventually.

[@tonyhidalgo3558]

Can you research the giant vacuum cleaners used at Disneyland back in the 60s & 70s? I tried to research it myself but nothing. I saw them every time I went in the 70s.

[@Melchiahdim]

I love the "weird" videos.

[@Obelixr1]

I believe, the flags are the version from between 1912 to 1959 with 48 stars, putting Mainstreet in that time. (I might be wrong, tho) Thank you for all the great videos, keep up the good work, and greetings from goooood ol Western Germany.

[@robroy4452]

There’s a secret bathroom located in Liberty Square. I don’t believe it was ever meant for public use and think it was entirely for cast member use only. I worked in Magic Kingdom on the College Program in 2016. Actually saw you in the park one day Justin, but I was too nervous to say hello! Anyways - I normally worked in Adventureland in Aloha Isle and Sunshine Tree Terrace. But I was cross trained to Liberty Square. Worked Sleepy Hollow and The Market. There weren’t any bathrooms super close by backstage, so I learnt about a bathroom just inside the exit of the Hall of Presidents. Fairly certain the door is marked Cast members Only, but I’m sure we can still claim the myth of no bathrooms in LS busted. :P Also. Can confirm Utilidors exist and they stretch underneath on west side to just behind Aloha Isle. Can at least confirm that.

[@catherinetozzi8056]

Justin you have a good mind! ❤️🌴

[@Hikarihoratio]

randomland candid proposal by the caste awww

[@Project-Jaden]

Walt hand picked the liberty tree, I was told this on the keys to the kingdom tour

[@tylertheretophiliac]

Sweet homework Justin. I wanna tell u a little “sneakcret” 😅 in liberty square, the liberty tree itself with the lanterns was actually picked out by Walt himself in the animal kingdom side of the property, as he told his surveyors and workers to move it into what is now liberty square… don’t wanna give all the details out. But h can definitely squeeze all the details out if u know wheee to look & ask dude 👍

[@blackjack5329]

Cool I like it😊

[@robertmiller2830]

Very nice video

[@amandapurvis3245]

Omg the ugly bug ball 🐛 🪲 🐞. Now that took me way back. It was on my sing along songs 🎵 to the ball, to the ball 🎶

[@andystephens3663]

I was gonna check out Summer Magic and it’s not even in Disney Plus! Such an important film for Disney history and they blew it! Sad 😢

[@BanazirGalpsi1968]

I want some kind of 2000 leages in tomorrowland. The original concept of tommorowland being more fact based may have issues,but a retro science fantasy concept of the generic future that never was based on mankinds hopes and dreams has legs. That's why we like buzz lightyears spin. And the people mover. And the monorail. Id move autopia/speedway to either fronteirland or adventure land. ( Antique cars, route 66, car safaris around the world or out west, lots of other themes it could have.) Id put in a robot Olympics or robot wars areana show. Maybe a spoof of the old innoventions atraction. And the house of the futre can come back but with a grain of nostalgic salt . Also you could rebuild horizons in tomorrowland.

[@montemullen2801]

I enjoy your videos . I hope to run into you before you head west , that would be awesome.

[@jcunningham791]

Love it

[@mebluewater]

Haha so funny the weird Mickey

[@Eddunaway-qp5tv]

It also has a little St Louis flavor to it Main Street USA espaily at disneyland with streat lamps wear made in st.louis and the indain came from st.louos that was on the smoke store as Disneyland that we also on st.louos the mayor of st.louis back in 1955 let walt disney have for the disneyland and disneyworld

[@cwknight]

Justin… the Main Street flags are themed to the time of Main Street… doesn’t that make more sense than the silly flag code thing?

[@catalyst6313]

It's good!

[@zerxilk8169]

all the best.

[@haroldcook5360]

Nice😊

[@disneybelle3594]

I don’t have time to correct all the inaccuracies in this video.

Are you back to Florida again? You must like Florida. Enjoy your time there, 🙏🏽❤️🌴

[@Mardagan88]

Summer Magic is not on Disney+ :(

[@kayeward2047]

Did you know the parks have wooden Indians in the parks one on main street another in Frontierland.

[@travissapp4961]

Cool

[@thiskid25]

if i counted correctly that flag has 48 stars and 12 stripes.

[@chrisgentry7242]

That wasn't a cheaply made flag. That was a replica of the 48 star flag which dates all the way back to ww2. In ww2 we only had 48 states and after the war we bought Alaska from Russia and Hawaii also became a state because of pearl harbor.

[@YOPDTV]

WEEEEEEIIIIIIRRRRRDDDDDDDDD!!!!!

[@jonathanlawrence1401]

My daughter is disgusted by the poo stream in Liberty Square. And by the lack of comments to the video!

[@dalemorison7918]

Exactly Justin!! I worked those trash cans all that summer, (2017), and I Can Fully Attest That There Is NO Suction System Connected To Any Of Them, As That Would Have Made That Job That Summer Sooooooo Much Easier, For Me & Everybody Else I Was Working With There That Year!! Now if the Disney parks were being built today with 2020's technology in place it's possible that the brains behind the original AVAC System might now be able to come up with an automated suction system where the trash there Does get instantly whisked away to somewhere else directly from the trashcan point itself, but if they came up with tge technology for it now, I think it would take too much money and physical destruction to the already existing infrastructure to retrofit it into what's already there, and working fairly well, I would say, maybe not perfectly, but Heaven is the world for perfect, not Earth.

Prince Eric's Village Marketplace is the only place in Magic Kingdom that sells non-Mickey hot pretzels. There's one (and only one) place that sells the traditional hot pretzels in each park. (A cart in Epcot's Germany, Baseline Taphouse in Hollywood Studios, and Pongu Pongu in Animal Kingdom's Pandora.) 🥨
