Here are some interesting Disney facts that we have found out over the years that we have been visiting Orlando.
MAGIC KINGDOM
When you walk through the Magic Kingdom you are actually walking on the 2nd floor, the first floor is hidden beneath you. Utility corridors, called Utilidoors occupy the first floor of the park. The Utilidoors hide most of the daily operations of the park from the guests, such as Character and Cast Member movements, restocking of merchandise, waste bin collection, etc. There are offices, changing rooms and even cafes here.
These are just a few things we have discovered I am sure you will find out some more.
