Today on day 15 of I thought we would look at some interesting, fun facts about Magic Kingdom, all though some people would refer to them as interesting, fun secrets!
For instance, did you know that Magic Kingdom is actually built on two levels?
When you come into Magic Kingdom you are actually walking in on the second level.
✨Let me explain.
🌟If you have not been to Disney you probably don't know that each cast member dresses according to what land they work in. Walt wanted a way for the Cast Members to travel around the park without people seeing, say a Fantasy Land Cast Member in Frontier Land. So he created what is known as the utilidors. Some people refer to this as the tunnels. This is a way for the Cast Members to travel from one land to another without being seen. It is also utilized for maintenance crews and delivery people and a way to transport the trash as well. Now, they could not dig in the dirt to create the tunnels because the water table in Florida is so high that if they dug them they would fill up with water so therefore they built the utilidors on the ground level and the Magic Kingdom was built on top of them. So that is why when you come in to Magic Kingdom you are actually walking on the second level!
🌟Also, the Magic Kingdom, the Contemporary, the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian Resorts are all built on the seven seas lagoon. It is a man made body of water that was built by Disney and the soil that was excavated from the lagoon was used to cover the utilidors system and then Magic Kingdom was built on top of that.
So now you know about the two levels of Magic Kingdom!
