DISNEY TIPS

 

Horizons:                                 Find the restrooms to the left of Horizons. There should be some drinking fountains near them. Push the button on the drinking fountain – it TALKS!

 

Liberty Sq:                              Over the bridge into Liberty Sq there is an ice cream shop. This is supposed to be 1 of the better places to view the parades (don’t forget, during the day, the parades come from the back of the park, at night, they come from the front of the park)

 

Kilimanjaro:                           Ride the Safari 3 times a day. You will see a better variety of animals this way. The hippos & elephants like the early morning, the zebras & giraffes get frisky midday & the lions enjoy the late afternoon

 

Tomorrowland:                       There is a talking trash can somewhere in Cosmic Rays

 

Liberty Belle Riverboat:          If you are on the top deck, you can see the “captain”. If he sees you standing near the roped off area, there is a good chance he will call you up to allow you to “steer” the boat.

 

Room Reservations:                We already know that when making our reservations we can REQUEST a specific room/building, but we are not GUARANTEED that until we actually check in. If you call 5 days before, directly to the resort you are staying at, ask for the “rooms controller” in the “front office”, tell them what you are looking for & what you would specifically like, there is a 95% chance that you will get exactly that before you even step foot on Disney property

 

Castle show:                           A lot of people are saying the best part of Disney is to stay at the Magic Kingdom after it closes. When they close the park, hang out a bit longer. There will be an amazing light show in the castle, accompanied by “When you wish upon a star”. Everyone is saying it’s wonderful. You also end up beating the crowds this way.

 

 

When you first enter Disney World's Magic Kingdom, walk under the train station where the lockers are. Facing Cinderella Castle, look for a door on the right just before you exit from under the station. Open this door and get a look at the Mural on the wall. It was painted when I worked there. The outline was projected on the wall using an overhead and traced, and then it was colored in. This room is where the Train engineers and Main Street cast meet and take breaks. They will ask you if you were looking for something, so just tell them the restroom or something. We had 10-20 people a day walk into this room.

During a parade, windows open and close automatically on the second-level buildings to reveal speakers which are synchronized with the floats.

When I was being trained on Big Thunder Railroad, the lead shared a very funny fact with me. When your train is going up the 2nd lift,(in actual terms, "B-lift"), and you pass the goat with the stick of dynamite in its' mouth, look to your left and toward the bottom as you almost complete the turn and you will see a giant set of human toes carved into the rock formation. You'll need to sit in the first seat to get a really good look at it because the train is going too fast otherwise. One of the men working on the construction before the attraction was opened actually broke his toe while on the job and carved an unbelievable likeness of his two toes sticking out of a cast. Pretty funny

 

To achieve a high score on the Buzz Lightyear Space Rangers Spin Ride, here are a couple of hidden targets. As you leave the first shooting area, there is a "Z" target on the ceiling above you, if you hit the target directly in the center with the laser, you get 100,000 points per hit. There is also a hidden target on the wall in the room that shows you the wall video of the flying Zurg ship. You can only see it for a split second while the Zurg ship is stopped and just before it gets destroyed. This is the most challenging one to find and hitting the targe (Not Enclosed in a "Z") also gives high bonus points, but I don't know how much since you really have to concentrate on the wall.

There's an invisible hidden Mickey. (I know...sounds ridiculous, but true!) On the ride, you go through a round-ish doorway. Turn your car completely around and imagine there's a 3-circle Mickey head. Shoot at where the right ear would be, and if you hit the target (you can actually see a white circle) you get 1 million points!
UPDATE

 

  1.  
    1. Hold down on the fire button. Your gun will fire contiuously this way (one shot per second).
    2. It is not necessary to hit the target in the middle. Anywhere on the surface of the target will do.
    3. The harder the target is to hit, the more points you will get. (targets further from the track are generally worth more points).
    4. If you find a high point target, hit it multiple times.
    5. In the projection room there are two targets. Each are worth 25,000 points. They are not marked as a "z" target. Look hard on the wall for a black dot where Zurg's ship stops from time to time. Hit within 6 inches of that dot and you score.
    6. Practice, practice, practice.
    7. If you loose track of which red dot is yours. Fire at an area that does not have a target near it so you can find which shot is yours. Slowly move your gun back to a target while firing constantly so you can keep an eye on which shot is yours.

There is a garbage can in the cafeteria adjacent to the Grand Prix raceway that is "alive". When a guest throws their food scraps away, the garbage can makes chewing noises and smacks its lips.
