I'm sorry I didn't post this last week. It got to be hectic around here and I put it off till this week. But here it is, Part 6, Tomorrowland. If you are wondering why we skipped Toon Town, its because it is currently in refurb as they add more to Fantasyland and take away parts of Toon Town and lots of info may not be accurate right now.
Did You Know?
- There is a Hidden Mickey in the cement near the Astro Orbiter. It is near one of the stability pillars in front of Astro Orbiter on the side facing Space Mountain. It is definitely an imprint of a classic Mickey in the cement.
- A CM (Cast Member) at the end of the Buzz Lightyear ride (just before the gift shop area) may choose you to find a hidden Disney Character somewhere in the area from the entrance of the shop forward. You get a free copy of your picture and a free souvenir if you can point it out in under 5 minutes!
- The big points in the Buzz Lightyear ride are found leaving the first room. Turn around and shoot the back of the orange robot’s arm or the back of the buzz saw (100,000 points). The car turns automatically away form these so turn back to score big! Hold the button on your blaster down--don't let it up as you move it around and aim.
- In the very last Buzz Lightyear room where you are still able to shoot, look forward at the top left corner, there's a planet with Mickey on it. This same planet is also on the map of planets in the waiting area just as you enter. The planet is blue.
- If you make a silly face for the camera on the Buzz ride, your photo will come up on the monitors as "Zapped by Zurg."
- There is a Picture of Walt Disney hidden in the Carousel of Progress. It is in the daughter's room in the 1940s on the wall you are facing as you sit in front of the stage wall in the upper left corner.
- Several HMs (Hidden Mickeys) in the final scene: (a) Mickey nutcracker on the fireplace mantle, (b) a plush peeking out from a present, (c) a white peppermill on the kitchen counter, (d) An abstract Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's apprentice from Fantasia in a painting on the dining room wall, (e) one of the Christmas presents under the tree (near the Grandfather's chair) is wrapped in red and white paper but has a large classic Mickey head cut out of green paper glued to the side of the gift (the gift is partially hidden by another present, so you see the ears and part of the top of Mickey's head), (f) a classic Mickey appears (just for a few seconds) on the top of a spaceship in the middle of the television screen (look for it just as the game starts on the TV before Grandma starts playing), (g) On the top of a cup, the lid is a HM.
- The dog holding the keys in Pirates of the Caribbean and the dog in Carousel of Progress are both Walt Disney's dog.
- The T.T.A.-The attraction was originally called "The WEDway People Mover" from July 1, 1975 until the debut of the "New Tomorrowland" on June 11, 1994. Although the ride itself has remained essentially the same, the soundtrack has had several changes, some minor and some major: (a) the "WED" part of WEDway is for WED Enterprises, the original name for Walt Disney Imagineering (or WDI for short). WED is, of course, Walt's initials (Walter Elias Disney), (b) the model city the Tomorrowland Transit Authority passes is the model for Walt Disney’s personal vision of E.P.C.O.T., and (c) in the hair salon scene, look for a Hidden Mickey on the lady's belt buckle.
- A talking trashcan is in Tomorrowland! His name is Push. He comes out from Mickey's Star Traders every hour or so and roams for 20 minutes.
- Near the Speedway on the way into Tomorrowland, there is a high street lamp with three large round hooded lights. It was designed to cast a HM on the ground twice a day when the sun is in the right place.
