Planning a trip 🌏 to Disney can be so much fun and there are so many hidden facts out there, it's hard to tell what is true. If you are a true Disney fanatic and you think you know every single 1️⃣ thing there is to know about Disney World, take 🎬 a look 💇 below and then sound 🔊 off 📴 in the comments on 🔛 what you didn't know! ## 1. Two 2️⃣ Manhattans Can Fit into Disney World Yep, or one 1️⃣ entire San Fran. Disney itself is about 40 square ◻️ miles, so that means it is huge! Not enough to go through in one 1️⃣ day, keep that in mind. ## 2. You Paid How Much on 🔘 Opening Day? Oh yes, did you know that $3.50 was how much people 👥 paid for opening day ☀️ of Disney World? Nowadays, tickets run 👟 all the way up 👆 to a hundred, but in the beginning, it was so cheap! Also, when did it open? Anyone know? October 1st, 1971. ## 3. Dead 🔫 People's Ashes Are Everywhere No, really, they are. People 👥 have been cremated and love 💜 Disney so much that they have been spread all over. It's pretty gross when you think about it, but it's true! ## 4. It Has Only Closed 🔒 Four 4️⃣ Times And one time ⌚ was recent! It closed 🔒 in 1999 during Hurricane 🌀 Floyd, it closed 🔒 during 9/11 and it closed 🔒 in 2002 for a power ✊ failure. On 🔘 9/11, it only took about 30 minutes ⏰ to evacuate and close the parks. The last time ⌚ that it closed? In 2016 for Hurricane 🌀 Matthew. ## 5. The Cinderella Castle 🏰 is Almost Empty No, really, it is. There is a restaurant, a gift 💝 shop 🏪 and an apartment 🏢 that was designed specifically for Walt. Now, that apartment 🏢 is a hotel 🏨 room but you can barely get in there for the night 🌠 because it's always booked up. That's it! ## 6. Do You Know What EPCOT Stands for? I do! It stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, and it was originally supposed to be a living, working 💼 city 🌇 of the future. How cool 😎 is that huh? ## 7. Cast Members That's what the employees are called, not employees, cast members and Disney is the largest single-site employer in the US. ## 8. You Won't Find Pepsi There! Yep, it's true, Disney is all about Coke and Coke alone and people 🚻 consume about 50 million Cokes throughout the year. ## 9. No 👎 Straws or Cup Lids in Animal 🐤 Kingdom Disney doesn't trust that the animals won't get their paws 🐾 or mouths on 🔛 them, so they don't allow any straws or any cup lids anywhere near Animal 🐒 Kingdom. ## 10. Mickey is More Stylish Did you know that Mickey has about 250 costumes to change into, while Minnie has about 200? Who says guys can't be more fashionable? ## 11. The Camel 🐫 outside of the Magic 🙌 Carpets of Aladdin … He spits on 🔘 you! No, really, he does. The rumor is that cast members operate the camel 🐪 and decides which guests to spit on. ## 12. Can You Spot All of the Mickeys? Yep, they are hidden all over! From under the water 💧 to in the landscape, they are everywhere. ## 13. Those Aren't Stones Nope, Cinderella's castle 🏰 is actually built 💪 of fiberglass, concrete, and steel, no 🚫 stones at all! ## 14. Where's the Bathroom? Because Disney World 🌍 attracts visitors all over the world, the cast members can tell you where the bathroom 🚽 is in over 14 languages. That doesn't mean they are fluent, though. ## 15. Headhunter? Oh, yep, the Jungle Cruise 🚢 headhunter has a name and his name is Trader Sam. ## 16. The Epcot Gardens These gardens are amazing, they grow 🌱 about 30 tons of fruits and veggies 🍅 to help feed the hungry. ## 17.
