Everyone take a minute and list your best secrets for those leaving soon...you know, the things that not everyone sees as they are rushing to the next attraction or the show that's never full...

Here are mine:

Epcot - Future World, don't miss the "Jammitors" - they are a group of street performers who make percussion music on their trash cans and whatever else they can find. They dress like janitors and "jam" - cute, huh?
Epcot - World Showcase - don't miss the candy sculptor in the courtyard in Japan. She's not there everyday. She uses candy like clay and shapes it into wonderful lollipops for the kids - free of charge.
Haunted Mansion "Inside Story" at Magic Kingdom - you go through different rooms while on the ride - living room, dining room, etc. You end up in the attic and then fall out the window of the house. When you see the bride and your car turns around, look over to the right and you'll be able to see the window - the outside of the house - and that's how you end up in the cemetary. I had never noticed that before.
When you go to the Magic Kingdom - go to the candy store on the right hand side (as you're looking at the castle) on the corner - not the one closest to the Town Square, but a block closer to the castle. Pick up the old phone on the wall inside - you can hear an old fashion party line conversation going on between a mother and her daughter. Don't be surprised if the mother yells at you to hang up the phone and to stop being a nosy biddy body!!!
At MGM - go see Gene Kelly's Singin' in the Rain umbrella - It's located right across the street from where the Hunchback show used to be - if you don't know where that is, just ask a CM and they'll tell you. People will walk up to the umbrella and step underneath it for a picture. What they may not know, is that when you step on the plate in the ground, under the umbrella,
it starts to rain all around the umbrella! Without realizing that the rain will stop as soon as they step off the pressure plate, many people will try to run - and end up wet when they really didn't have to!
If you happen to be at the Animal Kingdom Lodge when it's dark, look for the CM with the night vision goggles. It's wonderful watching the animals in the dark.
Every cashier at the counter service restaurants at WDW actually has two lines that they service - one on either side of them. So if there is only one line on the right, go to the left. They alternate between right and left lines when taking orders.
Every restaurant in WDW will give you the recipe to any dish you ask about. They will either give it to you on the spot, email you with it, or send them to you in the mail.
