Source: IN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Disney World is a magical place. Well, at least for us it is. And like any other magical place, it holds a chock full of secrets. Now, you may have heard about a few of them like the secret tunnels<\/a> underneath the Magic Kingdom, or the hidden water park<\/a> that’s been abandoned for years.<\/p>\n But did you know that another one of these secrets that is so out-in-the-open that usually people just forget to take note of it is “The Disney Point”.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The next time you visit the Disney World, makes sure to ask for directions from an employee or a character and you’ll notice that they never use a single finger and\/or particularly the index finger to point towards a direction or installation.<\/p>\n That’s because pointing a single finger is considered rude in many cultures around the world.<\/p>\n Source: IN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Instead, they use the first two fingers of the hand or the entirety of the same to do the job –\u00a0 a gesture popularly known as “The Disney Point”.<\/p>\n In many countries like China, Japan, Indonesia and the whole of Latin America, it is an offensive gesture to point a single finger. In African countries, the same is used only for something which isn’t alive. So, morbid humor clearly doesn’t work.<\/p>\n Disney takes utmost care in sensitizing its staff-members – and particularly those who interact with the visitors – to carious cultural practices from around the world. The not-pointing-the-single-finger is one among these.<\/p>\n Another popular legend associated with “The Disney Point” belongs to the man himself – Walt Disney. It is said that the custom of pointing with two fingers started with him and was later adopted into the practice it is now.<\/p>\n Who knows what the truth is, right? But at least we now know what we need to keep an eye out for the next time we visit Disney World, eh?<\/p>\n Have you ever noticed any such secrets exclusively to Disney World?
