4. The hitching posts on Main Street are painted every night

Disney is known for how much detail they put into everything but did you know that each night, the hitching posts are stripped and repainted so they look fresh the next morning for guests?

No store in Disney is allowed to sell gum, a caution to keep the pavement as clean as possible

7. Presidental Fashion

Each presidents outfit in the Hall of President's is made tailored to their time Era. If there wasn't a sewing machine in their time, then Disney makes their suit hand-stitched. Another fun fact....Bill Clinton is made to be wearing his favorite Iron Man Watch

8. Every costume is handmade

The Presidents aren't the only ones to get handmade costumes. Each costume at Disney is handmade to create authenticity and detail.

All spayed and neutered and properly taken care of, Disneyland is actually home to about 200 cats..what did those cats do to get lucky with such a sweet gig?

10. A Lifetime Of Disney Hotels

If you were to stay in each Disney World Hotel Room for 1 night, it would take you about 68 years.....68 years in Disney? Doesn't sound too bad to me.
