Re: Its the Little Things that Count
Here's some more I found on a website:
If you're passing the Haunted Mansion at night, look up above the door to the top floor of the house, and you might just see two shadows walking by holding a lantern. If you look closely at the "real" front door to the Haunted Mansion (not where guests enter the attraction), you will notice that the the two columns along side the door are actually shaped like coffins! In the Haunted Mansion, take a good look at the wall as you exit your Doombuggy at the end of the ride. The torches there are held up by what seem to be arms of ghosts. After you pass through the Haunted Mansion's library, you are presented with an eerie piano, apparently playing by itself. However, if you look at the floor in front of it, you will see the shadow of a wretched ghost playing the haunting tune. In front of the piano on the floor is the piano stool, and three sheets of music. A close inspection of the music reveals that that one of the sheets contains staff lines, but no notes, meaning the poor composer never lived to complete his work, and is doomed to haunt the mansion until it is finished. The piano itself is an original, built by the Schomacker Piano Co. out of Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . The piano is believed to have been built somewhere between 1870 and 1890. Fans of Mr. Toad can still see their lovable green friend hidden away in the cheerful Pooh attraction. He can be seen handing over the deed to the property on the left wall of the scene in Owl's house - one of the first scenes in the new ride. And, in a final gesture of remembrance, Cast Members in the Magic Kingdom have named one of their break rooms the "J. Thaddeus Toad Memorial Room." Slippin' Falls is the name of the first drop for Splash Mountain. You can see the sign near the stairs on the right hand side as you approach the drop.

Re: Its the Little Things that Count
Inside the Muppet store, you can see the actual doors/set from the Muppet Show. It's totally cool. Especially the sign that hangs there about disturbing them...
In front of the Mann's Chinese Theater (the Great Movie Ride for those of you who don't know Mann's), you can find R2D2's and C3PO's footprints. The AT-AT not only blows smoke, but it also shoots water. The Coke Bottle that's out of its 6-pack blows it's top occasionally, and sprays everyone around it. If you stay at the AKL, you can go feed flamingos.
