Speaker 1 (00:01):
There's a TikTok that's going viral right now, and it's
not ours. It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
How can it not be ours?

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Week?

Speaker 1 (00:11):
It's a picture of Disney World and it says, give
me your most unhinged Disney fact.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
I love the.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, I'm not talking like Walt Disney's bodies cryogentically frozen
underneath Disneyland. I mean it says, give me the real
tea And hundreds of thousands of comments later, tea was spilt.
But again, these are just comments. It's not like a
magazine or a news article with verified sources. It's just
what some random people claim they know. So my producer

(00:44):
and I curated our own list from the comments and
sent them over to Brook to do some digging and
find out are they true? Magic or tragic? Not real?
Just made up things?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
The reason and you said I never used my journalism degree.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
It is search. I'll read the fact and then Brooke
will tell us true or false, magic or tragic. Yes,
So let's go right, it's a fact. Number one. Someone
said on the grounds of Disney World, there's a super
elite neighborhood of multimillion dollar homes called Golden.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Oak and Jeff, that is magic.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yes, that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah. They range from five to twenty million dollars. I'm
showing you a picture of one of them. And they
come with like crazy perks like firework views and access
to private lounges at bull.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
And the coolest thing is they have little hidden mickeys
in your house.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
So say, have you looked at renting these?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Number two? At Animal Kingdom, you can't bring in a
balloon because it disturbs the animals. So you have to
check your balloon into a balloon daycare at Guest Services
and they'll give you a report for the balloon about
its day, like it was a real kid. Is that
true or is that false?

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Brook that my friend is magic. There's a balloon daycare
and I have a picture of what you get at
the end of the day. It lets you know if
your balloon played well with other balloon maybe they ate
some snacks.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
And if your balloon bit and popped another balloon, do
you have to reimburse the other family for their balloons?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Didn't research on what happens when a balloon.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
With misbehaved balloons that gets dark. I want to do
a follow up after this is done, but we'll go
to the next fun fact about Disney We're finding out
if these are real magic or just made up. Tragic
Number three someone said back in the eighties, Disneyland had
a rule where if a pregnant woman delivered a baby
inside the park, her baby would get a lifetime pass.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Then they stopped the rule after too many people were
trying purposely to have their babies. What is that?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
One's tragic?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
That's true, there's no evidence that the policy ever existed.
I do like to imagine a woman delivering on the
matterhorn personally, just some thrill to it.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
You are over extending your research here.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Wouldn't it be a fun roller coaster picture of you
mid birth?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, Cord, you're actually gonna buy that one different type
of splash Mountain Number four. One single churro cart inside
Disneyland can bring in around two million dollars in sales
a year fall just one churro car.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Okay. The information I got from this was a TikToker
walking up to a churro cart lady in Disney World
and asked her, like, how much did you make today?
And she pulled out the stats and they said five
five hundred dollars for the day, which I did the
multiplication and it's over two million.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, I'm not going.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
To check that.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Number five fun fact about Disneyland. We're trying to figure
out if these are true or false books done the research.
It's there's a secret apartment inside the castle that you
can rent, but at night they lock you inside it
with a guard outside your door, so you can't wander
around the park.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
This one is tragic ish okay, yeah, you because there
is a private invitation only suite called Cinderella Castle Suite.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
But it's not open to the public.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, it's literally.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Been in line for riding the person in front of
me one night in there.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
No person ahead of me.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
It was originally built for Walt Disney's family for key parties.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Cool. Number six fun fact Walt Disney bought his mother
a home. There was a fire and she passed away
in the house. And that's why one parent seems to
be missing in all of the classic Disney movies like
Ariel and Jasmine have only their dad. So is that true?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Well, it's kind of magic, very tragic.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
The reason that the movies are missing a parent is
because of the stories they're based on, Like for like
The Little Mermaid, that story was originally published in like
eighteen thirty seven or something like long before.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, yeah, you're saying her mom deserved it. Yeah, got it.
Let's keep going again. We're reviewing these These are crazy
people shared fun facts that they know about Disney on TikTok.
We took our favorite ones and had Brooke research if
they're really true or if somebody just made it up.
Number seven, there's a wild bobcat that lives backstage behind Epcot.
Disney refuses to do anything about it because it keeps

(05:33):
the population of bunnies down from eating all of their flowers.
Is that real, brook or is that made up? The heck?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
This one is kind of tragic ish as well, because
there probably is a bobcat living on the Disney World
resort properties Florida.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, but their like whole approach to wildlife is maintaining
the healthy and balanced ecosystem. It's not because of the flowers.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Right.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
I looked it up and you could see poisonous snakes
on the property. Yeah, yeah, know that they're real, Okay,
And report of there's been otters armadillos, coyotes, wild hogs
to Florida.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
You go up to it thinking it's a part of
the past.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, especially the wild hog.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I mean, yeah, they can lion king the whole card.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
We're running out of time, but I really want to
know the answer to this one real quick. Number eight.
Disney has multiple lawyers at every park, just sitting around
in case someone gets injured so they can cut you
a check on the spot. Tell me it's true, Tell
me it's true.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
I can't find one case where someone got paid on
the spot, so I'm gonna say unconfirmed when you look
it up. There is like a trillion law firms waiting
to sue Disney, so they want you to call them.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
If anybody could cover up the fact that they're giving
out checks, it's Disney. So I'm not surprised.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Well, there's a lot of people on Reddit trying to
figure out if they have a case or not. That's
the ball.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
It's a secret lawyer, and those are your magic or
tragic facts about Disney. Actually learned a lot today. Your
phone's apps coming up up right after this
