According to modern legend, Walt Disney was bothered by the sight of a cowboy walking through Disneyland's Tomorrowland enroute to his post in Frontierland.[1] He felt that such a sight was jarring, and detracted from the guest experience. When the Florida park was being planned, engineers designed utilidors to keep park operations out of guests' sight.
The utilidors are built on 9 acres (36,000 m2), and the floor plan is a circle with a path down the middle. The tunnel walls are color-coded to make it simple for users to determine their location. The utilidors can be accessed from a main tunnel entrance located behind Fantasyland, or through unmarked doors throughout the Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom cast members park about one mile (1.6 km) away and are transported via a Disney bus to the tunnel. Some shops, restaurants and attractions have direct access to the utilidors.
Does someone have the name of some songs on the playlist of the utilidors?
ReplyDeleteI even miss that part of MK.
When I was there (my college program just ended), it seemed to be a loop of a lot of popular songs. I remember hearing Someone Like You by Adele, When I Die Young (don't know the artist), even Lady Gaga (The Edge of Glory?)
DeleteDo you know is there're such utilidors under Disneyland Paris?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this article anyways! ;)
