When it opened in 1967, Pirates of the Caribbean used real human skeletons as props. “Because the original imagineering team felt that the faux skeletons of the period were just too unconvincing, the grotto sequence originally featured real human remains obtained from the UCLA Medical Center. The skeletons were later returned to their countries of origin and given a proper burial.” All but one ☠️ #disneylandsecrets #disneylandpark #piratesofthecaribbean #neworleanssquare #disneylandattractions #disneyland (at Disneyland - Theme Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw8IVn4nPno/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jvtgoxxsor69

You might know that the design for Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa was inspired by the late 1800s and early 1900s Arts and Crafts Movement, but you might not have known that the movement has been incorporated into the tiniest details at the hotel.

All of the railings surrounding the second-floor balconies of New Orleans Square that are visible to guests, but not accessible to them, are made of rubber instead of cast iron, because rubber does not rust and has a better chance of weathering the elements. #neworleanssquaredisneyland #disneylandsecrets #disneyland #disneylandresort #disneylandcalifornia #disneylandanaheim (at Disneyland - Theme Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WgmBzgvs-/?igshid=g1t8j4krhwf5

Walt is wearing two wedding rings. The conventional one (obscured by Mickey’s glove) on his left ring finger, and an Irish “Claddagh” ring on his right ring finger. He and Lillian bought the claddagh rings for one another on a trip to Ireland, and wore them every day. Some say its a Mickey Mouse Ring but take a closer look next time you go to the park. #waltdisney #disneylandhiddengem #disneylandsecrets #mainstreetusa #disneyland #disneylandresort (at Disneyland - Theme Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzmf6t1gCiZ/?igshid=58zswvhuqem4

Radiator Springs remains true to its roots as a one-traffic-light town. The light hangs right where it belongs, at the intersection of Route 66 and Cross Street, leisurely blinking its yellow caution signal.It’s also a detection device for revealing the true fans in the crowd. They’re the ones, when seeing Cars Land for the first time, who notice the signal and stop in their tracks to count the blinks. And then they smile, for just as hippy van Filmore observes in Cars, “every third blink is slower.”It’s such a small detail, but one that simply could not be left out. Without that extra hold on the third blink, it would just be an ordinary traffic signal. With the quirk, it becomes a modest little beacon letting you know that, yes, you really have arrived in Radiator Springs. #carsland #disneylandsecretsgold #disneylandsecrets #californiaadventure #disneylanddetails #disneylandcalifornia #disney #disneymovies #carsmovie #disneylandresort (at California Adventure) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bws50C2HOFT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1emk1xwwxszwd

If you look carefully in the planters between Pizza Pizza Port and Space Mountain, you will notice a few large, blue eggs among the plants. They are meant to be dinosaur eggs. A little details of your time travel on the Disneyland railroad. #disneylandsecrets #tomorrowland #disneyland #disneylandresort #disneylandcalifornia #disneylandsecretsgold (at Disneyland - Theme Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwn9FeOHpJf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d7r9lpxkpwhp

at the Refreshment Corner, Look carefully in the corner and you’ll see one of the bulbs looks a little different; it’s half red and half white. Allegedly, workers accidentally installed the lights in two different color patterns. To solve the problem, Walt suggested they use a multicolored bulb where the patterns intersected. #disneyland #disneylandresort #disneylandcalifornia #disneylandsecrets #mainstreetusa #disneylanddining https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnGvm7nGMe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=275cgg1ewml8

Off-world guests who visit the planet of Batuu may initially find some of the local vernacular to be a little confusing. The locals often like to say things like "Bright suns!" or "Till the spire!" or "May the spires keep you" as part of their everyday speech. Fortunately, a little bit of time in this world allows the customary phrases to reveal their meanings (and guests can always ask a local to explain; they'll be happy to do so!). Here are a few commonly used phrases that will help guests blend in a little better among the citizens of Black Spire Outpost! "Bright suns!" - used as a greeting during the daytime "Dim suns!" - used sparingly as a greeting around sunset "Rising moons!" - used as a greeting during the evening "Til the spire!" - used as an informal goodbye, more in the way of "see you later" "May the spires keep you!" - used as a more formal goodbye "Good journey!" - used as the most informal form of goodbye "Only the ancients know!" - used to say "I don't know" "Ignite the spark!" - used as a secret greeting among Resistance members "Light the fire!" - the appropriate response to the phrase above "On planet" - refers to anything within Batuu "Off planet" - refers to anything outside of Batuu, i.e. the rest of Disneyland The people around Batuu also refer to some commonplace nomenclature a little differently: hydrator (drinking fountain) refresher (restroom) youngling (child) data pad (smart phone / tablet) credits (cash / dollars) image scan (photograph) There are probably more that I'm forgetting, but this should give you a bit of a Cliffs Notes on how to converse around Black Spire Outpost. Until then, til the spire #galaxyedge #disneylandgalaxysedge #starwarsland #disneylandsecrets #disneyland #disneylandcalifornia (at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzegurpgyel/?igshid=1pjqz1ppm7rip
