From James Rao

Greg, is it the vacuum trash setup that resides underground?
If so, then here is the next question: what was the last attraction built that was personally supervised by Walt Disney?

Who directed the construction of Walt Disney World?

Which parks and which lands are the Haunted Mansion located in around the world? and what is unique about the Haunted Mansion's land placement?
From James Rao
Posted February 11, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Greg, it may not have been the answer you were looking for, but the vacuum system under WDW is one of the largest in the world....look at #9 on the list at this
link.
I bet there are a LOT of things at WDW that are the largest in the world! ;)
Sorry, Corey, I don't have the answer for your trivia question, but I had to defend myself!
And now back to your regularly scheduled thread....
Haunted Mansion Stuff:
WDW: In Liberty Square
DL: In New Orlands Place
DLP: In Fronterland
TDL: In Fantasyland
Other facts: DL and DLP are actually elevators in which you move down while WDW and TDL the ceiling moves up (not a elevator). Also DLP's has a complete differnt storyline about a bride being terrorized by an evil phantom while the others pretty much follow the same storyline with WDW and TDL being almost exactly the same!
So my question is: What are the names of the hitchhinking ghosts?
I love these questions.
The answer I believe is Gus, Ezra, and Pheneus
And the unique fact about HM is that its the only attraction in a different land in each park that it's in
On what date did the 2 billionth guest visit Disneyland?
Doh!
May 2 2006
That one was tough.
Here's one that's eaiser:
What attraction used to be housed where the current Buzz Lightyear is today at Disneyland?
There have been multiple attractions there...first was Circarama/Circlevision 360, and then it was the queue building for Rocket Rods
Name 2 unique facts that make the Mr. Potato Head Animatronic in Toy Story Mania the most advanced WDI has ever created.
he is the first attraction-based Audio-Animatronics performer ever created by Walt Disney Imagineering that can engage in conversation with Guests for as long as they choose to hang around with him.
Thanks to a new "Guest Location Grid" monitor, the eyes have the ability to look at an individual Guest and make them absolutely believe he is focused and talking directly to them
What was the first location where Disneyland was planned to be built? (not anaheim)
I believe it was supposed to be at the Disney Studios backlot.
Who is Disneyland's 1,000th ghost?
From Tim W
Posted February 12, 2009 at 11:18 AM
Los Angeles. What was the planned overlay for the Living Seas? Before nemo came there was another plan for the living seas based off of a disney movie.
From Greg Bark
Posted February 11, 2009 at 4:15 PM
I see that no one knows; I got it off of a resort bus driver. He told me that the Magic Kingdom had one of the largest PARKING LOTS in the world!
------------------------------------------------
Actually, go to Universal Orlando to see the two largest (both same size) parking lots in the world!
Don't know about Living With The Seas question.
Give us a clue Tim! I don't really think I understand the question.
From Tim W
Posted February 13, 2009 at 4:43 AM
no answers? Ok well actually in the mid 90s they planned a litlle mermaid theme for the living seas. Ok so next question: how many total finding nemo attractions are there in EVERY disney park? Add em up how many are there?
I am going with three: two at WDW and one at DL. I am probably wrong
I believe there are 6, 3 that Anthony said and then the ones outside the US.
Next questions is there a restroom anywhere in Liberty Square in the Magic Kingdom? If so where?
There are 3 at WDW: The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Turtle Talk with Crush, and Finding Nemo the Musical....2 at DL: Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage and Turtle Talk with Crush...and 1 at Disney Studios Paris: Crush's Coaster..and there was a mobile Turtle Talk at HK Disneyland for a while
That makes the total 7! Woo hoo! gotta love that little lost clownfish
Oh btw, as to the Mr. Potato Head AA, another couple of cool facts: He is the first AA to be able to remove a body part, and he has the most recorded lines of dialogue for any AA ever
Next question then, speaking of Nemo, how many different individual sea creatures reside in the Seas with Nemo and Friends aquarium?
From Tim W
Posted February 13, 2009 at 1:02 PM
one source says more than 60 different and another source says more than 100. ive also found conflicting numbers on the total number of sea creatures in the pavillion, while one says 2000, another says 8500. not sure if thats completely right corey.. as for the other question i believe there is a restroom in columbia harbour house.
What is the only country name actually written somewhere on a part of "it's a small world"? Note, it could be a person, object, or anything.
The answer was 8500...at least thats what I was told in my training to work there
Not sure the answer to your question though
From Tim W
Posted February 13, 2009 at 7:50 PM
ill give you a hint. Its in the south american room
Hey Tim your actually wrong! The correct answer is there ISN'T any restroom in Liberty Square. There is a bathroom in Columbia Harbor House but technically that area of the restaurant is in Fantasyland and not in Liberty Square! I learned that when I did the Keys to the Kingdom Tour.
Lets keep the questions rolling!
What holiday is being celebrated at the Tower of Terror? At least at DHS.
I believe it is Halloween
From Ben James
Posted February 13, 2009 at 11:11 PM
The correct answer to the TOT question is Friday the 13th. i.e. 13 story drops.
-----------------------------------------------
What were the names used to purchase land in Orlando for WDW?
Actually the 13 stories is just because of the superstition surrounding the number 13 as being unlucky, and how some hotels, especially back then didn't have a 13th floor, because of the superstition; hence why the Hollywood Tower Hotel only had 12 floors, and the 13th floor is the Twilight Zone dimension..
The holiday is Halloween, 1939
As to the other question, the most famous of those companies was M.T. Lott (like empty lot)
A Muppets rethemeing was planned, but never developed, for what WDW ride?
From Tim W
Posted February 14, 2009 at 7:13 AM

WOW good question Tim!! I really dont know and cant find it anywhere!

Well to keep this rolling. If you took an old Disney MGM Studios park map (I know its DHS but this questions it is specific for MGM's time and before the sorcerors hat), and flipped it upside down what Disney characters' face can you see the middle of the map?

From Tim W
Posted February 21, 2009 at 2:45 PM
looks like andrew posted around the same time i did. i believe its the living seas....not quite sure
I actually think that its the Land. Speaking of the land, name the former occupants of the area that is now home to Soarin's queue.
It is the Land, Ive been in the underground area many times....and Food Rocks used to be where Soarin's queue is
What James Horner movie theme is used as one of the songs played during Epcot's Fountain of Nations fountain dance?
Before food rocks was Kitchen Cabaret, I don't know about your question though.
Just wanted everyone to know. I do not know the answers to most of the questions, but it is really interesting to keep up with your responses. Keep it up!

Posted February 21, 2009 at 11:33 PM
The Rocketeer.
Which Disney attraction has the most Audio-Animatronics?
I am going to guess Its a Small World, but its probably wrong.
From Tim W
Posted February 22, 2009 at 10:30 AM
yea i have to agree with anthony on its a small world. at first i actually thought hall of presidents but then that seems more logical. i just looked that there are 289 aas inside at WDW. im not sure what else could beat that!
From Raul Araoz
Posted February 22, 2009 at 12:37 PM
You're both right. So, Anthony gets next question.
Here is one that is a bit in debate, but I heard it somewhere:
What is the only World Showcase Pavillion not to have a Public Restroom?
Discuss........
Well this answer is subjective...I used to have to clear Epcot of all Guests after the park closed, and we had to go inside every restroom to check for Guests...there was some restroom facilities in every pavilion...it all depends what you call "public"....some pavilions only have restrooms in the restaurants, which may seem private, but at Disney they are more public...we don't have rules that say you have to be eating at a restaurant to use the facilities
I know Norway, China, Germany, U.K., and France have restrooms ... I'm going to guess Canada doesn't have a washroom.
On the topic of World Showcase, which pavilion's decor is actually a mirrored version (i.e. backwards) of its inspiration?
Italy
What are the 2 hidden mickeys you see during Soarin?
BTW, the answer that I heard and have been going with is France. "Public" is not having to walk through a resturant to get there like France which you gotta walk through "Chefs"
From Tim W
Posted February 23, 2009 at 3:14 PM
ok the fireworks at the end. And the on on the golf ball that has the effect that it flies into the audience. i think there may also be one in a mickey balloon in the baloon scene. i think theres a man holding a mickey balloon.
So my next question is which engineering design for another WDW attraction is closely related to that of Soarin?
Soarin utilizes the same cables and motor system as the Tower of Terror.
What is the biggest hotel or resort at WDW?
Disney's Pop Century Resort.
What is the first film in history to use stereophonic sound?
Fantasia
Name some of the fake companies (like two) that Walt Disney used to buy the land in FL?
Ummm...Anthony we already had that question! Could you please ask another?
Whoops, I must have missed that! My bad!
How many bricks make up Cinderella's Castle?
Hopefully that wasn't asked!
None! They are all fake! It is all fiberglass

Posted February 26, 2009 at 3:55 PM

Sorry for taking so long - MARK 1 was the correct answer - ALWEG was the company.
yeah that it was tough...I only know because I practically lived at DHS for 6 months...Harry Potter is one, others are The Magnificent Seven, Superman, Singin in the Rain, The Wizard of Oz, and I believe Mission: Impossible
Alright, a bit easier..what two attractions did Pooh's Playful Spot and the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh replace respectively at MK?
Pooh Playful Spot was originally 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was Mr. Toads Wild Ride! I dont know if y'all know but Mr. Toad has a picture in the ride giving the deed of the building to Owl!
My next question is: What state and city did the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights come from?
Little Rock, Arkansas
