Before the fireworks, Tinkerbell herself would fly from the top tower of Cinderella’s Castle on a wire. It’s long been rumored that Tinkerbell is actually a man. While it’s impossible to prove this, one fun fact is that Tinkerbell very well could be played by a man. There are no gender requirements, only that Tinkerbell must be petite and fit a very specific height and weight requirement. They’re paid a massive amount of money just because it’s hard to find people of the right body type to play her.

Each of the towers on Cinderella’s Castle are numbered 1-29, but there’s only 27 towers. Why? Well, originally, the Imagineers designed the castle to have 29 towers, but ultimately decided to cut two of the towers out. Those towers wouldn’t have been visible from any direction, so they were deemed unnecessary.
