On Tuesday, Disney Travelers headed to the Magic Kingdom where “you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy.” Main Street USA gave them a taste of what a typical center of town would look like at the turn of the century. They got to take in the views, snap some photos (many with the special surprise “magic shot” technology), and head to Cinderella Castle. In Adventureland, Frontierland, and Liberty Square they traveled in time to these specific time periods. In Fantasyland they visited many of the songs and movies they grew up with—from Winnie the Pooh to Mickey to the princesses, there was plenty of magic! In Tomorrowland, Travelers stepped into how Walt Disney pictures the future. They soared through space, tried alternative types of transportation and much more! Throughout the day, Travelers continued to notice and call out the intricate details Imagineers out into each land and attraction. For example, as you move from land to land, the ground changes. Sometimes you’re walking on plain grey, other times it’s red. Sometimes there are horseshoe prints or cobblestones, and other times there a brown “stream” down the middle. The trash cans are painted differently based on the attraction too! And they’re everywhere! In fact, as Walt Disney was planning his parks, he was obsessed with keeping it clean. The trash barrels that were most popular tended to leak. He also counted how far people would walk to throw away their trash. As a result, there’s a trash can every 30 feet in the park, because Walt’s studies of human behavior suggested this was the radius people would travel to dispose of their trash! The fun facts, hidden Mickeys, and fun continued into the evening. Travelers enjoyed the show “Happily Ever After,” which choreographed fireworks, to music and projections onto the castle.
