Disney Uses This Ingenious Tactic to Control Guest Behavior

A Disney Park visit is certainly an experience to write home about. With four Disney Theme Parks located at Walt Disney World Resort in Central Florida and two at Disneyland Resort in Southern California, there is much adventure and excitement on offer for Guests to enjoy. From the iconic Magic Kingdom Park to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Park to Disney California Adventure Park at Disneyland, each Disney Park has its unique attractions and rides that cater to visitors from all around the world.

In order to keep the Parks running smoothly, Disney has a variety of strategies and tactics in place, including rules that Guests have to follow while on the property—be that a dress code or behavioral policy—that demands a certain decorum from Park-goers. Recently, one TikTok account demonstrated another way in which Disney sub-consciously controls and guides Guest behavior and its clever.

Color.

As you can see in the video below, the user puts forth that Disney uses different kinds of colors—some of them unique to the Disney Parks—to guide Guests to behave in certain ways. The OP highlights “Blending Blue” and “Go Away Green,” which are two Disney-specific shades of blue and green, were engineered by Walt Disney Imagineering to make your eyes ignore than.

“Blending Blue” is designed to blend parts of the building into the sky, considering that Central Florida was much more vast and sprawling and unlike in Disneyland, there were fewer buildings around to disguise certain constructed elements on ride structures and other buildings.

“Go Away Green” was designed to “erase” buildings from view. Disney Cast Members aren’t always able to construct or deconstruct buildings, and so Disney uses the color to let Guests’ eyes gloss over the color and, therefore, the buildings.

The Mouselets also adds yellow and red as colors Disney uses to indicate warning and danger, as we often use in the world outside of Disney as well. Finally, the OP adds Disney uses white as the color of the future. Disney uses white to represent futuristic themes in Disney’s Hollywood Studios Theme Park, EPCOT, and Tomorrowland as white is “clean,” “brand new,” and we associate it with futuristic things.

It’s certainly a creative way to keep things running smoothly in a Disney Resort.
