find us at TPM videos Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom brings many

classic Disney stories to life in their rides and attractions no small detail

goes unnoticed in a Disney theme park and the attention to detail is what

makes Disney stand out from the rest many of the stories Disney tales in

their parks are from a catalogue of animated feature films that date all the

way back to 1937 and there's a lot of references to these classic Disney films

hidden all around Magic Kingdom either they're tucked away somewhere and hard

to spot or they appear in places where you wouldn't normally expect to find

them so get ready to explore some classic Disney films around the theme

park as we count down the top 7 hidden disney movie references at Magic Kingdom

number 7 the forest animals when New Fantasyland was constructed in 2012

Disney added these castle walls as a gateway into the land now Snow White has

a presence in Fantasyland with the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train but on the pillars of

these new castle walls you'll find some familiar animals from Snow White in the

1937 feature film Snow White meets her forest friends and among these animals

are many squirrels and chipmunks while these pillars of the new castle

wall and Fantasyland feature sculptures of these forests friends but you might

be saying how do you know these are actually a reference to Snow White they

could just be any random chipmunk or squirrel they can be Chippendale well

we're gonna take a quick trip to Disneyland in California to take a look

at Snow White scary adventures on the front of the ride building you'll also

find pillars that have the exact same sculptures on them the fact that they're

featured in The Snow White ride at Disneyland only makes sense that they

reference those animals from the film the only difference at Magic Kingdom is

both standing chipmunks have their hands on their stomach as opposed to one with

their hands directed outwards but there is no doubt that Disney recycled the

version of the molds from Disneyland at Magic Kingdom allowing the characters

from Snow White to be hidden somewhere that's not the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

number six a dog's heart lady in the Tramp is one disney movie that doesn't

really have much presence at the Disney theme parks the movie never got an

actual ride but as you walk through the front gates at Magic Kingdom you'll find

Tony's Town Square restaurant on the right-hand side it's an Italian

restaurant that's based off Tony and Joe's restaurant from the movie the

inside is full of references to Lady and the Tramp including a fountain

centerpiece of the dogs and pictures on the wall that depict scenes from the

film now all of this decoration is in plain sight but there's one hidden

reference to the movie before you even enter the restaurant if you remember

back to the films Bella Notte scene where the iconic spaghetti kiss happens

there's a montage of lady and Tramp walking through the park they get to

some wet concrete and end up stamping their paws in the middle of a heart well

outside the restaurant in front of the veranda you'll find a reference to the

scene in the film stamped into the red pavement are the paw prints of lady and

Tramp in the middle of a heart with an arrow through it just like the movie but

you might need to move a stroller or two to find it since stroller parking is

right over top of it usually it's rare to see this area without strollers so it

is very easy to miss and I personally stumbled upon this by accident one day

not too long ago and that's after visiting Magic Kingdom dozens and dozens

of times so next time you're around the area be on the lookout for the paw

prints in the red pavement number five peanuts

the main attraction and Storybook Circus is Dumbo the flying elephant this is a

classic Disney ride which was an opening day attraction at Magic Kingdom in 1971

but found its new home and Storybook Circus in 2012

now like I said earlier no small detail goes unnoticed in a Disney theme park

they're steaming around every corner and everywhere you step in the 1941 feature

film Dumbo Timothy Maus can be seen eating peanuts

on the ground and then gives one to Dumbo as well as when I point out that

it's just a myth that elephants actually like peanuts

but since Dumble is a cartoon elephant he can eat whatever he wants now if you

look down at the pavement there's a lot of storytelling happening and among the

footprints of circus animals you'll also find peanuts around the

entrance of the Dumbo ride and a little secret between you and I those peanuts

are made of concrete they're not real peanuts apparently some

people think that they're actually real again this is another one of those

little small details that's easy to literally step over but references a fun

little moment of a classic Disney film number four a Royal mosaic Cinderella

Castle sits at the center of Magic Kingdom and one of the great parts of

this elegant structure is the fact that you're able to walk right through it

along the walls of the archway through the castle are 300 thousand pieces of

Italian glass fused with sterling silver and 14-karat gold making up five giant

mosaic murals that tell the story of Cinderella creating these mosaics took

designers 22 months to complete and when you're up close you see just how

intricate they actually are it takes you from the beginning of this classic

Disney film with Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters to Cinderella

talking to her fairy godmother the famous ball scene with Cinderella

running away Cinderella then trying on the glass slipper ending with her and

Prince Philip riding away happily ever after when you're going from scene to

scene also pay attention to the pillars in the archways each were sculpted to

include the mice and bird characters from Cinderella just keep in mind that

the walkway does close multiple times per day for Mickey's royal friendship

fair and the happily ever after fireworks show now there is another

little hidden nod to Cinderella's rags to riches story and it can be found just

outside the castle this fountain the copper statue has

Cinderella dressed in her rags but behind her you'll notice a crown now if

you crouch down to Cinderella's eye level the crown magically appears on the

top of her head crowning Cinderella as a Disney princess number three fee fie foe

fum the Sir Mickey's gift shop is located in Fantasyland

just behind Cinderella Castle and it's hard to miss the giant vine growing out

of the building's windows well actually that giant vine just happens to be the

Beanstalk from the Mickey and the Beanstalk featurette the entire gift

shop is actually based off two classic medieval themed Disney shorts the brave

little tailor and Mickey and the Beanstalk the window displays of this

shop reference the brave little tailor if you peek into this window at the

front of the shop you'll see Mickey's tailor room with a mannequin and a sign

that says out giant hunting back soon in the short Mickey is instructed by the

king to go out and find the Giant now this window on the side features a

poster that reads giant at large which is a direct nod to this sign seen at the

beginning of the film then once you enter the gift shop you're taken through

the story of Mickey and the Beanstalk you'll find Mickey standing on the

Beanstalk by where's the giant in Mickey in the Beanstalk there's a scene near

the end of the film where Willie the giant picks up the roof and peeks in

well if you take a look up at the roof you'll see Willie the giant peeking into

the shop unless you're actually aware he's there it's really easy to walk

right past him while you're just looking at the merchandise and this is why it's

always worth it to look up at a Disney theme park you never know what you're

missing number two Disney mermaids Peter Pan's flight was an opening day

attraction at Magic Kingdom in 1971 and was based off Peter Pan's flight at

Disneyland Disney is known for their classic dark rides but this one's unique

since you're suspended in the air as opposed to traveling on the ground

well after you pass the Lost Boys Camp scene you'll approach mermaid lagoon on

the right hand side this is based off the scene from the 1953 animated film

but if you look closely you'll notice a very familiar Disney Mermaid Ariel from

The Little Mermaid can be seen right in mermaid lagoon along the other mermaids

from Peter Pan according to Jim Hill media when the Little Mermaid film was

released in 1989 people began to speculate that one of the mermaids and

looked a lot like Ariel now I don't have images of what the original mermaid

looked like in the attraction but if I had to guess looking at the scene from

the movie it appears to be this mermaid here since she's the one holding the

shell and her hand is in a very similar position now if she had bright red hair

purple shells on her chest and a darker green tail this would really resemble

Ariel I mean maybe Ariel was actually based off this mermaid from Peter Pan

who knows so when Peter Pan's flight went through a refurb in the mid 90s the

story according to Jim Hill media is that cast members actually convinced

Imagineering to turn that particular mermaid into Ariel since guests kept

asking about it over all these years whether that's actually true or not

we'll never really know but what we do know is that there is no denying that

Ariel is hiding right in Peter Pan's flight at Magic Kingdom number one The

Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey's filler magic in Fantasyland has

been entertaining guests since 2003 in this unique 3d experience after the show

ends and Donald flies off the screen be sure to look behind you as you exit the

theatre

now once you've exited you'll find the fantasy fair gift shop on the right hand

side the decor of the shop ties into the Philharmonic attraction featuring

Donald's flying through multiple brass instruments with Mickey conducting on

the opposite side the upper portion of the walls feature various instruments

along with music notes on the curtains and music notes along the brownej well

these music notes on the staff along the brownej aren't random and actually make

up a very familiar Disney tune for anyone familiar with music on the bass

clef these notes would be a d followed by an E natural an f-sharp then a G a B

G B a G f-sharp and when you play those notes this is what you hear sound

familiar you might recognize that melody from

fantasmic but this piece of music above the merchandise shelves is actually the

Sorcerer's Apprentice from the 1940 animated film Fantasia it's a pretty

iconic tune which can be heard in Mickey's fill her magic and acts as a

perfect piece of decoration that references a classic Disney film in a

way you wouldn't expect so did you know about any of these head and Disney movie

references at the park and if you had to pick your favorite either from this list

or maybe one that wasn't mentioned what would it be
