I was born and raised Disney, even went to Walt Disney Elementary. I now live in Utah and teach 5th and 6th grade. I pass on my Disney love to each of them. I've even seen some of my students at DL on our off-track times.
Realized I didn't post this in the lounge, and nobody has won it it, so trying it again in the right area. My Pinocchio inspired bow! I made an extra one to RAK. If you see me say "hi water retaining seacow" and it's yours.
#Anaheim history: There are actually no tennis courts in the DL parks and hotels on property. The last tennis court facility went the way of the the Fujishige strawberry fields. It was on walnut near ball road and was razed for the Mickey and friends parking structure back in the late 90's. - Plumiegirl3306.9 #10 4-1-13 9:31PMLike Reply

A little bit of trivia for today:
Walt Disney holds the record for both the number of Academy Award nominations (with 59) and the number of awarded Oscars (22). He has also earned four honorary Oscars.
Obviously because he's the best!

Got this as my trivia of the day. What was the first toy to air on television?
The answer: The first toy advertised on television was Mr. Potato Head. Introduced in 1952, it grossed $4 million in his very first year. The original Mr. Potato Head was a collection of parts with which children would use real potatoes to make countless faces. It was eight years before the plastic potato body was included.

So is anyone near alice? Is the wait time really 1 min, or is someone entering incorrect times? I love that ride and don't want to rush over there if it's actually a long line.
