Toad's Wild Ride which was an opening day attraction in 1971 it was a classic disney dark ride and unlike the ride at Disneyland in California this version at Magic Kingdom had two separate and unique tracks although was a fan favorite Disney closed mr. Toad's Wild Ride in September of 1998 despite the backlash from the Disney community the popularity of The Adventures of Ichabod and mr. toad movie had sizzled out and around this time the Winnie the Pooh franchise was becoming more and more popular so The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh opened in June of 1999 but mr. toad wasn't completely evicted once his ride closed down after you passed the blustery day show scene you're gonna want to keep your eyes peeled and pay special attention to the pictures in Alan's room there's a lot happening here that's gonna catch your eye but as soon as you enter through the doors quickly look to the left and the first picture you'll see is mr. toad handing the deed of the property over to owl and that's not the only mr. toad reference in the ride on the right hand side you'll also find a picture of moley with Winnie the Pooh that can be found on the floor next to the chair it said that this image depicts moley moving out making way for Winnie the Pooh so the presence of mr. toad still lives on but this isn't the only place you can find him at Magic Kingdom number 4 the pet cemetery the Haunted Mansion is one of the iconic attractions at Walt Disney World which made its debut on opening day in 1971 the attraction delights guests with its woody dark humour and it all starts way before you even enter the physical attraction the queue is fully decorated to set the scene including the cemetery where Madame Leota was laid to rest for starters she's always watching you so keep your eyes peeled but also take a second to read the tombstones each is engraved with a woody rhyme like this one dear sweet Liotta beloved by all in regions beyond now but having a ball well this here isn't the only cemetery on sight as you exit the attraction it's easy to rush out to catch that next fast pass but if you're guilty of this you're probably missing out on another little secret on the left-hand side there's a pet cemetery and like the tombstones for the humans the animals were also given woody rhymes so remember how we said that the Winnie the Pooh ride isn't the only place to find mr. toad well he could also be found right here mr. toad was placed in the pet cemetery in 2006 eight years after mr. Toad's Wild Ride closed down he used to reside on the upper left-hand side but as of recently he was moved to the center the pet cemetery suffered some damage in 2017 during Hurricane Emma and it knocked down some trees so Disney took that opportunity to kind of rework the area now there's a myth among cast members that mr. Toad's tombstone says here lies toad it's sad but true not nearly as marketable as Winnie the Pooh when you zoom right in you can see that there's nothing on the actual stone maybe it's on the back but the front has nothing either way if this was true this text would fit right in with the others so next time you're exiting the Haunted Mansion don't forget to say hi to mr. toad who resides in this brand-new humble abode number three Pascal's friends another one of the opening day attractions at Magic Kingdom was the Skyway this gondola lift ride took you between two stations in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland it provided you with some great views of the attractions down below like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea but hold on because there is more about that attraction coming up next well on November 10th 1999 Disney closed the Skyway for good and the station's remained abandoned while the park decided what they wanted to do with those areas the Fantasyland station was located right beside it's a small world and in mid-2011 12 years after the ride closed down the station was finally torn down making this old abandoned attraction completely extinct and this is where it becomes associated with the next hidden secret in addition to the construction of New Fantasyland Disney took this opportunity to turn the Skyway station into the tangled restrooms which finally opened in March of 2013 so Rapunzel well she's got a dream and an e-ticket restroom complete with many details from the film including Rapunzel's tower this is one of the most heavily themed restroom you've ever seen anywhere you can spend quite a bit of time just walking around this area looking at each individual detail like the hoofprint in the pavement that belongs to maximus and what's tangled without the glowing lanterns well at night the lanterns light up this whole section and it's also a great spot to watch the fireworks now among the other details hidden in this area you're gonna want to find this sign in the courtyard which reads look for friends of Pascale in the scenery hidden among all the flowers and greenery Pascal is Rapunzel's pet chameleon and when the area first opened there was approximately 10 of his friends hidden in the area not including this guy as it recently some may have been removed so we'll show you a couple of them here but we're not gonna give them all away what we'll say is not all the flowers and greenery are on the ground so you might want to take a look up to find some more of his friends now if you're already familiar with this hidden secret how many of Pascal's friends were you able to find leave a comment down below number two the Triton Nautilus another opening day attraction that's now extinct at Magic Kingdom is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea submarine voyage at one time you are able to board the Nautilus submarine and embark on an underwater journey the giant clam obviously this ride safe from such marine predator this attraction occupied a big piece of fantasy land real estate it pretty much covered the entire area where New Fantasyland is today but on September 5th 1994 the attraction closed suddenly for what many people thought was just a last-minute refurbishment well as the months went by it became more and more evident that the attraction would remain closed for good the rumor is that it costs a lot to maintain and run the ride and it also had a really low guest capacity so the lagoon just sat as is until 1995 when Disney turn the left side of the attraction into Ariel's Grotto a king Triton fountain was placed in the lagoon and this abandoned attraction so it became a repurposed experience where you are able to meet Ariel well today a New Fantasyland right across the way from under the sea journey of the Little Mermaid there's a statue of King Triton it appears it's a little tribute to that water fountain statue that used to be in the lagoon seeing that his pose is almost identical but it's definitely not the same statue now if you take a look at the blueprint sketch behind King Triton his left arm is away from his torso and this appears to be the exact same pose from the fountain adding another connection to that extinct attraction so in regards to the lagoon it remained abandoned and unused until it was drained in 2004 and the entire attraction was finally demolished that's with the exception of Ariel's Grotto which remained until 2010 now as we said earlier the entire New Fantasyland area uses the plot of land from the submarine voyage under the sea journey of the Little Mermaid sits on the area that used to be the submarine voyage show building well in the Little Mermaid queue there's a hidden tribute to the now extinct attraction the Nautilus submarine had a very specific look and the outline of the sub can be found right in the QS Rock work if you stand directly in front of this netting before you enter the indoor part of the queue you'll be able to see the Nautilus submarine do you see it how now and there it is this is one of those hidden secrets that's really easy to just walk past if he didn't know it was there that's exactly what I did until mark from yes sir world pointed out the sub while we were exploring the park you can check out yesterday in the card in the right hand side but this here isn't the only tribute to the submarine voyage at Magic Kingdom number one mr. Sanders at the entrance of the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh sits Mr Sanders treehouse and inside the treehouse you'll find another hidden nod to the Nautilus submarine once you're inside you're gonna want to look above the frame of the larger door and there you'll find the Nautilus engraved into the wood now you might be saying why is the Nautilus engraved into the treehouse if the area from the Winnie the Pooh ride was never part of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea well in 2004 when the submarine voyage was demolished Disney opened Pooh's playful spot in 2005 directly across from the Winnie the Pooh ride the new playground and meet-and-greet area was on part of the land from the old lagoon at the center of poos playful spot set Mr Sanders treehouse and this is the exact same treehouse that's currently at the entrance of the ride when poos playful spot closed in 2010 to make way for new Fantasyland doesn't he use the crane to transport the 120 ton tree 150 feet across the way to the rides entrance saving the tree helped connect the Winnie the Pooh ride with the enchanted forest of New Fantasyland and along with this connection the Nautilus also survived the move so 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea may be gone but that ride will never be forgotten you just need to know where to look to find it so have you ever noticed any of these little hidden secrets at Magic Kingdom and if you could bring back one of these extinct rides either the Skyway mr.
