Over the past couple years on this channel, we’ve spoken heavily about theme park secrets

at Walt Disney World but now it's about time to dive deeper into Disneyland.

I mean it was the very first Disney theme park and there’s so many little details

that go unnoticed!

Now we already have a few videos dedicated solely to Disneyland secrets so if you haven’t

seen those yet, they’re all in the card on the right-hand side.

Earlier in the year we posted a video just talking about general hidden secrets at Walt

Disney World, and a lot of you requested that same style of video but for Disneyland.

So get ready to explore the original Disney theme park as we count down the Top 7 Hidden

Secrets at Disneyland!

Number 7 Main street USA is the gateway to many magical

lands at Disneyland but if you run right down the middle of main street USA to get to that

next attraction you’re probably missing some little hidden details along the way.

Right in the center of town square sits a flagpole that soars 65 feet over the park,

but have you ever noticed that the base of the flagpole has this fancy design?

Now the man responsible for dressing Main Street with the appropriate props and fixtures

was Imagineer Emile Kuri.

On a window above the Market House, his name can be found credited as the Interior decorator.

Well, the base of the town square flagpole was actually acquired by Emile and had a previous

life on a street in Los Angeles.

One day after work, Mr. Kuri was driving through Los Angeles on his way home, when he saw a

light post on Wilshire Blvd that had been knocked down by a car.

He thought it could fit in with the look of Main Street so he purchased the base of the

light post for 5 dollars.

He brought it back to Disneyland, and to this day, that light post has remained the base

of the Town Square flagpole ever since.

Number 6 The King Arthur Carousel has 72 majestic white

horses that gallop and spin around Fantasyland.

All these antique wooden horses look like a uniform team but each is unique and there’s

one horse in particular that's especially unique.

Jingles, who got its name from the bells that hang off the saddle, can be found on the outside

ring and is the lead horse on the Carousel.

It just happened to be Mrs. Disney’s favorite horse.

In Saving Mr. Banks, Walt Disney offers Jingles to PL Travers and this gives you a clearer

idea of what the horse originally looked like.

For Disneyland’s 50th anniversary Julie Andrews, who played the iconic Mary Poppins

was the theme park ambassador for the 50th.

So after the celebration ended, they dedicate Jingles to Disney legend Julie Andrews on

April 8th 2008.

She was asked what her favorite colors were and Imagineers painted the horse accordingly.

Now that Jingles is dedicated to Julie Andrews there are some hidden tributes to her and

Mary Poppins on the horse.

First off there’s a blue Umbrella on the saddle blanket, then on the crest, you have

the J and A for Julie Andrews, there’s a pair of Mary Poppins boots with a bird, and

there’s the classic silhouette of Mary Poppins flying with her umbrella.

So the next time you’re choosing a horse on the King Arthur Carousel, keep an eye out

for Jingles who holds a lot of significance in Disney history.

Number 5 Everyone loves a good gag, right?

Well in Mickey’s Toontown there’s a bunch of gags hidden right in front of your eyes,

you just need to explore the land really carefully.

Any handle you can pull, door knob you can grab, or button you can push will definitely

give you a little surprise.

Now we aren’t gonna spoil all of them but here are just two of my favorites.

Near the back, you’ll find the Powerhouse where the sign on the door says “Opening

this door is absolutely, positively, and unquestionably forbidden.

Well in true Disney fashion anything that tells you to not do something means they want

you to do that thing.

So if you go and pull the doorknob, you’ll be in for a little surprise.

This one’s especially great when you tell someone who doesn’t know what happens to

go and pull that doorknob.

It always makes for some great reactions.

Across from the gag factory, you’ll find this phone that will connect you with the

police department of Toon Town.

If you pick it up, you’ll get to eavesdrop on some conversations with some pretty familiar

voices.

{Police Voice} Be on the lookout for Roger Rabbit.

Over

Roger!

That’s right, Roger!

Roger!

{Roger Rabbit} This is Roger, did somebody call me?

Over!

{Police} Nobody called you over.

{Roger Rabbit} I know nobody called me over, be somebody called me Roger.

{Police} Roger

{Roger Rabbit} See I told ya so!

Number 4 Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden

Eye has probably one of the best queues at Disneyland.

So much detail and theming has gone into the entire queue experience that stretches about

half a mile until you reach the loading area; its a pretty far walk.

It was anticipated that this ride would be extremely popular so Imagineers actually built

many interactive elements into the queue to keep you entertained while you wait.

One of them can be found in the room with the excavation site.

You’ll find a sign that reads “Caution, do not pull rope,” but remember this is

Disney and they want you to pull the rope.

You’ll hear a little surprise

{Voice} Careful.

We’re excavating an artifact down here.

You may have also walked through the queue and noticed some hieroglyphics written on

the walls.

Well, Imagineers actually made up their own hieroglyphic language called maraglyphics.

You never wanna stare into the eyes of Mara, but if you stare at the messages on the wall

they do provide a back story for the attraction…well that’s if you can figure out what they mean.

When Indiana Jones Adventure first opened, they actually used to hand out these decoder

cards which would allow you to decode the messages engraved on the walls.

Apparently, Disney officially discontinued these cards in the late 90s only a few years

after the ride opened, but sometimes if you ask the right Cast Member, they will still

have a card they can give you.

If you encounter a cast member who doesn’t have a card, you can always just screenshot

this image here and use it next time you walk through the queue.

You’ll be able to decode a message like this on the wall.

You’ll find out it reads, “Mara Shall Guide You Through the Doorway of Your Most

Secret Desire in the Chamber of Destiny.”

When you know which symbols are which letters, you’ll realize that many of them look like

their corresponding letter.

Decoding these hidden messages along the queue are a fun little way to pass time while you

wait in line on Indiana Jones Adventure.

Number 3 Next, we’ll head back to Main Street USA.

Telling the stories of beloved Disney movies through the display windows of the Emporium

have always been a Disneyland tradition, but for the Diamond celebration in 2015, they

debuted the enchanted window displays which added some hidden magic to Main Street.

Now when you walk by, you might see one specific scene like Aladdin reaching for the magic

lamp.

It may just look like that’s all this window is but if you stick around and watch the entire

segment, the scene transforms by introducing the Genie then places the action into the

cave of wonders with all the gold and jewels.

These windows displays are quite magical and there’s 6 different films represented- theres

Frozen, Aladdin, Peter Pan, Princess and the Frog, Cinderella and Toy Story.

Each of them transforms and contains many little-hidden details to spot; you can easily

spend a half an hour watching them all.

One of the most magical windows is Cinderella where you see the Fairy Godmother turning

Cinderella’s rags into a beautiful ball gown.

Now the vast majority of people probably wouldn’t think to stop and look at what would usually

be generic gift shop windows but these are truly hidden gems.

Next time you find yourself on Main Street USA, make sure to take some extra time to

absorb all the Disney magic hidden right outside the Emporium.

Number 2 Around Sleeping Beauty castle you can find

Snow White’s grotto tucked away in this quiet little path off the hub.

Its a really relaxing spot to visit while you’re at Disneyland and it just happens

to be full of many hidden details.

Snow White’s Grotto was added in 1961 but have you ever noticed an issue with the scale

of these figures?

Well here’s a little secret- the Snow White figure is the same height as the other 7 Dwarfs;

that's right!

These marbles figures from Italy were a gift to Walt Disney and he wanted to use them in

the theme park.

He gave Imagineer John Hench the task of figuring out how to make these figures work in a display.

By creating a multi-level scene, playing with distance and height, Hench placed Snow White

on the top of the hill with the other figures below her.

This allows forced perspective to trick your mind into thinking she’s smaller than the

dwarfs because she’s higher up, but really they’re all the exact same height.

Now as you’re walking through Snow White’s Grotto, you may have been lucky enough to

see and hear this area come to life.

Numerous fountains begin spraying water, you’ll hear the sounds of birds chirping and hear

the song I’m Wishing from Snow White plays.

In the movie, Snow White sings the song into the wishing well which echoes back at her.

During this little fountain surprise at Disneyland, if you listen closely into the wishing well

directly across from the grotto, you’ll also hear Snow White’s Echo during the song.

{Snow White} To find me.

To find me.

Today.

Today.

Today.

Number 1 On February 24th, 2017 the Village Haus restaurant

in Fantasyland was transformed into the Red Rose Taverne.

The quick-service restaurant used to be themed to Pinocchio but is now themed to Beauty and

the Beast.

When you think of Beauty and the Beast the 1991 animated film probably comes to mind.

With this specific re-theme, it was actually done to coincide with the release of the 2017

live-action film, but the restaurant does incorporate elements from both the animated

and live action films.

Familiar characters like Belle, Lumiere, and Cogsworth can be found on the walls.

The enchanted objects from the animated film are what we’ve become used to identifying

these characters as but in the live action film, they all have a very different look.

Well Imagineers used these live-action characters as props and they’re all hidden in the restaurant,

you just need to take a look up to find them.

This credenza is home to many plates and cups but sitting on top you’ll find Mrs. Potts

and Chip.

The facial features of the live action characters are so subtle that if you don’t take a really

close look, you’d never know that these items were these characters.

The same goes for the other characters.

At the front of the restaurant by these windows, Lumiere is hanging out on the top of this

shelf with his fellow candlesticks.

His eyes and mouth are so subtly designed into the character where not only is it tough

to see them in the restaurant but it’s also hard to see them in the actual movie.

Lastly, on a display ledge you’ll find a collection of clocks and on the far right

sits Cogsworth looking rather tense.

Now if you haven’t noticed by now, each of the figures has a frame placed behind them

to help identify these characters.

Because they all look like regular household items they are very easy to miss.

But now that you know they’re in here, make sure to stop into the Red Rose Taverne to

say hi to these enchanted objects from Beauty and the Beast.
