Is there really a city underneath Disneyland.?

Answer 1

I don't know about DisneyLand. But under Disney World there is an intricate complex large enough that people call it a city, yes. Mostly it's employee service areas, break rooms, lockers, that type of thing. They call the series of tunnels that connect the different parks etc the "utilidor". I've been down there but it was years ago... I can only imagine it is more complex now.

Answer 2

No, there is no city underneath Disneyland (Anaheim, California).

And contrary to popular beliefs, there also isn't a complex tunnel system either. There are a few short corridors or hallways, and there are "basements" in the buildings backstage, and some of the attractions are built below ground level, but there isn't any network of tunnels leading all throughout the underground or backstage of Disneyland.

I think what people get confused about is that Disneyland DOES have things that were built underground. There ARE rooms/basements and such that are built below ground level, but it's not like they're actual tunnels connecting all over underground. For instance, West Side Diner is a dining area and kitchen for Disneyland Cast Members located backstage of the New Orleans Square area...to get to this, you go DOWN some stairs, but anyone who has been down there realizes you're still not technically underground, the way the building was built and the land it's on, etc. I guess it's kind of hard for me to describe to people who have never seen all the little corners of Disneyland, but I'm trying to do my best! =P

Also, like someone mentioned above, yes there's a tunnel under the Club Buzz/Tomorrowland Terrace stage so that the bands can get there easily.

Oh! And someone mentioned the "basketball court" in the Matterhorn...and that is actually partly true. Although it's not a COURT or anything...it's basically more like a "half-court" if that even, and there's a basketball hoop and ball up there. It's really nothing more than a "break area" for the Matterhorn climbers. But anyway, I've been up there. =P

Answer 3

No.

Under Disney World's Magic Kingdom there is a series of interconnected tunnels called Utilidors, built rather like the spokes of a wheel with the hub under Cinderella's Castle. The story is that Walt saw cast members at Disneyland walking to work across the park in their uniform which was out-of-place; ie space suits in Frontierland. So when the plans for Disney World were being developed, they decided to build the Utilidors on the ground floor, and all the attractions above. No other park in Disney World has a tunnel system.

Disneyland does have a few basements, but there is no connecting tunnel linking them all together. Under New Orleans Square there is a kitchen and the cast cafeteria. Under Tomorrowland are a few basements and band access to the subterranean Tomorrowland Terrace stage which rises to park level like an elevator.

Some areas of the park do go below ground level a bit. Space Mountain is set underground slightly so that it wouldn't dwarf the Castle. Indy, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, and Small World all use different methods to get the guests underneath the Disneyland Railroad and into the show buildings on the backlot. But no, there is no city under Disneyland.

Answer 4

NO Disneyland does not have a "city" in which you are talking about.

Disneyworld's Magic Kingdom and EPCOT (Future World not World Showcase) have a "city" underneath them.

They have garbage disposals, people walk from place to place, and so on. The reason is so guests don't have to interfere with the employees going from area to area. Those are the "cities".

Disneyland was the first and Walt thought it was a failure based on the tourist area around the park. His ideas lead to the Magic Kingdom being built, and this utidor. He was never alive to build the Magic Kingdom at Disneyworld, or EPCOT.

That "city" below raises up the Magic Kingdom so it is even easier to see the castle, and the whole complex.

Answer 5

No, but underneath Disney World they have the utilidor, where the employees come to and from work, get in their costumes, eat, use the restroom, etc. It was created because in Disneyland Walt would see cowboys from frontierland walking through future world, and it ruined the effect. So when they started Disney World, they amde the utilidor.

Answer 6

Yes. There is a entire complex built underneath the concrete. This is how the workers get around without being seen. It also has many kitchens, locker rooms, storage rooms, and things like that. Also, where club buzz is, that stage leads to the underground tunnels. If you look really hard when you're there, you can find doors in places that blend in. There are doors by the rock formation near the Buzz Lightyear astro blasters ride. Also where the Pochahontis collauge is, that is a door.

Answer 7

No It's not a real city like Orlando or Anaheim. Just an underground complex with tunnels to transport workers, cast members and others from all points on the surface. The are also commissaries though out the underground complex for the cast members.

Answer 8

Not so much a city, but yes, there is a lot going on under Disney. There is a Machine Shop that makes and repairs parts for the rides. There is also all kinds of underground walkways to different areas of the park. They are mostly used for discreet travel to different areas. Such as costumed employees, so you NEVER see two Mickeys or Donalds anywhere near each other.

Answer 9

Bush's Daughter has the right idea. There's not an actual "city" perse, but there's plenty of tunnels and offices and such underneath the park.

I hear there's even a mini basketball court inside the Matterhorn...there's a fun tidbit to research! ;)

Answer 10

Yes, and no. It's not a city, per se, it is a series of tunnels and offices. Disney does not want the magic interrupted by having people see the food delivery, sanitary suppliers, and workers coming and going, so they use these underground access areas.
