I'd love to hear more about the Disney tunnel, Rob :)

If you're like me and you think Cedar Point should get the B/M Flyer in 2004, give me a "Hell Yeah!"
There isn't much more to the Disney tunnels than has been previously mentioned. There are pipes running along the walls for water and garbage removal. Hearing the garbage shooting down the system is funny at first but then you forget about it.
There is a main tunnel entrance behind Fantasyland. Here the opening is big enough for trucks to roll through, particularly the Brinks bank trucks. From here the tunnel shoots off in different directions. One tunnel shoots basically down the center of the Kingdom from Fantasyland, under the castle, to Main Street. Like spokes, another tunnel shoots left down to Tomorrowland and then back to Main Street. The other shoots right toward Adventureland and then over to Main Street. The shape of the tunnels resembles a pentagon with another tunnel up the middle.
The uniform distribution and locker rooms are down under Fantasyland as is the barbershop. There is a smaller Break area directly underneath the Town Square. The Main Cafeteria is under Fantasyland where Small World sits.
Park/land access is available all along the tunnels. Adventureland comes up in the former Veranda restaurant. There is also an access up inside Hall of Presidents. You can see the base of Alien Encounter down in a portion of the tunnels.
Busses take cast members from the tunnel entrance back to the cast parking areas way behind the back of the Kingdom, past the monorail and train maintenance areas. Disney University is also back in that area.
Other than that, the smell isn't too great (due to the garbage disposal system) and it is, well, greasy. I recall being very careful on the step b/c it was sort of grimy.
