What is Disney Tips, Trivia & Tidbits? Whatever I, and you, want it to be. What have YOU always wanted to know about Disney? I'm most familiar with WDW, but I have been to Disneyland and California Adventures, although it's been many years. We visited 4 or 5 times.
So, my Disney days will just be any bit of information that pops into my head, and if any of you want to hit me up on Twitter, email, or leave a comment here, I'll be glad to answer questions.

Disney tends to make last minute changes to attractions that the public don't tend to see, past "soft openings" for cast members. Here are a few notable changes that's come to some attractions that you may not have known about.
Kilimanjaro Safaris - in the original storyline, poachers caught and "killed" Little Red, the animatronic elephant centered around the story. At the end, guests rode past his little bloody body, sans tusks. Guests who saw this during the soft openings started sending in the complaints as the scene scared kids and adults alike and before the park officially opened to the public, the ride ending was changed where Little Red is safe and sound, waggling his ears at you.
Test Track - it was a loooooooong road for Test Track before it was opened up, as it was delayed several times. TT is a car ride going through the paces of what cars go through for testing. At the end, it opens up to an outside track, zooming around at high speeds, before descending a slight hill to go back inside the building. The ride was delayed because the cars went so fast they actually left the track and would crash into the wall above the tunnel going back inside. There was always a new crazy story from TT when it was in testing (I worked in Epcot at the time) and it didn't seem like that ride would ever open.
Dinosaur - Not only did Dinosaur get a new ride sequence, but it got a new name, changing from the original "Countdown to Extinction". The name change happened with the release of the movie by the same name - hoping to boost both, though the movie didn't do well. But long before that, the ride sequence itself was changed as early iterations were too rough that it made people get motion sickness. Before opening to the public, they tamed it down quite a bunch.
Did you know about these changes? Does it surprise you that things are different than how they end up once they open to the public?
