Things No One Will Tell You That You Can Do at Disney World (But We Will)!

Sad to announce the woman in her 80’s, Aunty Kau’l, who made Lei’s at the Polynesian Resort has passed away. May she Rest In Peace and continue to make magic from above.

On Oct 1 1971, my cousin, my uncle, my aunt, and myself. we were in the first 50 people let in Disney World. Back then we got a coin from the opening, mouse ears, and a map. Me and my cousin all we were told was be back at the train station by 8pm ( Back then it was not a big deal. they took our pictures and our names. Any time I go back the pictures are taken again. Apparently they are seeing how many of the original people from opening day return. Been back every 10 yrs for the anniversaries.

When I was around 5 or 6 in Jedi training academy, right when I saw Darth Vader (My favorite character in Disney) I passed out from shock and woke up in the hotel room with a note talking about what happened and I had gotten a refund because I wasn’t even able to participate because of “Medical Reasons” and also gave me a picture of Darth Vader signed by him. Best day of my life.

One day we were in Magic Kingdom, when everyone was leaving, my gf and I decided to stay a few minutes more and take pictures. A disney cast member approached us and gave us two blue bands to stay at the park and participate in the 25th anniversary of disney vacation club, a private party. We ride a lot of rides, had unlimited disney ice cream, chips, beverages, meet with rare characters and a special fireworks show. Like I'm not from US and just go to disney once in a while. It was a truly magical moment we will never forget

When my step dad was little, he got to pull the Sword from the Stone. He got a little medal and a certificate saying he was ruler of the realm for the day.

last time we went to disney, my sister was having a down day. the sword in the stone show was about to start, so we decided to stay and watch. they picked my dad to try, but failed. they picked another father, and he failed as well. then they picked my sister, and she got it! my mom, dad, brother, and i were so happy when she got it! she was happy for the rest of the day! :)

I didn't know you could get pixie dusted at Castle Couture, but I was at the Magic Kingdom during extra magic hours on my birthday and my family and I decided to stop inside Castle Couture really quickly before the park closed. I was wearing a birthday button and the employees got all excited and asked if I wanted to be sprinkled with pixie dust. I didn't know they were going to sprinkle actual glitter all over myself, but the little ceremony was really cute. They told me to close my eyes and make a wish and when I opened my eyes, my family was laughing because I was covered in glitter. It was a really magical moment despite constantly finding glitter everywhere in our hotel room lol

Early morning when the park opens, the characters will come out for pictures and when Mickey came out, my daughter ran into his arms and he walked her down Main Street and picked a couple flowers for her and put them in her hair! It was so awesome I'll never forget that! Disney is my favorite!

I remember Stitch melting when a little 5 year old did a perfect impression of him.

i love how everyone is telling their stories in the comments its so cute

I have done jedi training academy 3 times. When I was 6 I fought Darth maul, 9 when I fought Darth Vader and 11 when I fought seventh sister. It was very creepy when seventh sister said to me "so you must be that talented young jedi I have heard so much about" I did tell a cast member when signing up but that's Disney magic for you...

When I was a kid, I went to the Jedi training academy. I ended up breaking my lightsaber. I was scared I couldn’t defend myself so I just ran away from Darth Vader...

My wife and I ran around the Magic Kingdom one morning with me in a suit and her in her wedding gown. We were on a mission to get pictures using the Magic Maker in spots all over. We got some great shots and were about to head out when we ran by the carousel. I grabbed my wife and sent her to try the sword, something she'd never heard of and, lo and behold, she actually pulled it up without expecting to. I got the look of shock on her face captured on camera. It was truly magical.

When I was little, my brother got chosen to preform in a rock and roll show in Hollywood studio. He got a little inflatable guitar and he pretended to play it then slammed it on on the ground.

In Hollywood Studios there’s a little square in the street (I forgot where exactly I think it’s on the way to sunset boulevard) Cast members stand near that square and it’s really funny because as soon as someone steps in the square, the cast members go crazy clapping and cheering but as soon as someone is out of the square they fall silent. You don’t even need to fully be in the square, just like your foot or something. It’s funny and cute

When I was young I was allowed to "drive" the Jungle Cruise boat...boy oh boy did I feel like a big deal.. I think they still do that

My family did the Flag retreat one time. My dad is a veteran so he got the flag and my sisters and I said the pledge of allegiance. It was a great experience and I will never forget it

Okay... I've got a story. When my family was having one of our most recent Disney visits, we were at the lunch pavilion when me and on of my cousins were chasing each other around the tables(remember, I was 13 chasing a 12 year old) When we looked through the gate/vine fence, we watched one of the horse drawn carriages' drivers unhooking her horse, and undoing her tail buns. Lemme just say, her tail was GORGEOUS after her buns were removed. We asked her what the horses name was, and she said it was either Trixie or Dash. I can't really remember. But then she asked if we wanted to go see her horse before she went back to the stables. We, of corse being addicted to horses, said yes. Ya know how there is that white cris-cross fence gate that is sometimes open and sometimes not? Yeah, she came around and opened it for us and we got to go see her horse, I have never felt a horse any softer than that. Disney takes VERY good care of those GORGEOUS horses. Thank you Disney!

I just want to THANK YOU for saying "OR YOUR SISTER" as the veteran! I KNOW I speak for many fellow sisters serving that I appreciate that shout out!!
