At Disney parks, Cast Members use secret codes. This is so they can communicate with each other about things going on in the parks without all of the guests knowing exactly what’s going on.
We have some of these secret codes to share with you. If you ever hear the cast members say them, then you’ll have some insider info on what they are talking about.
Let’s get right into what these secret Disney codes are!
1. Code V
Code V is used when some accidentally spills a meal and it needs to be cleaned up. Cast members will them block off the area and get to work on cleaning.
2. AFR (Accidental Fecal Release)
AFR stands for accidental fecal release. Pretty gross, right?
This usually happens at the resort pools and water parks, not so much at the theme parks.
Cast members will close the area to clean up the fecal incident and make it safe for guests again.
3. Signal 25
Signal 25 is used when there is smoke or fire. This usually happens from fireworks and sometimes when an attraction malfunctions.
Cast members will say “signal 25” because saying “fire” would cause panic.
