Did you know that Disney Cast Members communicate with secret codes? Here are just a few of our favorites:
Codes:
1. Code 101 — This code is used when a ride has to close for any reason. Cast members do not want to use words like “shut down” or “closed”.
2. Code 102 — This is a happy code. It means the ride that was closed is now open again.
3. Code “P” — This code is used to request custodial maintenance on a ride for “certain embarrassing mishaps” on a ride or attraction.
4. Code “V|” — Along the same lines as Code “P”, this code is a custodial request for “whoops, I ate too much” cleanup on a ride or attraction.
5. “Signal 70” — This is one code that hopefully is used very little because it signals a lost child.
6. “Signal 25” — This is another code cast members do not want to use very often. It signals a fire.
