There are many secrets about Disneyland that most people do not know. I have chosen 30 to share with you for your next trip to Disney's magical theme park.

Since the overwhelming response to the poll asking whether people wanted to read more secrets was "yes," I have also written a second article about the many secrets of Disneyland called 20 More Disneyland Secrets You Don't Know. Check it out!

Secret Places and Facts About Disneyland

1. Walt Disney Had an Apartment Above the Fire Station on Main Street

When the park was being built, Walt was so busy traveling between Burbank and Disneyland's construction site he had an apartment built, so he could keep an eye on the progress. He would always turn a light on in front of his window so that workers would know when he was in the park. You can see the window of the apartment from the street.

Bonus Secret

You will notice the light in the window of Walt's apartment is still on today in remembrance of Walt Disney. The only time the light is turned off is when his daughters are in the park; this is out of respect.

2. There Are Special Window Dedications in the Storefronts on Main Street

The names in the windows are given as credits to the people who contributed to the parks. Some are characters or stories. They typically appear as a fictional business name and/or refer to a hobby/device made by that person. For example: Walt Disney's window is located at the Main Street Cinema, and it is labeled Disneyland Casting Agency.

Bonus Secret

There are three requirements for receiving a window dedication:

1. It can only be dedicated after the employee's reaching retirement.

2. It can only be awarded to recognize the highest level of service, respect, and achievement.

3. The decision to dedicate the window must be agreed upon between both top individual park management and Walt Disney Imagineering.

3. Steve Martin Used to Work at the Magic Shop

Steve Martin started out selling guidebooks at Disneyland on the weekend. During his free time there, he would visit the Magic Shop. By August 1960, he was working in the Magic Shop showing off all of the tricks he had learned over the years.

4. The Disneyland Railroad Has a Very Special Car

The Lilly Belle Pullman Car is used to give VIP guests a private tour of the park. It is furnished with antiques and has stained glass windows. Every once in a while, tickets to ride this special car are given to park visitors.

5. Test Bricks on Main Street

There is a brick wall in Main Street that has bricks on it the do not match in size or shape. These are actually the bricks Walt used to figure out what size and shape he wanted the bricks to be in the park. This wall is located behind a water fountain next to the lockers.

6. Main Street Was Modeled After a Real Town

Main Street USA was designed after Marceline, Missouri, where Walt Disney grew up. He wanted to share his fond childhood memories with his guests.

Bonus Secret

Main Street also utilizes Air Smellitizers! These patented machines wonderful smells of food and candy through vents out into the crowd of people walking along Main Street! During most of the year, Main Street uses the scent of vanilla and the delicious smell of candy, but during Christmas it is changed to peppermint! These machines are also located in other parts of the park, creating a salty sea breeze near Pirates of the Caribbean and a honeyed aroma near Pooh's Adventure.

7. Main Street is Built in a Forced Perspective

Main Street is built in a forced perspective, so if you are walking toward the castle, it doesn't seem very far away. However, when you are exiting the park, Main Street will look longer. Also, the buildings are designed to look bigger than they actually are!

8. Disneyland's Address Is Code for "Mickey Mouse"

Disneyland's address is 1313 Disneyland Dr. , Anaheim. The 13th letter of the alphabet is the letter "M." The address spells "MM" for Mickey Mouse.

9. You Can See the Wheelhouse of the Mark Twain Riverboat and Meet the Captain

You can, in fact, view the wheelhouse at the top of the ship! You need to know a specific phrase to ask in order to do this, but half the fun is figuring out the passphrase, so I won't write it here. Politely ask various cast members, and one of them may give you instructions on what to do. If you are deemed worthy, you may even be shown how the ship is driven and allowed to steer! You also get to see some pictures of Walt Disney on the Mark Twain and the place where he liked to nap the most!

10. The Park Releases Feral Cats at Night to Catch the Mice

At night, 200 feral cats are released to catch the mice in the park. During the day, they rest in well-hidden "cat houses," but don't be surprised if you see some cats walking around during the day.

11. There Is a Very Special Gold Spike in Fantasyland

Right outside the gates of Fantasyland, you will notice a gold stake in the ground. Most people believe that this represents the original center of Disneyland but it actually is a survey marker. It was used to ensure that Main Street was centered with the castle.

12. The Disney Family Crest Is Above the Gates of Sleeping Beauty's Castle

The crest, which features three lions in a shield framed by plumage with another lion standing above, was added in 1960. It is located directly above the entrance to the drawbridge of Sleeping Beauty's Castle.

13. The Castle Drawbridge Is Real

It has only ever been lifted twice in its existence. The first time was on the park's opening day, and the second time was in the 1980s, when Fantasyland was being refurbished.

14. There Is Something Special About the Brass Apple Outside Snow White's Scary Adventure

If you rub the brass apple located in line for the ride, you will hear a clap of thunder, and the witch will start to cackle loudly.

Bonus Secret

If you watch the window above the ride, you can see the Evil Queen looking out every so often.

15. The Dream Suite Is Located Directly Above Pirates of the Caribbean

This luxury apartment was meant to entertain VIP guest during special events. Dorothe Redmund (famous for Gone With the Wind) helped design the layout, and Walt's wife helped decorate it. It includes a living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-air patio. Park guests are randomly selected to stay inside the suite.

Bonus Secret

From 1987 to 2007, the suite was turned into the Disney Gallery. At the end of 2007, it was turned back into the Dream Suite for guests to stay in.

16. Disneyland Created Its Own Shade of Green

Noseeum green is a very specific color that Disney Imagineers created. All of the buildings and unattractive things such as trash cans are painted in this color so that they're less noticeable. Noseeum is supposed to be the most unobtrusive shade of the spectrum and is meant to disappear into the background.

Bonus Secret

Many people bring paint swatches to Disneyland and try to match the green for their homes.

17. Club 33 Is Located Right Next to the Blue Bayou

The inconspicuous door is painted noseeum green to keep the location more secretive. As you leave the Blue Bayou, you can see the entrance to Club 33, an exclusive members-only club with a five-star restaurant and bar, to your left. There is a passcode box located near the door.

Club 33 is the only place in Disneyland where alcohol is served, and it is also famous for its décor. The club is filled with memorabilia from the Disney Archives, and the elevator is an exact replica of one that Disney saw in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Bonus Secret

Club 33 members also receive complimentary valet parking and can ride the Lilly Belle.

18. The Tiki Room Was Originally Going to Be a Restaurant

Since it was supposed to be a restaurant, there are bathrooms attached to this attraction (the only one in the park).

19. There Is a Bullethole in the Glass of the Haunted Mansion

In the Grand Ballroom, you will see a gigantic spider web. If you look closely, you can see a bullet hole in the glass paneling. It is said that either a child with a BB gun or slingshot made the hole or a man with a shotgun created it when he thought he saw something strange. Either way the hole could not be repaired, and the glass was too expensive to replace, so it was covered with a spider web.

20. The Organ in the Haunted Mansion Is from a Movie.

The organ inside the Haunted Mansion is the same one seen inside the submarine Nautilus in the movie 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea! In the video above, you can see it being played.

21. The Tombstones Located in the Haunted Mansion Are for Real People

The graveyard features faces of a few of the early Imagineers of Disneyland. Inside jokes also riddle the inscriptions of the tombstones.

22. There Are Hidden Characters inside the Winnie the Pooh Ride

This Winnie the Pooh ride was built on the location where the Country Bear Jamboree was once. However, three of the characters from the old ride still remain! Toward the exit of the ride, if you look behind you, Max, Buff, and Melvin are visibile hiding in the ride! You must be in the first row to see them—they will appear as you're leaving the room with the Heffalumps.

23. Splash Mountain Used to Be Called "Flash" Mountain

Many people have been known to flash the camera inside of Splash Mountain. This is why people's pictures are sometimes unavailable for viewing—if anything naughty is done for the camera, it is automatically pulled so that no one can see it. There used to be cast members who would manually do this, but now there is a computer system that does all the hard work for them!

Bonus Secret

The top of Splash Mountain is called Chikapin Hill.

24. Indiana Jones Used to Be a Parking Lot

So this may not be a huge secret because obviously the park had to use space to expand. But what most people don't know is that there's a tribute that parking lot inside the line of the ride. Inside the screening room, if you look back at the projector, you will notice an Eyeore sign. This is here because where Indiana Jones sits used to be the Eeyore parking lot.

25. The Indiana Jones Line Has a Few Fun, Interactive Features

Once you are inside the temple and have made it through the caves, there is a part of the line that looks like a bridge. Overhead there will be spikes in the ceiling, and certain bricks on the ground will have a diamond insignia carved into them. As you walk through, you will notice that on your left there is a peculiar-looking, slightly curved bamboo post. If you pull on this post, something will happen! You will hear a loud noise, and the ceiling will drop just a little bit! As the line moves on, you will come to an open room that has a big obelisk in the middle. As you walk around it, you will notice a sign that says "Do not pull rope." Pull on it! You will hear the "person" inside say something to you!

Bonus Secret

Throughout the entire line there are messages written on the walls in Mara. You can get a decoder card and translate all the messages while you stand in line!

• Disney's Mara Decoder Card Download
  Here you can download the key to decoding the messages along the walls of the Indiana Jones line. A PDF and JPG option are available.

26. The Matterhorn Has a Basketball Court Inside

Inside the Matterhorn, there is a quarter of a basketball court. Walt Disney did not like to waste any space, so he asked the Matterhorn climbers what they would like inside, and they voted for a basketball court! Later on, a ping pong table was added as well. Employees are allowed to take their breaks there and have some fun!

Bonus Secret

The bobsleds use the bottom 80 feet inside the mountain. The top 67 feet are not part of the attraction. The mountain is a total of 147 feet tall!

27. Main Street and Tomorrowland Are Set in Two Very Special Years

Main Street is set in 1910 and Tomorrowland is set in 1986. These years were both years when Haley's Comet could be seen from Earth.

28. Disneyland Has an Underground System

There are several tunnels underneath Disneyland for the purpose of taking out the trash and deliveries. The tunnels are not extensive and do not connect.

29. George Lucas Makes a Special Appearance in Star Tours

At the end of the Star Tours ride, right when you are about to crash into a fuel truck, there is a man who ducks and picks up a phone. That man is George Lucas!

Bonus Secret

George Lucas filmed this specially for the ride.

30. No Facial Hair Allowed

When Walt Disney opened the park, he would not allow cast members to have facial hair to distinguish Disneyland from the sleazy carnivals of the time. After 60 years, this rule has been removed, but there are still no cast members with dwarf-length beards!

Want to go further into the many secrets of Disneyland? I learned these secrets just from talking to cast members over the years and friends who have gone a lot—which is exactly what David Koenig did in Mouse Tales and More Mouse Tales. When he became friends with a bunch of Disney workers, he learned a lot of secrets he would never have suspected and thought that readers would be interested in learning about them too. He can explain what it's like to wear a costume and why Disneyland thought it was such a great idea to bring in feral cats! Check out these books!

Laura J Flynn from CorpuS Christi, Texas - Originally from California (hoping to return soon) on July 03, 2018:

Going back to the post for hotel advice and about the hotel right across the street, were you talking about the Park Vue Inn? That place is great!!!

anna on December 20, 2017:

are all of these real?

Brookisha on June 18, 2017:

There are several facts that are wrong, for example the gold spike is the center of MAINSTREET not Disneyland itself. At least someone actually said the Matterhorn had a half court not a full court lol. Good article though, but I already knew all of these facts.

hello on February 07, 2017:

good for my project

Tavia Burden from Washington, D.C. on July 16, 2016:

Great article! I feel like I generally know a lot of these, but some of them really surprised me (like the VIP train car and the test brick wall). I'm definitely a fan of your writing now! Can't wait to read more from you!

Sarahi99111 on May 15, 2016:

Hi Rabadi!

I hope you get to go soon as well and thank you for the follow! =)

O from New York on October 18, 2015:

I've always wanted to go to DisneyLand with or without kids but hoping sooner or later I get married and have children so we could get to experience the magic together. Great Hub I am now following you!

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on October 08, 2015:

Hi Haley!

Halloween is my FAVORITE time of year to go! I definitely recommend doing the Haunted Mansion because it is Nightmare Before Christmas themed and checking out the Thunderland Ranch located behind Big Thunder Mountain and next to Fantasyland. Definately utilize the Fastpasses to get the most out of your day. I also want to let you know that on certain days they have the Halloween party so you might want to look at their event calendar before you go because they will close the park down early on those days. There are a lot of hotels around the area, there is a really convenient one right across from the park. You could walk to Disneyland from it. Make sure you get a first visit button from someone who works there (they are free)! Let me know if you have any more questions =)

Haley on October 07, 2015:

Hey!! So I am taking my kids to disney land.. This will all be are first time.. Do you have any tips on passes or places to stay? We are going during Halloween.. Last minute trip! ha

Troyangeluk from UK on October 01, 2015:

I really enjoyed this read, haven't been to disneyland in 10 years but might be going this year so seeing great information and pictures like these is great :).

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on September 16, 2015:

Hello Jalya!

I can't guarantee that by telling you the phrase that you will get to go up in the wheelhouse but you must ask the first cast member you see at the dock if you can please view the wheelhouse. If selected you will be given specific instructions to follow. Good luck!

Jaiya on September 15, 2015:

I know you said you didn't want to but I'm going to Disney land and it would be amazing if you could tell me the pass phrase to get on the boat. Im really awkward so asking if kinda bad... I mean i could just get my younger sister to do it but it would be amazing if you could tell me before Friday this week. xxx Jaiya.

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on August 08, 2015:

Hi Nadine,

Actually; I know the person who did some of the paving for Disneyland's underground system and I have seen it with my own eyes. Thanks for commenting.

Nadine on August 08, 2015:

Disneyland does not have an underground system. If you research it, that's WDW that has one. Your video even says Disney World.

Hazel Abee from Malaysia on June 07, 2015:

Susan Trump from San Diego, California on April 05, 2015:

Loved it! I started there from the first year. It was a fabulous place. The day I got to see Walt was heaven. I knew as a youngster that I was in the presence of greatness. It was good to hear his voice again.

Beverly Werner from Catasauqua on February 19, 2015:

I didn't know - that was fun to read!!!

Tami Rogers from Seattle, Washington on February 19, 2015:

Tami Rogers from Seattle, Washington on February 19, 2015:

This is amazing--my daughters, now 20 and 21, LOVE Disneyland and we go whenever we can! (We live in Seattle so not too far?) I am sharing this with them! Thanks!

Hi JPac1!

I am there about three times a month. Usually I'm there twice just to take pictures and fact check my articles and once for a real trip (with friends and rides). Thanks for commenting!

James Packard from Columbia, Missouri on February 06, 2015:

What a fun hub! thanks for sharing, Lyndsay! How often are you at the park?

Blackspaniel1 on January 29, 2015:

I had heard of some of these, but certainly few compared to what is here. Some have been on TV.

Courtney Rhodes on January 25, 2015:

I haven't been to Disneyland since 1984 and had forgotten most of it. My favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean.

I do distinctly remember being really tired leaving the park and thinking it would take forever to pass the castle! thank you for sharing, hopefully I'll get the chance to go back.

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on November 22, 2014:

Hi Emilia Riera!

I am glad that you were able to learn something new! Thanks for commenting.

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on September 10, 2014:

Hello Amanda Tigar!

It's not just the phrase but you have to get there early and hope for a nice conductor because they don't always do it. But you ask to "view the wheelhouse please". :-) it was so much fun!!!

Amanda Tigar on September 10, 2014:

So interesting you got to drive the Mark Twain Boat!!! Sounds like something i would like to do... any specific phrase I should say? :)

Tommy Newcomb from OFallon, MO on August 05, 2014:

I am tired--been a long day. Talk to you soon.

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on July 16, 2014:

Hi Kenneth!

I am doing very well! How are you? Thanks for the lovely comment! :-)

Hi, Lindsay!

How are you? I hope you are fine, happy, and doing well. I still think that you are a very talented writer. Just keep up the great work.

:)

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on July 16, 2014:

Hi Charles!

Thanks! It is really fun looking for everything and I hope you get the chance to do so!

Mr Sodiji Olasile from Lagos, Nigeria on July 09, 2014:

Wish to visit this place by God's grace

Hezekiah from Japan on June 27, 2014:

Very nice information there, lot's of things we never knew. What about in China, they attempted a fake one some years back, that was just embarrassing. Hong Kong has a good real one though. I like the one here in Japan too, Disney land & Disney sea.

Kenneth Avery on June 26, 2014:

Hi, Lyndsay!

Your turn.

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on June 26, 2014:

Hi Kenneth Avery!

Haha thanks!

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on June 26, 2014:

Hello velzipmur!

Thanks so much!

Shelly Wyatt from Maryland on June 24, 2014:

love it! Great job on this article.

Deborah on June 21, 2014:

Between this and the Hidden Mickeys my anticipation for the next visit is high! In the '60s they wouldn't let men/boys in the park with long hair, either. They wouldn't let our group in because of that so we walked to the D'land Hotel's sundries shop, bought scissors, adhesive tape and gauze bandaging, and wrapped the offender's head to hide his long hair. We also rented a wheelchair for him and they let us right in. Good times!

Kenneth Avery from Hamilton, Alabama on June 18, 2014:

Lyndsay . . .true, that your hubs are interesting, but in modern "hipster" slang, your hubs are all a "morning win."

LOL.

Keep 'em coming, my good writer friend.

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on June 18, 2014:

Hello jlpark!

Disneyland is super fun and I hope you go one day and enjoy it!

Upvote!

Jacqui from New Zealand on June 14, 2014:

I've never been, but they are very interesting facts - I will have to remember this hub for future reference!

Kenneth Avery from Hamilton, Alabama on May 23, 2014:

Hi, Lyndsay,

Hey, your work IS much-appreciated. I told the truth to you. I like to say that there are only two things in life I do not waste:

1. Time

2. Words

So the words I tell you are sincere. You are a very good writer. This Disneyland work proves it.

And I will send you a personal note of thanks in a few days for the Very-Appreciated Follow.

Thanks.

Kenneth

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on May 23, 2014:

Hi Gina!

I am glad you enjoyed my Hub. The secret phrase is you have to be one of the first people there and ask the first castmember you see if you "can please view the wheelhouse". They don't always let you go up, you have to be deemed worthy by them!

Hello kenneth avery!

Thanks so much! It really means a lot to know that my work is appreciated!

Kenneth Avery from Hamilton, Alabama on May 23, 2014:

Hi, Lyndsay,

Wow, what a great read. Informative, useful and I voted up and all the rest. I am in awe of how much time and research it took you to do this hub. Simply in awe.

Steve Martin? That got me. I love him.

I cordially invite you to check out a few of my hubs and then be one of my followers.

I would love that.

Kenneth/ from northwest Alabama

Gina on May 13, 2014:

Hi!! Great article! Going to Disneyland this weekend for my friends birthday & can't wait to do some of these... But I gotta know... What's the secret phrase to say in order to steer the Riverboat!?

Tatiana from Florida on January 25, 2014:

Great read! So cool to read about the window of Walt's apartment! I love knowing cool little facts like that! Voted up!

Mona Sabalones Gonzalez from Philippines on January 18, 2014:

Interesting! Disneyland is even more detailed than I imagined. Too bad the Toy Story characters don't lie down anymore when you shout "Andy's coming." Disneyland has an awesome sense of fun.

JasonCulley from Cheyenne, WY on December 25, 2013:

Great hub. Knew them all except for #5 (Test bricks in Main Street).

jean on December 06, 2013:

They had to stop doing " andy' s coming" for a variety of reasons. It was causing too many problems. They will still gladly pose for pictures as long as needed.

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on December 02, 2013:

Hi Rae Savior!

I am glad you enjoyed it! Have fun looking at all the secrets in person!

Rae Saylor from Australia on December 02, 2013:

You, ma'am, just made my future trip to Disneyland more exciting! Thanks heaps for writing this hub -- such a delight to read :) Voted up.

socalsue on November 07, 2013:

I went the first year opened. Love Christmas time. The best! Thanks for Secret info. Well join this with my grand daughters. It will make it fun for me and them.

Jennifer on November 07, 2013:

The Toy Story characters don't lie down anymore. =( When you say "And's Coming!" they say "He's at college!" I guess they say it was happening too frequently. Maybe try it on a slow day.

Lyndsay Gamber (author) from California on October 07, 2013:

Hello SamitaJassi!

It was my pleasure! Thank you so much for commenting!
