Every day we here at Disney Fans of Loudoun learn something new about Walt Disney World! Here are just a few things that we have learned recently about the parks.
Trident Gum Never Sold at Disney
Did you know that you will never find gum in a Walt Disney World Store?
This is because Disney wants to ensure that gum never ends up stuck to the ground in any of its parks, so they don’t sell it. Sure hope you don’t have bad breath!

Did you know that the characters from Toy Story used to drop to the ground whenever someone would say, “Andy’s coming!”?
They used to do this, but they had to stop because it was too dangerous for the performers and guests nearby.
Not as Tall as You Think?!
Have you ever heard of the “forced perspective” aspect of Disney’s parks?
Disney uses the idea that narrow and slightly taller spaces make things appear larger than they are. If you don’t believe us, go check out Cinderella’s Castle and Main Street USA at Walt Disney World, and the Streetscape at the Hollywood Studios backlot where you will see both in action. When you get close, you realize that they aren’t really that tall at all.
