Creator's Key Takeaways
Cast compliments don't go unnoticed. If you have this amazing interaction with a cast member, whether they provide you with a magical moment or they help you out of a sticky Disney vacation situation or they even just brighten your day with a fun and genuine interaction, you can go on your My Disney Experience app and drop them a cast compliment.
Magic Kingdom has an underground tunnel system called the utility doors that are strictly for cast member use only. Unless you book a Keys to the Kingdom tour, which gives you 5 hours of back-to-back behind-the-scenes access to some of Magic Kingdom's most restricted locations, you're never going to see these tunnels without becoming a cast member yourself.
Bibbid Bobby Boutique over in Fantasy Land is well known for its over-the-top royal Disney makeover sessions for kids. However, there is one option that nobody talks about that won't break the bank, and it's the night package. It comes complete with a sword, a shield, hair gel, and even confetti. And it's only $19.99.
There are no lost kids, only lost grown-ups. The cold signal 70 deserves its own point because cast members go through a lot of training to handle this one. Signal 70 refers to a lost parent.
