Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

So you all already know that I heart Disney.  So this shouldn't be too difficult for me.  But there is such an overwhelming amount of Disney trivia, that I'm afraid we might drown.  So I'm going to try to keep it short, simple and fun.  And possibly interesting.  Also,  you should know that my photo is of me in MGM Studios, which opened on May 1, 1989.  Have funnnnnnn...

   

1. What attraction at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World was originally conceived as a Disneyland attraction to be called One Nation Under God?

a. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
b. The Hall of Presidents
c. Splash Mountain
d. Pirates of the Caribbean

b. The Hall of Presidents, which is the only place in the world other than the White House that is allowed to use the Official Presidential Seal (It's in the carpet in the rotunda.  I always laugh at tourists taking a picture of that, because it's not real.  And I'm a snob from D.C.)

And OHMYGOD, while researching for this I found so many websites who are excessively more crazy and obsessed than I will ever be.  Sure I love Disney, but I have not let it take over my life.  And if it ever does, please intervene.  And you know how you see people videotaping EVERYTHING at theme parks, like every ride they're on and movie they see, and the entire fireworks show and you think to yourself "are they really going to ever watch this??"  Well, apparently all those people digitize their videos and put them on YouTube so others can be bored to death too.  I mean, I love those rides and fireworks, but seriously, you're going to watch that on your computer??  Of another family??  I think I'm turning into a cynic.

And here are some random facts from www.disneyworldtrivia.com:

- There are enough of the famous "Mouse Ear" hats sold each year to cover the head of every man, woman and child in Pittsburgh and enough Disney character T-shirts are sold in Walt Disney World each year to put Mickey Mouse's smiling face on the chest of every person in Chicago.

- According to Kodak, 4% of all amateur photographs worldwide are taken at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

- Disney World bought about 150,000 gallons of paint -- enough to cover nearly 7,500 average sized homes in 2004.

- If you were to stack all of the buttons used by the Costuming Plant Seam Team in one year, you would have a stack 96 times taller than the height of Cinderella's Castle. (Seriously though, who measures this?)

- Every year, Walt Disney World:
Uses 194,871 miles of toilet tissue
Uses 24,409 miles of paper towels
Uses 319,353 lbs. of chocolate
Uses 1.2 million pounds of watermelon
Uses 741,150 pounds of sugar
Uses 1.8 million pounds of flour
Uses 245,000 pounds of fruit filling
Uses 38,000 pounds of white icing glaze
Uses 2.9 million pounds of eggs
Uses 606,000 pounds of bananas
Uses 510,000 of grapes
Serves more than 1.5 million soft pretzels
Serves more than 639,000 pounds of macaroni and cheese
Orders more than 3.8 million ballpoint pens
Orders more than 337,000 pencils
Uses nearly 148 million sheets of recycled copier paper
Uses 730,102 gallons of bleach 

These people make me seem like a normal person.  Even though I do own those ears.

Wait is that true that they aren't allowed to point?

[Lauren]

That video is amazing

[Tori]

I can't believe you're more shocked by the fact that employees can't point than by the fact that Disney refuses to hire short people.

[D.C.]

Julie Andrews... the only living septuagenarian I'd like to fuck. (FYI, Betty White is an octogenarian. MMMmmm.)

[D.C.]

Also, referring the guy in that last video:
He must have skipped a lot of football practice to get that dance just right. His dad must be upset.

[the mayor]

imagine all the conversations that led to the creation of that video. also, why are toilet paper and paper towels measured in miles rather than rolls? that don't make any kind of sense.

[Tori]

Good point Mayor! Because really, I have no fucking clue how long a roll of toilet paper is . . .
