17 Disney World Hacks Only Employees Know

Disney World has a top-secret underground trash system

In order to remove the trash from the park, Disney World needs an automated vacuum collection system that works in the majority of the park’s vast underground utilidors, but also underground tunnels.

To use that system, custodians need to remove trash and then dump it into special processors. And from there, it is carried underground and carried along at 60 miles per hour to another central location where it’s processed, compressed, and then transferred to a landfill or recycling center.

There’s a whole other world of tunnels below guests’ feet

Besides the AVAC system, Disney’s utilidors are also seen as home by a gigantic network of underground tunnels that help cast members to smoothly navigate the park. All the tunnel walls are nicely color-coded, so the cast members will easily know where they are.

If they go in the wrong direction, that’s fine, because they also have a golf cart-like battery-operated vehicle (even if an ambulance might drive through the utilidor system in case of any emergency). Guests on the Keys in the Kingdom tour might be the only ones permitted in the tunnels.
