Top 100 Useless Disney Facts You Don't Need to Know

#1: Don’t expect to see any bad hair days on the “It’s a Small World Ride” — well, not from the dolls! Yarn, the material they typically use for hair, alters under humidity (we know the feeling). So, every now and again, they reportedly pop off behind the scenes for a little haircut.

#2: The Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is roughly 40 square miles. For context, that’s almost the same size as San Francisco!

#3: Leave your pogo sticks at home because they’re banned from Disney’s parks. Guess we’ll just have to leave all that bouncing to Tigger then!

#4: The majority of the roars in 1994’s “The Lion King” don’t belong to lions. Different sounds and effects — including tiger roars and Frank Welker’s voice — were reportedly used to get the necessary power. You keep working on your roar though, young Simba!

#5: Sulley from “Monsters, Inc.” is made up of lots of individual hairs – over 2.3 million, to be more specific. While animation’s come a long way since, just one Sulley frame reportedly would’ve taken about 12 hours to make in those days.

#6: Similarly, Merida from “Brave’s” gorgeous red curls are made up of 11,700 strands. Ironed out, they’d stretch to four feet long – it looks like Rapunzel has competition!

#7: Walt Disney was awarded an honorary Oscar for “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” He got the standard statuette, plus seven much smaller ones as a nod to the film’s protagonist and her sidekicks. Yes, that is Shirley Temple giving them to him.

#8: Disneyland’s iconic castle was reportedly planned for Snow White. However, to promote their upcoming Princess flick, the castle keys were handed to “Sleeping Beauty,” which would be released roughly four years after the attraction opened.

#9: Disney theme park employees were initially banned from sporting any facial hair, a rule that has since been somewhat relaxed!

#10: Walt Disney’s housekeeper, Thelma Howard, died a multi-millionaire (roughly $9 million if you were wondering), thanks to all the Disney shares he’d gifted her for birthdays and holidays.

#11: Woody from “Toy Story”’s full name is Woody Pride.

#12: Remember the sorcerer Yen Sid from “Fantasia?” Say his name backward, and you get Disney!

#13: Thought Maleficent inhabits “La Tanière du Dragon” under Disneyland Paris’ Sleeping Beauty castle? Think again! They don’t even really look alike.

#14: Some hyena biologists were upset with “The Lion King” over their portrayal of the animal. One reportedly even tried to sue!

#15: As of 2023, Dumbo is the only titular animated Disney feature character not to have any dialogue.

#16: Bruce’s moniker in “Finding Nemo” is reportedly a nod to the nickname given to the animatronic shark from “Jaws.”

#17: Despite “Cinderella”’s success, Disney was sure he’d never match the greatness of “Snow White” again. By the time “Cinderella” entered peoples’ lives, he had already turned his attention away from the studio’s movies and onto his great love of trains.

#18: A trip down Main Street transports you to the USA in 1910, while Tomorrowland is meant to depict 1986. Both are years when Halley's Comet could be seen – coincidence?

#19: Rumor has it that Disney’s animators would use the code “Man is in the forest” as a heads-up for their co-workers to get on task when they heard the boss arriving.

#20: Among Walt’s last written words was the name “Kirt” Russell, in reference to actor Kurt Russell. Nobody knows the exact reasoning there for certain, not even Russell.

#21: Michael J. Fox circa “Back to the Future” was the original inspiration for Aladdin’s look, but ultimately, they modeled the character after Tom Cruise.

#22: Lilo voice actor Daveigh Chase also played the creepy Samara Morgan in “The Ring.”

#23: Mickey Mouse has four digits on each hand. In the words of Walt Disney, five would've resulted in the hands being reminiscent of “a bunch of bananas.” This choice was also a money saver!

#24: Mickey Mouse’s first words were a big deal. Ready to hear what they were?

#25: While we’re on the subject of food: in Disney World, there’s only ever a maximum of 30 steps between you and a trash can. Rumor has it the Disney mastermind came up with the number by testing how many steps he needed to finish eating a hot dog!

#26: Walt Disney’s late daughter Diane dispelled rumors that her father was cryogenically frozen. It’s probably time for conspiracy theorists to “Let It Go.”

#27: Amy Adams shared that Giselle’s wedding dress in “Enchanted” weighed about 45 pounds.

#28: Sebastian from “The Little Mermaid” was initially meant to have a British accent. We reportedly have Howard Ashman to thank for them making the character Caribbean.

#29: Disney has a color called “Go Away Green,” intended to camouflage construction areas and other things they don’t want visitors to take notice of. Wait a second! Could Encanto’s “Bruno” be wearing this magical shade of green?!

#30: During his battle with the Beast, Gaston declares the following. But watch his lips – you can still make out the originally scripted and significantly darker line, “Time to Die.”

#31: It’s said that animators had to draw approximately one million bubbles for “The Little Mermaid.” Talk about an unbeliebubbly high level of care and commitment!

#32: As of 2023, Hans from “Frozen” is thought to be Disney’s youngest major male villain. He’s reportedly 23 when we meet him.

#33: Former U.S. President and Democrat Harry S. Truman apparently turned down a ride on “Dumbo the Flying Elephant,” since the animal represents the Republican party.

#34: To us, he’s Prince Charming – but Cinderella’s beau doesn’t have a definitive name, at least not in the 1950 movie. Some say it might be Henry, though.

#35: On the flip side, while more commonly known as the Evil Queen from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” this envious royal is actually called Grimhilde.

#36: Nobody in the world fires off more fireworks than the Walt Disney Company. It’s an expensive venture, but worth it for the magic?

#37: Why is it “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and not “ Dwarves?” The latter reportedly only became the more typically used term after J. R. R. Tolkien wrote it in a foreword in “The Hobbit” to differentiate between the two.

#38: Walt Disney reportedly got one of his first tastes of “Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust” while portraying Peter Pan in a school production.

#39: Legend has it that Walt Disney disliked being called “Mr. Disney,” and insisted park staff go by their first names only.

#40: Let us save you counting the bricks in Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella’s Castle: the number you’d get to is zero. The Castle comprises several materials, including steel, concrete, and fiberglass – but no brick.

#41: Pixar bigwigs came up with and sketched out ideas that would later become "A Bug's Life," "Monsters, Inc.,""Finding Nemo," and "WALL-E" while brainstorming at lunch in 1994. “Toy Story” wasn’t even completed yet!

#42: You can stand beneath Epcot’s geodesic sphere - and home to Spaceship Earth - during Florida’s wettest season and stay totally dry! Thanks to its cladding, rainwater is directed toward a series of underground drains that open into the World Showcase lagoon.

#43: An incomplete version of “Beauty and the Beast” was screened to a festival audience and still received a standing ovation.

#44: The Cherubs on the ceiling in Magic Kingdom’s “Be Our Guest” Grand Ballroom were reportedly designed to resemble Imagineers’ kids. Baby versions of the Imagineers are depicted up there too.

#45: A wannabe Disneyland called Nara Dreamland opened in Japan in 1961. When Tokyo Disneyland entered the scene in 1983, Dreamland’s popularity decreased significantly, marking the beginning of the end for the theme park.

#46: As of 2023, “Sleeping Beauty”’s Aurora holds the title for the least amount of screen time and fewest lines of any protagonist with dialogue in a feature-length Disney animated movie.

#47: There are 20,622 balloons tied to Carl’s house when he first goes “Up,” and 10,297 while the residence is floating around.

#48: Pixar had no new film releases in 2014.

#50: “Love Is an Open Door” from “Frozen” reportedly marks the first duet between a Princess (Anna) and villain (Hans) in a Disney movie.

#51: The adorable “Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth-Class" robot WALL-E’s moniker sure sounds like a reference to Disney’s ultimate head honcho, Walter Elias Disney.

#52: You’ll only ever see Disney parks cast members pointing with two fingers (or potentially their whole hands) in what’s known as the “Disney Point.” It’s believed that the main reason for this is to avoid offending visitors from various backgrounds, as pointing with one’s index finger is rude in certain cultures.

#53: At one point, “The Lion King” was going to be titled “'King of the Jungle.” That changed because you don’t typically find these majestic creatures lion around jungles!

#54: “Pocahontas” and “The Lion King” were in production simultaneously. They assumed the former would be their big moneymaker while the latter was a wild card, so it was largely offloaded to the rookies or less experienced animators. We’ll let you decide which one ended up being the mane event.

#55: If we exclude step-siblings (and we are), Ariel was the only official Disney Princess with siblings for a long time. That changed in 2012 with Merida and her brothers in “Brave.”

#56: Peter Cullen is the voice behind Optimus Prime in much of the “The Transformers” franchise and Eeyore in the “Winnie the Pooh” franchise.

#57: Tiana from “The Princess and the Frog” has dimples – a major rarity for Disney Princesses. They were inspired by her voice actress and Disney Legend Anika Noni Rose.

#58: There’s a secret basketball court inside Disneyland’s Matterhorn. Well, not exactly a full-sized court – more like a net hung up on a wall and enough space to shoot hoops.

#59: “Moana” star Auliʻi Cravalho celebrated her 16th Birthday the day before the film’s US release, reportedly making her and her character the same age.

#60: Clarence Nash, Donald Duck’s original voice actor, also lent his voice to some of the canine barks heard in “One Hundred and One Dalmatians.”

#61: Mulan is either left-handed or ambidextrous. Tiana, meanwhile, is definitively a leftie. Anika Noni Rose wanted that detail incorporated because she is one too!

#62: “The Lion King” was nearly a Dancing QUEEN! ABBA was Tim Rice’s first pick to work with on the soundtrack, but they weren’t available. Luckily Elton John ended up being a “Super Trouper.”

#63: Cinderella’s Castle in Disney World has an exclusive, lavish invitation-only suite. But unless you put the I in VIP, you can keep dreaming because you’re not getting in.

#64: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” got its VHS home video release in 1994, decades after its initial release. It became one of the best-selling VHS releases ever.

#65: Walt Disney briefly held an exclusive “license” of sorts for technicolor, meaning no other animators could make full-color features quite like Disney.

#66: Ariel is the first Disney Princess to be a mom. Considering her musical talents, it’s only fitting that her daughter be named Melody!

#67: Disney utilizes a device called the 'Smellitzer’, which was patented. It strategically releases various scents across their parks, creating a more immersive experience, so keep a nose out during your next visit!

#68: The “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride at Disneyland reportedly used to feature real skeletons because the fake ones available weren’t realistic. Thanks to evolving technology, this is no longer the case. Though there has been speculation that some real ones were left in…

#69: Reports suggest that shooting Disney Channel Original Movies — aka DCOMs — generally takes three months or less.

#70: Rapunzel’s hair in “Tangled” is roughly 70 feet long. Per Kelly Ward, a senior software engineer for Disney Animation who worked on the locks, they would weigh between 60-80 lbs. Think about that next time you’re brushing out a particularly stubborn knot!

#71: You hear more of Elvis Presley’s discography in “Lilo & Stitch” than in most — if not all — of the movies he starred in.

#72: There’s an estimated 950 words spoken throughout “Bambi”. Whatever the exact number, it’s certainly far less than we’re used to.

#73: In 1973, then-President Richard Nixon delivered his “I’m not a crook” speech at Disney World’s Contemporary Resort.

#74: In another pivotal historical moment, John Lennon signed the documents that would officially end the Beatles while at Disney World’s Polynesian Village Resort. Isn’t this meant to be the happiest place on earth?

#75: Apparently, Disney Parks are no strangers to rejecting requests from people wanting to spread a loved one’s ashes on the “Haunted Mansion” and other rides. That doesn’t always stop people from trying (and sometimes succeeding).

#76: Sound designer Ben Burtt is responsible for the “voices” of R2-D2 in the “Star Wars” franchise and of the titular WALL-E in the Pixar flick.

#77: Pete – yes, that one – is a cat! This makes total sense since he’s an antagonist to a mouse and a dog.

#78: Disneyland is the residence of a clowder of feral cats acting as the park’s “pest control.” We hope they leave Mickey and Minnie alone, though.

#79: The straight-to-video “Bambi II” is widely thought to have been the last animated full-length movie Disney put out on VHS — Disney Movie Club flicks excluded.

#80: The 1940s were a difficult decade for the animation studio, not helped by the fact that Europe, typically big consumers of Disney movies, was at war. This was also one of the reasons that “Pinocchio” became a box-office disaster. Soon, the company’s debt surpassed $4 million, and it was heading toward complete financial ruin.

#81: Rumor has it that Goofy was Walt Disney’s favorite character – or at least one of them.

#82: To come up with Ursula from “The Little Mermaid”’s look, the team drew inspiration from a drag queen named Divine. And the directors reportedly envisioned Bea Arthur voicing the sassy sea witch at first.

#83: The opening Zulu chant in “Circle of Life” reportedly translates to “Here comes a lion, father” and “Oh yes it’s a lion.” It’s very profound, we know.

#84: Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom transports visitors back to colonial America, so don’t expect to find any indoor plumbing. You’ll need to visit one of Disney’s more modern lands to find a bathroom. The restaurants are the only exception since, you know, codes and stuff.

#85: “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” was reportedly nearly axed from “The Lion King,” but ultimately made the cut because Elton John wanted it to.

#86: The Disney Vault is known as a hypothetical place where Disney’s extensive catalog resides when out of reach. But there’s also a literal, physical top-secret vault in Glendale, California at the Disney Animation Research Library, where pretty much everything used to create the Disney movies we know and love is stored.

#87: Voicing the Genie in “Aladdin” “for his children,” Robin Williams agreed to be paid a smaller than usual amount. In exchange, he requested that his voice not be used on merchandise. Needless to say, he was furious when Disney reportedly went against the deal, and the company eventually apologized.

#88: Contrary to popular belief, 2011's “Winnie the Pooh” was the last Disney release to use fully traditional hand-drawn 2D animation. You thought it was “The Princess and the Frog,” didn’t you?

#89: Alyssa Milano confirmed that she was one of the muses for Ariel’s appearance in “The Little Mermaid” – but she didn’t know until after.

#90: The Mandarin dub of “Beauty and the Beast” has Jackie Chan as the singing and speaking voice of the Beast. He also voiced the three Chinese dubs of Captain Li Shang in “Mulan.”

#91: Gaston is the first male antagonist to feature in a Disney Princess movie.

#92: Long-running Minnie and Mickey Mouse voice actors Russi Taylor and Wayne Allwine fell in love and got married.

#93: Those who formally invite Mickey and Minnie to their wedding reportedly get a “Just Married” pin and signed picture in return. Cinderella and Prince Charming, meanwhile, apparently send a certificate offering congratulations, also signed.

#94: Not to make you feel ancient or anything, but “The Lion King” was released closer to the Apollo 11 moon landing than today.

#95: Walt Disney had a private apartment above the firehouse on Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A, meaning he could watch the magic come to life. A lamp like the one he had is now permanently switched on in tribute.

#96: Mickey Mouse getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1978 marked a first for an animated character. Minnie had to wait until 2018 to get hers. Justice for Minnie Mouse!

#97: Billy Crystal could’ve voiced Buzz Lightyear, but instead, he’s the self-proclaimed “schmuck who turned down ‘Toy Story.’” At least he learned his lesson by the time the offer to voice Mike Wazowski in “Monsters, Inc” came around.

#98: Walt Disney was going to name his eventual mascot mouse Mortimer, but his wife Lillian reportedly wasn’t a fan and came up with Mickey instead.

#99: A very particular charity auction was held on eBay by Disney in 2004. It was won by one Cary Sharp, who bid $37,400 to – get ready – get his name (as well as an epitaph) engraved onto one of the “Haunted Mansion” tombstones at Disneyland.

#100: It has often been said that Cinderella’s dress transformation was one of Walt Disney’s favorite animated sequences.

#101: The 1961 “One Hundred and One Dalmatians” film is said to feature a whopping 6,469 952 spots. Well, it was Walt Disney who reportedly said, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to [paw-sue] them.” Okay, so that wasn’t the exact quote.
