Disney World, believe it or not, has a lot of secrets, to make the park seem magical. According to Wdinfo.com "Walt designed the parks so when you pass from land to land, you don't see the others. If you are in Liberty Square, you can't see Fantasyland, trees, buildings, and distractions like the water wheel. The noise keeps you from looking to your left and seeing the other lands."Walt Disney was an innovative genius, it would be fair that he reminds a lot of people of Steve Jobs."
Walt also designed a garbage system in which underground pipes are connected to trash-bins, the trash then travels at extreme speed to get to the garbage disposal system, at around 60 MPH.
According to Wdinfo.com "Ever notice there isn't a lot of gum stuck on rides, trees, waiting areas in WDW? That's because they don't sell it, just for this reason. " It's innovative thinking like that which makes Disney World one of the greatest places to go.
Walk Disney has thought of everything to keep his park clean, according to Wdinfo.com "On the Keys to the Kingdom tour they mention that in WDW no trash can will ever be more than 30 steps away from you. It seems that Walt went to other parks when he was designing the park and counted how long a person would hold onto a piece of trash before dropping it on the ground. He came up with 30 steps."
Another cool fact about Disney World is how much work went into it, according to Wdinfo.com "There are more than 20,000 different colors of paint used in Walt Disney World."
Another fun fact about Disney World is how big its staff is! According to Wdinfo.com "If you were to wash and dry one load of laundry every day for the next 44 years, you'd clean about as much as the Cast Members at the Walt Disney World Laundry do in a single DAY!"
Walt Disney put a lot of hard work into Disney World, and felt like he had an obligation to the kids, according to Wdinfo.com "This goes along with the characters. They watch the color of the cement behind the scenes. When it changes color, they know that they have to be in character before they enter the parks.The same goes with leaving. As long as they are on that color, they must be in character even if it is behind the gates. That is, in case the gates are not closed and a child or anyone can look and see them. So, they are not allowed to take the costume off or be out of character. They don't want anyone to see Mickey without his head."
Overall, Disney World is a spectacle to behold. A lot of hard work and dedication went into that park. Walt Disney wanted to make sure that it was perfect, and thought of pretty much everything to make his theme park the BEST theme park to this day.
