When you visit a Disney theme park you might hear certain numbers or phrases spoken as “code” between Cast Members or announcements. Yes they mean something and we are going to look at some of those codes so you will know what they mean next time.
Code 101– Not something you want to hear.
When you hear “Code 101” or “101” it means that the ride you are waiting in line for is shutting down. This could be due to a number of factors.
Code 102 – Much better news
This code indicates that the shutdown attraction is about to open.
Code A / White Powder – Is ghastly
Someone dumped ash remains in an attraction. Do not do this. It is a biohazard that shuts down attractions while it is being cleaned up.
Your loved one is not getting to stay as a resident of the Haunted Mansion.
Code H / Code Honey/ AFR – It’s not honey.
This is to represent the Pooh in Winnie the Pooh. So someone decided to poop somewhere they should not or had an accident.
Code V or Protein Spill- Not a fun one.
If you hear this it means someone vomited.
Code Alpha / Alpha Unit – Is very serious
Code Alpha means an ambulance is needed. Alpha Unit can also be used to alert Cast Members that a medical team is needed or is incoming.
Signal 25 – Fireworks
