I think that it is about time that this thread was resurrected.

Recap of the rules:
5 Disney related trivia questions are posted. Once all questions have been correctly answered somebody else posts the next set.

How many hotdogs are consumed in WDW each year?
Where in WDW would you find the tallest Christmas Tree?
How many miles does the WDW bus fleet cover per year?
What is special about the height of the Hollywood Tower Hotel?
How many towers are there on Cinderella's Castle?

No idea on items 1, 2, 3, or 5.

But I believe what is special about the height of ToT (And Expedition Everest as well), is that they are both under 200 feet tall. If they were 200 feet or taller, then they would need lights on them to ward off aircraft...and that just ain't Disney.

1. 5 million hot dogs are consumed each year
2. Contemporary Resort has the tallest christmas tree
3. 15 million miles are covered by the bus fleet each year
4.Its 199 feet because if it was 200 feet the FAA would require a light beacon on the top
5. 18 towers on Cinderella's castle

Excellent. Well Done,
However to answer them within 23 minutes, they must have been too easy

Your turn

1. Magic Kingdom Railroad

Joannelet · #10 10-31-2009, 07:06 AM

#1 has the correct answer! Magic Kingdom Railroad!

reneeandmark · #11 10-31-2009, 08:49 AM

Just a guess, mind you... but it would seem to me that #4 might possibly be TTA (formerly WEDway). I know it was ORIGINALLY to be in EPCOT and was tested in DL, so it might fit your criteria.

K, here you definitely have number 3 correct.
Number 4 and 5 are incorrect.
You are right with number 5 being the amt of land that The Walt Disney Company owns TODAY. However back then it was a slightly different number when Walt and Roy purchased it......I'm looking for a different amt of acres....

Number 4 and 5 are still open

Nope not TTA. Keep guessing

#5: Not sure of the total figure but in 1964 Robert Price (a.k.a. Disney Lawyer Robert Foster) agreed to an option to purchase 12,400 acres in Florida owned by three Orlando home builders for US$145 per acre. Also documented are the purchase of 1250 acres of land north of Bay Lake and a 8500 acre cattle ranch in Osceola County
