While the masked characters aren't allowed to speak to the kids who are so fascinated by them, princesses do, which creates plenty of situations where they might have to take certain liberties with the truth—or else risk puncturing the fantasy. The folks at Mental Floss spoke with a person playing Mulan who was asked to speak Chinese: "She would respond, 'I bet Mushu if I could go an entire day without speaking Chinese, he'd feed the chickens for me tomorrow.' The same woman also played Silvermist the fairy. When kids asked her to fly, she would say, 'I'm saving my pixie dust for later.'

Like something out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the plants in Disneyland's Tomorrowland are actually edible. It grew out of the Space Age theme of the part of the park, going back to when it first opened in 1959. It's based on an idea the park's planners called "Agrifuture." As Disneyland's site explains, "The plants in Tomorrowland are meant to be edible! The visionary landscaping doubles as a potential farm, projecting an ecologically astute future, where humanity makes the most of its resources."
