Wowsers! Great thread. I took the KKTK tour years ago and can't remember most of what the guide said, lol, but a couple things:
There was a flying Tinkerbell in DL who retired at age 70.
Many of the Mickeys are women...
The women in the dance group that performs on the castle stage (I believe they're called Equius?) all wear wigs. Always.
They took out the overhead skyway thingy (can't remember the name?) not because they were unsafe or that people were throwing stuff on guests' heads, but because it went against Walt's thing about illusion. From up there you could see the parking areas behind main street.
Also, I have a friend who works for Disney in MK and is a Traditions teacher. When I asked her if Disney was ever worried about Universal getting HP World, she laughed and said that mid-construction funds were running out and Disney basically bailed them out. So no, they're seriously not worried.
If you have netflix, there are several Disney documentary-type things, and the imagineers give lots of cool tidbits. There's like 5 of them, and I think they were made in 2010 all by the same company...kinda like informercials for Disney, but we watch them all the week before we go to get psyched up.
