11 Disneyland secrets, revealed
10. There's an abandoned mine shaft in Frontierland
This was used as an actual residence of Walt and his family when they wanted to crash at the park, complete with a changing room, a front room with fold-out couches, a bathroom, a kitchen, and an outside lounge.
And until 1977, it was actually in service as part of the Rainbow Caverns Mine Train, a cargo-car train that would take you on a quarter-mile journey through the Frontierland wilderness and into an only-accessible-by-train cave with black lights, neon-colored waterfalls, and glowing pools of luminescent water.
11. Sleeping Beauty Castle's drawbridge actually works
It's been raised twice: once on Opening Day, and again for a rededication in 1983.

ReplyThis is all VERY well known trivia. What did you do, go on the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour and decide to make yourself look like the OG of Disney?
They have now completely removed the working drawbridge. Sorry.
ReplySecret apartment? Any diehard fan knows about Walts apartment, and the fire pole from the apartment into the Fire Station. (now closed up) And knows that the lamp in the window is always lit, to remind of of Walts presence.
