FEATURE ARTICLE
The Unheralded Treasures of Walt Disney World
by
Mike Scopa
AllEars(R) Feature Writer
About 18 years ago, while visiting Walt Disney World with my
family, something caught my eye. This happened one night in the
then Disney-MGM Studios theme park. It was a warm summer evening
and I remember walking near The Great Movie Ride. It was dusk
and as I got closer to the attraction I could hear a very soft
and melancholy musical rendition of "Somewhere over the
Rainbow."
I can't tell you how soothing and relaxing that music sounded
that evening. I remember thinking to myself, "Wow, you'll never
see that in a brochure or in a vacation video."
That night ended with us enjoying the park's signature fireworks
display, "Sorcery in the Sky," but all I could think about was
that little gem of a moment earlier in the evening.
As I drove back to our room I started thinking about a few other
things I experienced on that trip. Each one fell into the same
category... a nameless category filled with memorable moments
that I had never expected or anticipated for the trip.
I kept thinking that perhaps other guests also had these
unexpected special experiences, and I kept on reaching for
something, some word or combination of words to describe them.
Finally it came to me.
Since these were unexpected yet special moments to me they can
be best described as "Unheralded Treasures."
If I were to give a proper definition, the words would say, "An
Unheralded Treasure of Walt Disney World is a non-marketed
place, a sound, a sight, or a combination of any of these three
elements, which makes for a special guest experience."
It's unheralded because it is not at the forefront of Disney
marketing. We do not see or read about it on the official Walt
Disney World website, or in promotional brochures or park
guides, and we certainly do not see it on those promotional
vacation DVDs.
It's a treasure because it will be a special moment that you
will never forget -- a lingering gem of a memory of your time at
Walt Disney World.
I'd like to share a couple of these with you and perhaps trigger
a thought or two as to what treasures you may have discovered on
one of your own recent trips.
Remember -- an unheralded treasure is not heavily marketed or
advertised and does not receive the marketing push, such as the
drop sensation of Splash Mountain, the weightlessness of
Mission: SPACE, the rush of the Rock 'N' Roller Coaster launch,
or the fear factor of Dinosaur. Its value lies in the enrichment
value to the guest who takes the time to add this treasure to
their itinerary.
So here are a few of my favorite Walt Disney World Unheralded
Treasures.
The Magic Kingdom
Treasure: The Talking Trashcan
Location: Tomorrowland (just outside Mickey's Star Traders)
Like Animal Kingdom's Talking Palm Tree, who you will meet later
in this article, this unheralded treasure brings delight to the
children who are fortunate to be in this area of Tomorrowland
when Mr. Trashcan is out and about. This talkative refuse
container sometimes wanders into stores but mostly he stays
outside and talks and sometimes follows guests, especially
children, as they wander through Tomorrowland. Personally I find
it more entertaining for adults to watch this mobile chattering
trashcan amaze the children as he interacts and chats with them.
The next time you are in Tomorrowland, and especially just
outside Mickey's Star Traders, look for a crowd of children
talking to a very mobile trashcan. You will be entertained.
How does he work? Look around.
Disney's Hollywood Studios
Treasure: Indiana Jones Set
Location: To the right of the Indiana Jones Outpost
As you walk past the Prime Time Cafe and the Indiana Jones
Outpost you will see, tucked away in a corner, a display of
props used in the "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade" movie.
You will recognize the vehicles and especially that famous tank.
Unless you happen to attend the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular
and exit to the left you may never even know this exhibit is
there. It has been there for a long time and the overgrowth may
hide some of the vehicles... but they are there. This is also a
quiet area tucked away in a corner of the Hollywood Studios
theme park. Enjoy it.
Epcot
Treasure: Epcot Tribute Museum
Location: Behind Club Cool
Unfortunately this may be a temporary treasure. Behind Club Cool
there is an area devoted to the history of Epcot. In this area
you can see models of many of the original Epcot pavilions, a
promotion video for the opening of Epcot, and some exhibits of
pavilions past and present. It is an extremely pleasant and
nostalgic look at the beginning of Epcot and my fear is that
this treasure will not be around for long. If you are a fan of
Epcot and especially a former Epcot attraction known as
Horizons, this treasure is for you.
Animal Kingdom
Treasure: Talking Palm Tree
Location: Between bag check and the turnstiles
Just after bag check and before you approach the Animal Kingdom
turnstile area you may notice a very mobile palm tree conversing
with guests, especially children. This unheralded treasure
introduces young guests into the environment upon which they are
about to enter. The fascination on the faces of the children as
this tree (commonly known as Wes Palm) converses with them is
priceless. The adults can have fun trying to figure out how the
tree works. If you look very carefully around you the answer
will appear. Of course, if you've already seen his cousin the
talking trashcan in Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland, then you may
already know how this tree interacts with everyone.
Resorts
Treasure: Sunset Point
Location: Polynesian Resort
This area is found behind the Tokelau Longhouse. It is marked by
a long walkway out to a point surrounded by several palm trees.
This is an outstanding location from which to watch the Magic
Kingdom fireworks or just to enjoy a quiet moment and watch the
ferry boats travel across the seven Seas Lagoon. It's one of the
most romantic spots in Walt Disney World.
Treasure: Generation Gap Bridge
Location: Pop Century Resort
This is one of my favorite places to just sit and think. It is
most comforting either very late at night or in the pre-dawn
hours when there is nary another person around. The bridge is
lit in part by signs depicting the decades in fonts associated
with each decade. If you walk to the end of the bridge and sit
down and listen, you can hear the water softly lapping against
the bridge footings or hear the ducks out for a swim.

As reported by a reader a week or so ago, the Backstage Magic

A story reported in the Orlando Sentinel indicates that Disney's
Treehouse Villas, a community of 60 two-story units located in
the Downtown Disney area, are slated to be torn down and
replaced. According to plans approved by the South Florida Water
Management District earlier this month, the new units will be
even more treehouse-like, supported by sets of pilings. A Disney
spokesperson said at least some of the new units would be
available for use by resort visitors -- the first time any of
the Treehouse Villas have been open to the public in several
years. The Treehouse Villas first opened in 1975, were renovated
in 1987, then converted to housing in 1996 for the short-lived
Disney Institute. There is no indication whether the new
Treehouse Villas will be rented as lodging, sold as Disney
Vacation Club timeshares, or both.

our visit at the end of January, the Kilauea Torte at Kona Cafe
is made with a chocolate chip cookie-type dough instead of
chocolate brownie. The sauce is still extremely rich, dark
chocolate. It was still good, but not what I was expecting. Our

it's permanent.

LAST WEEK'S MOUSY MINDBOGGLER:
This week we have another "Before and After" challenge. We gave
the descriptions of two Disney-related terms (restaurant, shop,
attraction, parade, event, etc.) that have a common word joining
them in the middle. The solution is a new, combined
Disney-related term.
For example:
One of Epcot's newest thrill rides +
one of WDW's favorite roller coasters in the dark =
Mission: SPACE Mountain (Mission:SPACE + Space Mountain)
Here's this week's Before and After Challenge:
A place for purchases at a particular value resort
+
A hip, happening shop at Downtown Disney's western port
=
???
SOLUTION:
Everything POP
+
Pop Gallery
=
Everything POP Gallery
(Mindboggler's Note: For those who submitted Maestro Mickey +
Mickey's Groove... well, technically, Mickey and Mickey's are
not the same word, so it was not the solution the Mindboggler
was looking for. Thanks for playing, though!)
Congratulations to Frances M. of Massachusetts, whose email was
chosen from among about 135 submitted with the correct answer
this week. Frances will receive a beautiful Disney snowglobe
courtesy of Shontell Crawford and http://www.dvcbyresale.com/ --
a perfect year-round reminder of the Disney Magic!
Many thanks to all of you for playing!
