My favorites are the pseudonyms that Walt used to buy the whole WDW resort property.

My favorite is the door for the Cast Member's who bring the magic to life every single day.

The camel on the Magic Carpets of Aladdin shoots water at you. Supposedly it is controlled by the CM in the control room of the attraction.

I remember seeing that camel on one of the floats for the Aladdin parade at D-MGM Studios. It spit then too. Last couple of times I've seen it though, it looked like it was all timed. I guess the next time someone is in Adventureland, someone can ask about it.

I doubt it was timed. It spit my family perfectly two times in a row. The trick to getting spit on is to not go that high. Unfortunately we were unable to make it all the way up.... either our car was broken or it just had too much weight in it from a family of 4 adults.

You get spit on on the ride? I've never been on so I don't know. I thought you were talking about the one that spits on guests walking by...?

Yeah the one that you walk by is just like the Stitch at World of Diseny. There is one on the ride. I believe he is controlled by the CM in the booth.

Weird and interesting at the same time.

Here's another quirk:

Gum is not sold anywhere on Disney property.

Because Walt hated it. People would put it everywhere after they were done chewing it and it is very hard to clean up. He hated seeing it on the ground and other people would step in it getting it all over the place.

WDW MK parking lot is so large that you could fit all of DL in it and still have room to park 500 cars!

Ok. To rephrase...

Disney does not sell gum.

Here is a good one related to the gas stations. We decided to stop off and purchase soda and water for our room before checking in. The Hess Express is only allowed to sell Coca-Cola products there since the Disney license is signed for Coke to be exclusive on the entire property. Also, the Hess Express will only sell Dasani water since it is made by the Coca-cola group
