Hey, a few facts that I didn’t know! (Mostly about the partner statue).
A couple of corrections though…
1. The hole in the glass in HM was caused by a gun, not a slingshot.
2. POTC did at one time have real skeletons. All have been replaced, including the one above the headboard.
3. It’s doubtful that the DL subs would qualify as such on any world navy list (they aren’t really technically subs).
The “Swisskapolka” on the phonograph in the former Swiss Family Robinson Tree house is no longer in the upper room of the treehouse but on the lower level where the “camp” is setup. I noticed that when I visited DL in April. Thanks for the article!
When Walt was alive, maintenance crews were pressed to make everything look pristine for the next day. So gauges, scraps, and carved initials all had to be fixed. They did not know if a guest or Walt made the imperfection, but it was their job to repair it. My dad used to test them by improving the bottoms of hitching rails in Frontierland.
