Q: What's the tallest building/structure at Walt Disney World?
A: If you said Cinderella's castle...your're wrong! It's actually the Tower of Terror at MGM that takes the top prize (pun intended) at 199 feet tall. So what about Cinderella's castle? It comes in second at 183 feet.
Q: The Magic Kingdom was the first theme park to open...what was the second Disney World Orlando theme park and when did it open?
A: It was EPCOT, and it opened it's doors on October 1st, 1982. It was originally known as "EPCOT Center", but today it's just EPCOT.
Q: Speaking of EPCOT, what does EPCOT stand for?
A: Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.
Q: Which is the most recent Disney World theme park to open?
A: Animal Kingdom, and it opened on April 22, 1998. What makes this unusual? Because all the other Disney World theme parks opened on the first day of their respective months!
Q:Who is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit?
A: Before Mickey was "born" in Steamboat Willie, Oswald was the animated character who was Mickey's predecessor.
Q: What year did FastPass debute at the Disney World theme parks?
A: In 1999 (what took 'em so long?).
Q: How many stone/concrete bricks are in Cinderella's castle?
A: Would you believe none? The construction is all fiberglass!
Q: When the Magic Kingdom opened, what were the "E Ticket" rides?
A: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Small World and the Hall of Presidents.
Q: What were "E Tickets"?
A: Hard to imagine, but when Disney first opened (and for many years thereafter), you were issued a book of ride tickets -- kind of like you would get at a carnival or fair. The book had A through E tickets, with the E tickets being the best rides (so naturally you didn't get many of those). If you wanted extra tickets, you had to buy them at little kiosks. It's so much nicer now with no ride tickets, unless you count FastPass!
Q: What's the name of the Blizzard Beach mascot?
A: Did you even know there was one? Yep, it's Ice Gator.
Q: What is Big Bertha and where is it/she found?
A: If you look around in the Grand Floridian Resort, you'll find Big Bertha -- a fairground organ!
Q: Where is the "Happiest cruised that ever sailed" located?
A: You probably guessed already, but in case you didn't know -- Small World lays claim to that!
Q: Name all the "lands" in the Magic Kingdom.
A: Adventureland, Liberty Square, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Mickey's ToonTown Fair and last but not least -- Main Street.
Q: How tall would Mickey have to be to fit in the sorcerer's hat that sits in the middle of MGM?
A: A whopping 352 feet tall! (I don't know about you, but I think that's one big mouse!)
