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
