Inside the top-secret area of Disney World that theme park visitors and cast members never see

In Disney World’s Central Shops, electricians, carpenters, and painters construct parts of character costumes and tweak theme-park rides.

Roughly half a mile behind the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Ariel’s Grotto in Walt Disney World sits a nondescript cement warehouse with the words “the can-do people” written on the outside. Should tourists somehow get lost in that corner, located just outside the Magic Kingdom, it’s a place they would never pay attention to. What they might never imagine, however, is that generic building is the lynchpin of the Disney experience.
