Holy Crap! Last One! or... Real or Bullshit Part 10!!!

Hiya Disney Dorks!

This is it! Finally! Ten parts, ten posts, ten days! High stepping into the endzone!(that's a sports reference people!)

Are you as sick of reading this as I am writing it?? Wow. That was rude... You were SUPPOSED to say no!

Let's get to 'em! And by "em" I mean the last 5 on this list right here!

#46 The Magic Kingdom in Florida is actually built on the second level of the park. The first level is a network of "utilidors" built to allow costumed characters to cross the parks unseen by the public. It can also be used to transport trash and can be used by ambulances in emergencies.

This is totally true! The utilidors are also used to hide the parks utilities... right there in the corridors! Hey wait! Utility! Corridor! Utilidor!! The original celebrity couple name mash up! Oh who needs you Kimye, Branjelina and Bennifer? We got Utilidors!

You wanna see what they look like?
 

Found a map about it! Wanna see it? Here it goes.

The utilidors are not actually underground. They are built at sea level and the Magic Kingdom is built about 15 feet above them. The "tunnels" are also color coded for easy of navigation!

Exciting stuff huh?

Ready to move on to the next thing? Me too!

TRUE

#47 There are vents on Main Street that pump artificial vanilla scents into the air. During Christmas, though, they use peppermint. 

Fun fact about FSL(Future Supreme Leader... aka my wife). She has a Super Sniffer and can smell things way better than I can. She just told me that she has NEVER smelled vanilla or peppermint walking down Main Street. During the holidays, when it snows, it smells like gingerbread... hell, even I could smell that! Most of the confirmation I have seen about this is from WDW... That's kinda par for the course with this list, it is very Disney World heavy!

Disney's use of Smellitizers, which pump the scents out, are another example of  "sensory tickles"(still sounds kinda creepy) used to create an immersive experience for the guests.

PUSH... will let you know after the next time we go to Disneyland

#48 If you hear Code V over a radio, it's for vomit.
  
Also heard "protein spill". Here is an article from a former CM from, you guessed it, Disney World.

I found a list of radio codes used in Disneyland.
100 - Delayed opening 
101 - Attraction Down
101G - Attraction is Down due to Guest Activities
102 - Attraction is up - Routine
103 - Attraction Down - Emergency
104 - Attraction is operating at reduced capacity (running fewer units, trains, cars etc.
105 - Attraction is operating at full capacity
514 - 'Look out for' or 'Check it out'
902 - Traffic Accident
904 Fire
Code 90 - Temperature has reached 90°, loosen clothing
PXXXXX - VIP importance where P stands for Priority... and the x's indicate importance.
"V" is called when a certain ride does not agree with one's stomach.
Code "H" means one of the Main Street horses left some recycled hay on the street.

TRUE
 
#49 When it first opened in 1955, Disneyland had a lingerie store on Main Street called "The Wizard of Bras"

Finally one that is about Disneyland! You know the porch on the right side of Main Street if you are headed into the park? Great place to people watch if you haven't sat there before... Well, that used to house the shop Intimate Apparel also referred to as the Corset Shop in some 1956 guide books.The store was sponsored by H-M Company, at the time known as Hollywood-Maxwell or The Wizard of Bras! BOOM! Some say the porch was build to keep a buffer zone between the apparel and the prying eyes of some of the younger guests. Here is an example of the Whirpool Bra, created and sold by Hollywood-Maxwell.

Unrelated to the H-M Company, there is a Wizard of Bra's in Monrovia, CA... Not as awesomely retro as the former Main Street Store, but... it has the same name!So, it's kinda the same... but different...

TRUE 

#50 There is room for eight more countries in Epcot's World Showcase.

No body cares! Woooo! Thanks everyone! That's my time!

But apparently it's true.  

Here is the article I "borrowed' the picture from...

TRUE 

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH! OH CRAP! AHHHHHH! WOOOOOHOO!

I am finished!! Up next a 143 part post on the history of... your mom! Just kidding! That would only take one post!

Today's tally 4-0-1... Bringing the grand total to... 37-10-3!

Coming soon-ish... Emphasis on the -ish... Haunted Disneyland and what would I like to see them add to the park...

First, a full nights sleep... and a cocktail...

Thanks for sticking with me through this. I had been avoiding writing for so long that I wanted to see if I could pull off a marathon of blogging. 

Stay Dorky!
