Disney at 50: In late October 1971, Disney threw a three-day dedication celebration with flown-in star power from Hollywood. View the full article Walt Disney World opens Actor Fred MacMurray and his wife gather with others for the dedication ceremonies of Walt Disney World in October 1971. User Upload Caption: (File / Orlando Sentinel) Oct. 1, 1971 is considered the opening date for Walt Disney World. That’s the first day Magic Kingdom was open to the public, to paying customers. But later that month, Disney threw a three-day dedication celebration, complete with flown-in star power from California. About 30 celebrities attended, including Bob Hope, master of ceremonies for one event at the Contemporary. Among his jokes: “Now I know where the Goodyear Blimp goes in mating season.” Also: “And just think, it all started with a gentle mouse, a band-tempered duck and seven mixed-up dwarfs.” The Orlando Sentinel and Orlando Evening Star newspapers tracked the movements of the celebs, several of whom had the late Walt Disney on their minds. “Actually, I feel Walt is here. And he probably has the best seat in the house,” character actor Andy Devine said. “It’s a wonderful beginning of his dream,” Ray Bolger said of Walt and the new world. Actor Fess Parker, from television's Davy Crockett, enjoys a drink while gathering with others for the dedication ceremonies of Walt Disney World in October 1971. (File / Orlando Sentinel) One reporter noted that most stars were not dressed extraordinarily. An exception was actor Fess Parker. The man who played Daniel Boone arrived in a “mid-calf and collared mink cape around his shoulders.” Parker was 6-foot-6. He was asked if it was real fur. “Well, I’m not sure,” he said, “but it’s somethin’ from off the ground.” Former Mousketeer Annette Funicello exited the plane with a knitting kit and wearing a “two-tone brown, three-piece hot pants outfit” plus a Jacqueline Susann fertility symbol on a chain around her neck. Actor Fred MacMurray and his wife gather with others for the dedication ceremonies of Walt Disney World in October 1971. (File / Orlando Sentinel) Among the other stars in town for the dedication were Fred MacMurray, Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, Walter Brennan, Hugh O’Brien, Greg Morris, Jonathan Winters, Agnes Moorehead, Cesar Romero, Sebastian Cabot and Johnny Whitaker. Meredith Wilson of “The Music Man” fame led a band of 1,076 musicians down Main Street, where Julie Andrews also taped a segment for a network TV special. “Miss Andrews spent five hours under a broiling sun to film her section of the program,” the Sentinel reported. (She didn’t complain, the newspaper said.) Julie Andrews performs in front of Prince Charming Regal Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. (NBC / NBCUniversal via Getty Images) Once the actors were released into the theme park, autograph hounds followed them with mixed success. Morris was surrounded by fans while inside Hall of Presidents. Hudson reportedly wasn’t signing that day. “I asked Mr. Hudson for his autograph on the Skyride and he said ‘No, thank you, not today’,” Sandy Powers of Orlando told the Sentinel. She eased her hurt, the paper said, by explaining that Hudson “didn’t look as good in real life as he does on television.” Disney officials were on the scene, too, including Tommie Wilck, personal secretary for Walt Disney for the last eight years of his life. “Everything is so great. I think it’s just what he ordered,” she said. “This is so much bigger than Disneyland. So much bigger!” On Oct. 25, 1971, Roy O. Disney dedicated the theme park and declared that it would be known as "Walt Disney World" in his brother's honor. In his own words: "Everyone has heard of Ford cars. But have they all heard of Henry Ford, who started it all? Walt Disney World is in memory of the man who started it all, so people will know his name as long as Walt Disney World is here." (File / Orlando Sentinel) Roy Disney, Walt’s brother and chairman of Walt Disney Productions, spoke at the dedication ceremony near Magic Kingdom’s entrance, flanked by Mickey Mouse. Roy Disney came out of retirement after Walt died in 1966 for the Florida project. “May Walt Disney World bring joy and inspiration and new knowledge to all who come to this happy place … a Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages can laugh and play and learn — together,” Roy Disney said. Within two months, Roy Disney had died as well. Conductor Meredith Wilson, best known for writing the book, music, and lyrics for the 1957 hit Broadway musical The Music Man, leads the band for Walt Disney World's dedication ceremony in October 1971. (File / Orlando Sentinel) 1971 by the numbers The Orlando newspapers also ran off a slew of numbers in the buildup to the dedication of Walt Disney World. $400 million was listed as cost of Walt Disney World 75,000 visitors came to Magic Kingdom over the 3-day dedication 52,000 balloons were released after the dedication ceremony 16,000 people attended the dedication ceremony 12,000 was the capacity of the parking lot 500 white pigeons were released over Town Square as a symbol of hope for world peace 276 trombonists were part of the 1,076-piece marching band, which played “Seventy-six Trombones” 142 members from 60 countries were part of the World Symphony Orchestra, directed by Arthur Fiedler 50 cents was the parking fee $22 to $40 was the range of hotel rates at Disney World at the Contemporary and the Polynesian Village $6.50 got visitors a guided tour, which included Magic Kingdom admission, “six major adventures” and a personal tour guide Roy Disney is escorted by Bob Hope and others from the Contemporary Resort where many had gathered for the dedication ceremonies of Walt Disney World in October 1971.

We love all kinds of treats here at the Disney Food Blog, especially fall-inspired snacks like the Pumpkin Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich or the (strange, but good) Monster drink. Throughout the month, we’ve tried tons of Halloween treats in Disney World, but there are still more new fall treats to taste! Happy Halloween! While some of our favorite Halloween snacks can be found in the parks and Disney Springs, the Disney resorts have been known to create some unexpected winners as well! Recently, we made our way over to a Value Resorts to try the newest fall treat in Disney World; was it worth a visit? Beware of spiders on the new Spooky Apple Spiced Spider Cupcake! This treat is made of a vanilla cupcake with apple filling and a spiced buttercream, caramel drizzle, and sugar spiders. We’ve had other apple-filled cupcakes before, so we were curious just how this one would be! In terms of design, this cupcake gets quite a few points! It’s really cute with those spiders on top, and the bright color of the buttercream makes it fun for Halloween! Cute!! But, what about taste? We’ll start with the toppings. The spiders on top are made of sugar. They’re not overly sweet (which is nice) and they provide a nice crunchy, texture change to the otherwise soft treat. The icing is pretty sweet as it’s a vanilla buttercream, with a hint of cinnamon in it. The vanilla cake is very moist and yummy, just as a cupcake should be. Spooktacular! And, now we get to the most unique part of the cupcake — the apple filling! The filling was actually nice and fresh and had a light spice to it, which wasn’t overwhelming at all. The filling was also slightly cold, which was wonderfully refreshing on a hot Florida day. All together, the parts of the cupcake go together really well. There’s sweetness from the icing, a hint of spice in the buttercream, a freshness from the apples, and a crunch from the sugar spiders. We wish there had been a stronger spice flavor to really take this cupcake up a notch, but overall it was still very good. This Was a Really Good Treat! Our reporter who tried this said it’s probably one of their favorite cupcakes they’ve had recently on property because of its simplicity. Sometimes something simple done well is better than something overly complicated. A Look Inside! If you like apple and vanilla flavors, we have a feeling you’ll enjoy this. If those flavors aren’t your jam, then there are PLENTY of other cupcake options throughout Disney World you can try instead! If you do want to get this spooky cupcake, it can be yours for $5.49. According to Disney’s guide for Halloween, the treat is meant to be available right now through October 31st at the food courts for Disney’s Art of Animation, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, and Disney’s All-Star Music Resort. We checked some of the other spots earlier and couldn’t find it. But, today we found it over at the World Premiere Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort. Would You Try This Treat? A food court at a value resort might not be the first place you think of to go for tasty Disney World treats. But, sometimes these spots can produce some delicious snacks, especially when it comes to cupcakes! So, be sure to check those bakery cases and see what you find.

If you’re planning to visit Disney World you’ve likely taken a number of steps to prepare — packed your bags, booked your hotel, made your Park Pass reservations, etc. Rainy Day in the Magic Kingdom But there’s one big thing you definitely want to make sure you prepare for…the weather! The weather in Orlando can be hot and sunny, wet and rainy, and even surprisingly cold at times (and sometimes all 3 hit within a short period of time). If you’re planning to visit Disney World this week, we’ve got an important weather update for you. According to FOX 35 Orlando, Central Florida could be in for some severe weather this week. FOX Orlando shares that a strong cold front is set to swing across East Central Florida this week on Thursday. The cold front will increase “the threat for strong to severe storms and possibly isolated tornadoes.” ©FOX 35 News Orlando The increasing moisture ahead of the cold front, in addition to the warm air, will reportedly create an environment that is “favorable for storm development.” The FOX 35 Storm Meteorologist, Kristin Giannas, has said, “Our main threats as this front moves over the state will be strong gusty winds, lightning definitely a possibility as well as an isolated tornado.” ©FOX 35 News Orlando The National Weather Service Melbourne, FL has also issued a warning about the potential for severe weather on Thursday, the 28th. ©National Weather Service Melbourne Once the front clears, the weekend weather is set to be quite nice, with highs in the 70s and lows overnight in the 50s and 60s. On Halloween morning, you could wake up to some cool weather, with the morning temperature set to be around 59 degrees in Orlando. ©FOX 35 News Orlando According to WFTV, Thursday isn’t the only day you’ll want to be prepared for. A cold front is also set to arrive later today (Tuesday), which will bring in some cooler temperatures. Of course, the weather is subject to change. Still, if you’re planning to visit Orlando this week, be prepared in case you do encounter lots of rain and potentially some severe weather. We’ve got all kinds of resources to help you get ready: Click here to see what a “severe weather warning” day looks like in Disney World Get 4 important tips for handling severe weather warnings in Disney World See our list of the attractions that close when there is bad weather in Disney World And check out our video below about surviving Disney World weather.

Although the holidays seem to be sneaking their way into Disney World, it is still technically Halloween season, even if the Mickey pumpkin wreaths are now Cinderella pumpkin wreaths. Traditional Mickey pumpkin wreath decorations We’ve made our way through some fun Halloween snacks this year, but there’s still MORE to try. Today, we got the chance to try 2 NEW sweet Halloween snacks that donut fans might want to check out. For a very limited time, you can now grab The Great Pumpkin Donut from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs! This treat is made of a regular glazed donut that is topped with vanilla icing and white, black, and orange themed sprinkles. That’s all topped off with candy corn-studded buttercream and a Halloween-themed marshmallow candy. Our particular donut was topped with one that looked like Frankenstein! We also saw some others that looked like ghosts and black cats. So Fun! In terms of looks, this is one EXTRA Halloween donut (and we don’t mind that one bit!). In terms of texture, the donut was very soft and the sprinkles added a nice crunch. But, be warned: this donut is SWEET because of all of the icing and extra sweet toppings. If you like a little bit of sweetness but not a sugar overload, consider sharing this with someone else. It might be a bit difficult to eat all on your own just because of how sweet it is. Would You Try This Donut? If you’re not a big fan of icing or sweets, this might be a pass for you. If, however, you love classic donuts and want to add some Halloween flair to your treat, or you’ve got a big sweet tooth, this could be a great pick! A Peek Inside If you want to try this over-the-top spooky snack, it’s available now through October 31st at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew at Disney Springs. You can get it for $6.50. Time to Eat! While we were at Everglazed, we also picked up the seasonal Pumpkin Cake Donut, which is one we’ve had before. This donut is a pumpkin-spiced old fashioned donut that is glazed. Pumpkin Donut Our reporter who tried this is a self-proclaimed “lover of pumpkin” and said they absolutely adored this donut. It had a wonderful crust on the outside, and was not overly sweet. The pumpkin spice flavor really comes through and you can pick up on multiple fall spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and more. The Pumpkin Donut The donut was soft on the inside, but still had a bit more body and texture than a regular vanilla donut. The spices are a little strong, so if you’re not a big fall of those fall flavors, you might want to skip this one. Also, the donut isn’t too sweet, so if you’re looking for something extra sweet this might not be the best choice. But, if you love those fall spices and pumpkin, this is one we think you’ll really enjoy! Inside the Pumpkin Donut You can get this donut right now for a limited time for $4.75. Click here to see our review of the Pumpkin Cold Brew also at Everglazed! We’ll keep an eye out for more seasonal snacks, so be sure to check back with us for more updates!

Not too long ago, we were all gawking at the highly fashionable sea urchins of The Seas in EPCOT and their fun Mickey ears! Their mind-blowing style, which was fueled by the sea urchins’ natural instincts to find and wear anything that protects them, was the talk of the town. ©Disney However, these little guys weren’t finished! They’re back with an even BIGGER fashion statement this time! Yesterday at The Seas in EPCOT, we saw the usual Mickey sea urchin (as usual as that can be), but we saw something next level when we rounded the corner… Seems normal (as normal as a sea urchin wearing Mickey ears can be)… …a sea urchin wearing TWO sets of Mickey ears (and we thought that WE loved Mickey ears!). Honestly, we’re intimidated by this little guy’s love for Disney — we might need to hire him. I mean, who else do you know that wears this many Mickey ears at once?! Two hats?! Someone call Vogue, this sea urchin is ready for the runway! We’re always keeping up with the latest Disney news, so stay tuned here for more!

Before visiting Disney World, you’ll definitely want to check out the refurbishment calendar online to see what might be closed during your trip. Check online before your trip so that you aren’t surprised! Often, attractions will close for a short amount of time to get some maintenance and keep things spiffy, but sometimes those closures last longer than anticipated. The PeopleMover had a surprise closure of more than a year a while back, but one other Magic Kingdom ride has that one beat — the Walt Disney World Railroad. The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed since late 2018 due to construction on the Tron coaster in Tomorrowland. No end date was originally announced for the closure, but now it looks like the refurbishment will be extending into 2022, according to new hours posted on the Disney World website. ©Disney At this time, the train is listed on the refurbishment calendar through January 5th, 2022, which is the last day of park hours released currently. We’ll continue to check the calendar as more park hours are released. Disney hasn’t shared any updates on this refurbishment, but we’ll keep you updated if they release any details on either the Walt Disney World Railroad or the Tron coaster (it currently doesn’t have an opening date). The train station at the park entrance got a refurbishment, though! Stay tuned to DFB for more refurbishment news and updates from around Walt Disney World!

We’re always looking out for the newest snacks in Disney World, so it’s not unusual for us to have a cupcake or chicken tenders for breakfast. Welcome to Disney World! But recently, a brand-new menu item popped up that was actually meant to be eaten for breakfast! It might not look like breakfast (just wait ’til you see this adorable creation), but it was definitely the perfect start to our day. You can’t find this new dish in the Disney World parks, but lucky for us it wasn’t too far away. We headed down to the Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to try their newest breakfast item: Dynamite Cinnamon Roll Sticks. Whispering Canyon Cafe These are cinnamon rolls that are colored bright red and shaped to look like sticks of dynamite! Whispering Canyon Cafe is styled with Wild West decor, so A+ on hitting the theme. The presentation was superb — they even came standing up in a wooden crate. Dynamite Cinnamon Roll Sticks The wick that you see sticking out of the “dynamite” is chocolate-covered bacon, which was topped with crushed red hot candies. And a warm nut glaze came on the side, which you could drizzle over the cinnamon rolls yourself. Warm nut glaze Although they’re sticks of dynamite topped with red hot candies, these weren’t actually super spicy, in our opinion. There were bursts of cinnamon (especially if you got some of the candy), but nothing overpowering. Crushed candy on top Basically, these were deliciously gooey cinnamon rolls with an extra dose of cinnamon. We had dynamite for breakfast And then there was the chocolate bacon. Do we really need to say anything about that? It’s chocolate. Bacon. 10 out of 10 in our books. Chocolate. Bacon. Without the glaze, we think the rolls would have been WAY too dry. But since we could pour on as much nutty syrup as we wanted, that wasn’t really an issue. Here’s the inside We probably would have preferred icing to a glaze (like the icing on the cinnamon rolls they’re serving over at Gaston’s Tavern in the Magic Kingdom), but we still liked the glaze. It’s filled with pecans and is very tasty. Still super tasty! And if you know the Whispering Canyon Cafe, you’ll know about the sassy servers as well! When we asked for a to-go box (since this dish comes with FIVE cinnamon roll sticks and we just needed one to feel full), this is what we were brought: Er…thanks? The servers here are hilarious and fun! Basically, this was the perfect start to a Disney World morning. Five Dynamite Cinnamon Roll Sticks costs $12 (which is a STEAL, since they’re super shareable). Dynamite Cinnamon Rolls Head down to the Whispering Canyon Cafe to grab a dynamite breakfast! (No, we are not ashamed of that pun.) These aren’t on the menu yet, but just ask your server about them if you’re hoping to order some.

When you think of Disney World, you probably think of cherished family memories and happily ever afters. But, Disney can also have a…creepier side. Spooooooky castle! Between attractions, movies, merchandise, and more, here are all of the times that Disney has given us nightmares rather than sweet dreams of fairy tales. ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter Back in 1995, ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter attraction opened in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom and it was a TRUE horror-themed attraction. The original plan for the attraction involved having guests encounter xenomorphs, which were the species of alien featured in the 1979 movie Alien. However, Disney decided to take a different direction with the attraction and develop an original storyline because Alien was an R-rated movie and was deemed to be too scary. Though, you could find a scene from the film on the Great Movie Ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so the rights to the movie didn’t go to waste. Alien Encounter Promotional Art ©Disney So, instead, Disney sought help from George Lucas who developed a storyline for the ride in which guests become the helpless prey to a ravenous alien monster. So…not all that much less scary. In fact, just the pre-show was traumatizing enough — a sinister robot named S.I.R. demonstrated new teleportation technology that you were volunteering to test. To demonstrate, the robot used a cute alien but based on its screams it became clear to the audience that the technology wasn’t really all that advanced. The attraction itself was an immersive theater where guests were strapped down into a seat and the theater came to life around them with…well…aliens. In the pitch dark. So, harnessed into the seat, guests watched as something went astray with the teleportation device leading to a bloodthirsty alien being teleported into the room. And, that’s when the lights went dark. From there, the special effects in the theater made it so that you could hear, smell, and even feel the alien roaming the room around you. Plus, if the idea of a hungry alien lingering around the room didn’t scare you enough, a “maintenance technician” comes to try to help restore the power but after some gruesome sound effects, you were splashed with a warm liquid…we’ll let your imagination figure out what that was implying. So, definitely not the family-friendly ride that people had come to expect from Disney. Alien Encounter ©Disney Up until this point, the “scariest” rides that had opened up in the parks were the Haunted Mansion and the still VERY new Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. So that was what guests had to compare before hopping in line for this new ride with their kiddos. Needless to say, the attraction started to lose popularity among guests pretty quickly and it was eventually closed in 2003 to be replaced with an equally nightmare-inducing attraction (for totally different reasons!) — Stitch’s Great Escape. The “cute-ified” version of the attraction included almost all of the same effects and concept, except instead of a giant alien being transported into the room, Stitch was. And, he went on the same rampage through the room while guests were strapped down to their seats. Just sub out murder with eating hot dogs. That’s the basic gist. Kids were still walking out of the theater with all the terror needed for their nightmares so Disney closed the attraction temporarily, only reopening it at the busiest days of the year, until announcing its official removal in 2020. Stitch’s Great Escape ©Disney For now, the theater that stirred up a lot of tears and fears now sits abandoned with nothing new announced for the space.

Snow White’s Scary Adventure Another attraction that was known for causing children to have nightmares for months after returning from their Disney World vacation (also…umm…maybe well into adulthood? Just sayin’) was Snow White’s Scary Adventure. The ride was a classic dark ride involving loading into a slow-moving vehicle and journeying through a variety of different, often blacklit, scenes in the dark. ©Disney It initially opened in 1971 with a storyline that was deemed to be a little too scary for kids by their parents and later closed to be refurbished in 1994 to tone down the scary factor. Though it still terrified kiddos. The entire ride was filled with evil laughs from the Wicked Witch and music that made you feel like something just wasn’t right. And if that wasn’t enough, you stumbled upon the Evil Queen in her less flattering form A LOT. But really, this ride shouldn’t have been as scary to guests as it was — it was really just painted cutouts of the witch popping out at you throughout the ride. But, somehow it struck the wrong chord with people and many kids (including some DFB team members) rode it with their eyes squeezed shut the entire time. Snow White’s Scary Adventure was reimagined in Disneyland to be a bit…happier ©Disney The ride eventually closed in Disney World in 2012 to become what we now know as Princess Fairytale Hall and we got a much happier ride based on the classic Disney movie — Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. If you’re still dying to have the pants scared off of you by an inanimate object though, a version of this ride does still exist in Disneyland. Plus, the attraction even got a bit of a renovation in Disneyland recently to eliminate a few scares and make the attraction more immersive. Check Out 9 of the SCARIEST Rides in Disney World, According to You HERE! The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror Both of the previous attractions we’ve talked about here are now closed, but we can’t talk about scary things around the Disney Parks without talking about the Tower of Terror! Located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the attraction is all-around creepy from start to finish. Tower of Terror Beginning when you first step foot into the queue, you’re greeted by Cast Members who are in character all. of. the. time. and seemingly enjoy how creepy they get to act. And, the queue is almost scarier than the ride itself with ominous music, cobwebs in the “lobby” that make it feel like you’re entering a hotel that has been abandoned for good reason… This hotel could use a little upkeep! …including an offputting bust that feels like it’s watching you as you move. Oh hi there creepy And, when you finally make it to the pre-show, you step into a creepy library to learn about a variety of doomed hotel guests that were transported to the fifth dimension when (on Halloween night!) lightning struck the hotel and they vanished from the hotel’s elevator. You are now entering…The Twilight Zone You then venture down through the boiler room of the hotel (to make things even creepier) before loading into a rickety looking service elevator. Once you’re loaded into the elevator, you go up into even more creepy scenes where the same doomed guests appear in a spookier form waving to you (!!). Then you literally enter the Twilight Zone and soon enough you’re plummeting to the ground in a series of elevator drops. Why are they waving goodbye to us!? And, the scares aren’t over when you get to the bottom — there’s an infamous creepy doll waiting to greet you on your way back to the unloading area, if you are lucky enough to spot him. He’s actually named Caesar from a real episode of the show The Twilight Zone. Legend has it (yes, rides from 1994 have legends behind them) that if Cast Members don’t greet Caesar, he’ll cause mischief on the ride for the day. Casear the Dummy If the ride is down when you attempt to ride, someone must have forgotten to tell him “hi!” So, it really all combines to keep you on edge from first entering the queue all the way to when you get off the ride.

Disney Hotel Decorations Attractions aren’t the only thing in Disney World that have been known to cause a sleepless night or two — some Disney hotels are decorated with some rather terrifying props too! Over at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, you might find yourself stumbling upon some chairs that you just can’t unsee. These chairs are replicas of the ones that used to be found on carousels in the 19th century. Nannies would sit on them to relax while the kids rode, which is why they’re deemed “Nanny Chairs.” These ones have names just like many real nanny chairs did (named for the child the nanny was sitting) — meet Todd, Paul, Alex, and Carrie. Nanny Chairs And, if looking at them isn’t enough to freak you out at least a little, what’s even eerier is that they’re known to move around the resort and you never know exactly where you’ll spot them. So, yeah, creepy chairs with a personality of their very own…totally not creepy, Disney. (OK, so it’s really just Cast Members that enjoy moving the chairs around from time to time, but still. Spooooooky chaiiiirs!) Here’s a closer look…YIKES Disney’s BoardWalk Inn also used to be known for its terrifying clown slide and we’re not talking about the slide itself — you just have to give one glance to know what’s been haunting our nightmares for years. Luckily, this is a sight that you can’t see in Disney World anymore, as they recently renovated the slide to have less of the creepy clown vibe. Imagine if your pool view room had those eyes peering into your window all night long (yeah…the eyes LIT UP at night, further solidifying a place in your nighmares!). TERRIFYING But the BoardWalk Inn isn’t the only place to get spooked by decor — Disney’s All-Star Movies is also home to this bad boy. The GIANT Jack In the Box can be found in the Toy Story section of the resort and all you can do is try not to look up (or out your window) when you’re staying here to avoid the scare. Um…this guy is creepy. It’s really just not fair that these are located so close to where we sleep in Disney World, right? Did You Know About These 9 Hidden Secrets in Disney World Hotels? Disney Channel’s “Don’t Look Under the Bed” Well, if those decorations are enough to have you checking the room before you go to bed to make sure that nanny chairs haven’t mysteriously appeared in the corner, then this Disney Channel movie is DEFINITELY one that you’ll need to avoid. It’s pretty much every kid’s nightmare to wake up to a monster under the bed and that’s exactly what happened in Disney Channel’s Original movie Don’t Look Under the Bed. And yes, a Disney channel movie made the list. That’s just how creeptastic this is. ©Disney+ In the movie, a young girl discovers that there is an actual Boogie Man living under her bed and that monster is going around the neighborhood terrifying other children. Luckily, she ends up recruiting her brother’s imaginary friend to help get the monster out. But, the movie itself is actually pretty scary and even the commercials for it were known to cause some nightmares for kids. Click HERE for The SCARIEST Movies On Disney+ (Right Now) Mr. Boogedy/Bride of Boogedy And, there’s another Disney movie that was sure to scare you to the bone just by looking at the posters. ©Disney Mr. Boogedy was released in 1986 and followed the story of spooky ghosts who haunt the unassuming Davis family in a town called Lucifer Falls (yes, seriously). ©Disney+ And, a year later, this movie somehow got itself a sequel called Bride of Boogedy just to be sure that the kiddos wouldn’t sleep for another straight year (at least we didn’t). We Watched These 10 Super Creepy Movies on Disney+ So You Don’t Have To Disney Entertainment With a…Creepy Twist Now, at Disney World, we’re all for the upbeat music, fun dance moves, and catching some of our favorite characters on stage or making their way down the streets of the parks. But, that’s not always what you get when you sit down in the theater or stake out a spot on Main Street, U.S.A. Over the years countless children have been spooked by the glowing Spectromen that used to lead the SpectroMagic Parade in Disney World… ©Disney …and good luck to those who take their unsuspecting kids onto It’s Tough To Be a Bug in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It may be based on a cute Disney movie, but guests gathering into the theater are in for simulated bee stings, crawling spiders, and lots of other bugs that are unleashed during this attraction. It’s all in the name of fun, but still…total nightmare fuel. (Good luck confidently sitting all the way down on a seat in the dark after this show!) It’s Tough To Be A Bug Even Maleficent’s portion of the Festival of Fantasy Parade in Magic Kingdom is pretty nightmare-inducing — it’s a GIANT dragon and it seems like the performers are literally trying to scare you. Plus, Prince Phillip is fighting the dragon the whole time. Oh, and did we mention that Maleficent isn’t just spitting fire, she literally CAUGHT ON FIRE mid-parade a few years ago. That was NOT part of the plan but, for guests there, sure left them with a spooky memory! Maleficent Dragon And, speaking of parades, Disney unleashes the “Happy Haunts” from the Haunted Mansion on the streets of Magic Kingdom during a portion of the Boo To You Parade featured during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. When the holiday event was taking place (though it currently is not), the parade featured a full-blown Haunted Mansion section fit with gravediggers that used their shovels to VERY loudly scrape the pavement and create sparks on the ground. And, for many kids watching the parade, that’s when it stops being fun. Haunted Mansion Segment You know how lots of kids like to sit right at the front of the parade route? Imagine what looks like an undead person aggressively scratching a shovel inches from your face! In all fairness, this IS mega cool too and a part of the parade many guests look forward to most. But if you’re not expecting it, it can be loud and frightening! So, sometimes you’re not even safe in the parks! Check Out 10 Things That Are Surprisingly SCARY in Disney World HERE! Disney Merchandise Another place that you’re not suspecting to get a fright in Disney World is shops, but we’ve stumbled upon a few different items that still linger in our minds to this day. First up is the Stitch Crashes The Lion King Collection. Maybe it was the red eyes…or maybe it’s the weird slugs on his head, but the thought of this plush sitting in the room while we sleep is just…terrifying. What’s up with his RED eyes?! And, hey, we get it, sometimes the plush doesn’t turn out as cute as you want — we can forgive Disney for that. But, TWICE?! That’s right, Stitch isn’t the only plush that haunts our dreams. Disney also released a Simba plush that was one of the most terrifying versions of the little lion that we’ve ever laid our eyes on. Just look: I will NOT be sleeping tonight. But plush aren’t the only thing that guests who scare easy have needed to avert their eyes from throughout the years. We’ve also spotted an Alien Popcorn Bucket Keychain that looked like it was foaming at the mouth rather than serving up delicious buttery popcorn… What is going on here? …and if you’ve ever ventured into the Italy Pavilion at EPCOT, then you might know about the rather beautiful but also TERRIFYING masks that can be found inside the stores. Just as terrifying up close… While we sure do love adding Disney souvenirs to our home, these are ones that we’d rather not have anywhere near us when we sleep.
