Rawr!! Fact: Disney's Magic Kingdom is built on a tunnel system that allows characters to leave one area, enter the tunnels, and pop up all the way on the other side of the park. This was done in an effort to make it more magical, and so that the characters wouldn't get swamped with people, and so you didn't have a character just walking through the park. <3 Preserving the Magic one day at a time!
