Interesting Disney information or trivia

Ever feel like it takes longer to walk into Disneyland than it does to leave? That's a trick purposely played on your senses. The Disneyland architects use "forced perspective" on Main Street to make the road going toward Sleeping Beauty's castle seem longer than when you're on your way out. The windows on the second floor of the buildings are smaller than the first, the buildings curve in slightly, and other subtle tricks make the excitement of entering Disneyland seem to last longer.

The Haunted Mansion is actually located outside of Disneyland. When you walk through the portrait hall on the way to the "stretching" room, you're really walking under Disney's railroad tracks toward a soundstage-like building outside of the park. The stretching room is really an elevator that takes you underground into this soundstage.
