Not-So-Fresh Air
When walking around Disney World, have you ever thought about how good the food smells? It’s hard to resist the freshly baked bread or the decadent sweets. Well, it turns out it’s all an illusion. Those smells that waft around aren’t from the food.
Disney World pumps scented air out of the hallow rocks on food adjacent roads to encourage people to come in and eat the food. It’s sad that it isn’t the baking that smells so good, but at least you know where it’s coming from now!
Fake Screams
No doubt the Tower of Terror is scary, but screaming all the time scary? It turns out that those noises aren’t coming from people on the ride.
The screams heard on the ground are a recording that’s played through speakers. If you listen long enough, you’ll realize the screams sound similar. Plus, at night, everyone magically stops screaming (the recording stops), so they don’t disturb the shows that are put on. We’re not saying people don’t yell, but it’s certainly not that loud.
Second Floor
It’s so bad that one cast member (from Reddit) claimed, “a scuba instructor I had once told me that before accepting a job as ‘water Goofy’ on a Disney cruise (Goofy that hangs out in the pool). He had to agree that, in the event that he starts drowning, he is to be carried away before lifeguards remove his costume (so as not to upset the children, of course). CPR wouldn’t be performed on scene.”
Getting Fired
While walking around the park, it’s obvious that everything is meticulously maintained. There’s no graffiti, chipped paint, or any scratches. It’s almost as if the park is untouchable! The real secret is a little less magical, albeit it shows plenty of dedication.
Workers walk around the park every single night and touch up anything that looks damaged. It’s tedious work, but Disney is very serious about not breaking the illusion. Considering how big the park is, walking it must take hours.
Getting Fired
At the edge of the worlds, the pavement abruptly changes. Walt Disney referred to these changes as “sensory tickles.” They were put there to slightly startle guests and encourage them to look around the world to realize that their surroundings have changed.
