Trivia (Disney)

Well, I'm going out of town for a few days. Visiting Stephanie.

So, I'm going to ask four questions for today and the three days I'll be gone. All of these are based on Disney World. Let's go!

One:

Epcot has a very iconic symbol, a giant silver ball. Often called "The Golf Ball", this structure actually houses a ride about the history of mankind.

What is the name of this sphere?




Two:

The great sphere in Question One is 180 feet tall. The Magic Kingdom houses Cinderella's Castle at 189 feet tall, though it appears taller due to forced perspective. The Hollywood Tower of Terror was the tallest structure in the resort at 199 feet until Animal Kingdom's Expedition Everest trumped it at 199.5 feet.

So the question is: Why are all the current attractions in Walt Disney World under 200 feet tall?






Three:

In the Magic Kingdom is Tomorrowland, "the future that never was". It's modeled after 20th Century comic book ideals of the future. Inside Tomorrowland are several unique features that entertain guests, including performing characters. One, however, is perhaps more unexpected than the rest.

What is the name of the talking trash can found in Tomorrowland?



Four:

Disney never calls anything by its name. This helps maintain the idea that Disney World is in fact a world unto itself.

What are employees called at Walt Disney World?


The answers will be found on Monday here along with all the answers to the questions asked this month. Enjoy.
