Disney Parks are known for hiding secrets for guests to scope out. Hidden Mickeys are probably the most popular, to the point where Disneyland actually sells guidebooks on where and how to find them all. But did you know about some of the weirder, more obscure things?

Hopefully, most of these items are only things you can hear from a cast member. For now, we’ll focus on everything pre-Galaxy’s Edge because that would just be a little too much. Here are 10 weird things Disneyland hides in plain sight.

10 Cast Member Entrances

As a guest, you don’t think about how cast members get to and from their work locations. But keep an eye out next time you’re in the park because there’s a lot of hidden entrances to the “backstage.” Usually, these entrances are faux walls or painted in Disney’s specially crafted shade of green, but some of them are a bit strange.

Probably the weirdest entrance to backstage is in Mickey’s Toon Town. If you go to the back of the area, diagonally across from the gazebo, there’s a bright yellow door. Yup, that’s a backstage entrance, right near some of the larger corporate buildings for the park.

9 The Feral Cats

You’ve heard the rumors and they’re all true. Disneyland has a plethora of feral cats who take care of any pest problems the park could have. Minus the ducks, the ducks are forever.

You usually can’t see the cats until well after the park is closed. They get spooked by the large number of guests and all the noise they bring, but sometimes, you can catch them hanging around on slower days. A favorite spot seems to be the rocks leading to the Indiana Jones Adventure temple.

8 Walt’s Lamp

As we’ll touch on later, Walt’s Disneyland apartment above the Main Street Fire Station. But you’ve noticed that the light above the firehouse stays on all the time, right? The explanation you get is usually that the lamp stays on in honor of Walt since he’d keep it on whenever he was staying in the park.

The other half of the story is that one day, a cast member was cleaning the apartment, turned the lamp off, and left. When they got outside, they looked up and the lamp was still on. So they went back, turned the lamp off again, and left. And the lamp was still on.

Basically, Disneyland’s haunted.

7 The Attraction Trifecta

Indiana Jones Adventure is a huge attraction, but did you know it expands all the way into New Orleans Square? Indie borders two of Disneyland’s most famous attractions. If you’re heading into the attraction, the Jungle Cruise is to the left. It’s literally above you and considering it’s a river, that’s kind of terrifying.

As you go further into the queue line, Pirates of the Caribbean is on the left. You can’t see it, but Pirates and Indie share a wall. There are certain entrances in the queue line so attraction maintenance workers can get into Pirates if something breaks down.

6 Forced Perspective

Did you know Sleeping Beauty’s castle is only 77ft tall? But it looks so much bigger!

It’s all a clever trick called forced perspective.

All of Main Street leading up to the castle implements this trick, making the castle and the buildings appear larger than they really are. The bricks at the bottom of the buildings are larger than the bricks at the top, tricking your brain into thinking that what you’re looking at is farther away than it really is.

Though staring at the flags on the castle to predict whether or not the fireworks spectacular will be canceled is still a tried and true method.

5 The Stoplight in Cars Land

This is more of a fun little Easter Egg, but you wouldn’t bother looking unless you had a hardcore Cars enthusiast with you. There’s a bit of a throwaway line in the first movie about the stoplight. Since Radiator Springs hardly got any traffic, the stoplight is perpetually on a blinking yellow light. The exchange is between Fillmore and Sarge, where Fillmore claims that every third blink is longer.

It’s a funny line, but definitely not the quote you take away from the movie. But the Imagineers ran with that and did indeed make every third blink longer. Seriously, watch the light next time you’re there.

4 The Party Line Phones

If you’re not stopping for coffee or want to bypass the Market House crowds, you’ve most likely missed this spot. The Market House is a shop about halfway down the right side of Main Street, right across the street from Clothiers (aka the less busy Emporium). Along the walls, you’ll see some old timey phones with plaques above them. These are totally ok to pick up and listen in on.

But wait, there’s more! A few phones are scattered on that portion of Main Street. There should also be one in 20th Century Music - the only pin shop on Main Street - and the adjoining shops. Just make sure not to pick up an actual phone or else you’ll get a retail cast member in the backroom.

3 Edible Plants

Tomorrowland is a vision of the future. Even back in the day, Disney had sustainability in mind. Therefore, all the plants in Tomorrowland are edible. Most of the trees are lemon or lime and many of the smaller green plants are herbs.

The trees do actually yield fruit, but unlike with the greenhouses in DisneyWorld, the produce isn’t used in the park’s food. Due to Southern California being something of a bleak wasteland with no water, Disneyland can’t cultivate crops for eating. However, the fruit doesn’t go to waste. It’s used as mulch and fertilizer for the other plants around the park!

2 The Rotunda Calendar

Did you know the Rotunda Calendar doesn’t work?

Ok, so technically it does keep track of the year accurately, but there’s a catch. So the Imagineers behind Indiana Jone Adventure pulled out all the stops and made a brilliant attraction. The queue line is one of the best in the park, complete with interactive elements, Hidden Mickeys, and beautiful artwork. The grand centerpiece seems to be the Rotunda Calendar, the last major artifact you see before boarding your vehicle.

Imagineers made it so sunlight would filter in from above and the Rotunda Calendar would function from natural light. However, they installed it backwards. The light you see is a lightbulb all the way up in the ceiling to keep the calendar on track.

1 Walt Disney’s Apartments

Yes, there’s two of them. The most well-known is the one above the fire station. Only select people and tours are allowed inside and of course, there’s no pictures allowed. Seriously, you have to turn off your phone and never take it out or else someone will escort you out. It’s a small apartment, so there’s no hiding.

Also, yes, you could hypothetically use the fire pole to slide down to the fire station.

The second apartment is actually the headquarters of Club 33, located in New Orleans Square. Before this apartment was completed, Walt passed and therefore, never set foot in that location. Now, only Club 33 members - the most exclusive Disney club ever created with an outrageous price tag - and their guests are allowed inside.
