Do you want me to give you the exact acre since no one seemed to answer this one and you have a lot of info on it....plus you were correct with the amt of acres that they own today.....Let me know unless you want me to see if someone else chimes in......

K!
Here is the answer to number 5!
In total there were 27,443 acres or 43 square miles of property purchased at a cost of a little more than $5 million. (although in one other place I have seen it for 27,800 acres so I would have taken either). Today the Walt Disney Company owns over 30,000 acres.

Recorded in 1963. When Mel discovered that Orville would be smoking a cigar, he recorded the voice with a pencil in his mouth!

It only takes 3m:12s to cover the 3403 ft of track.

Close enough - Mojave Oil Co. whose logo is also on the gas pumps at Oscar's Super Service Station (stroller rental place)

Good answer but not what I'm looking for.
Hint: The answer is not related to the actual persons but a namesake.

They both have vehicles named after them at Magic Kingdom, is that the answer you were looking for?
Admiral Joe Fowler's name was given to one of the ferry boats that take guests from the Transportation & Ticket Centre to Magic Kingdom and vice versa. This is the boat with green panelling. The blue panelled boat is the General Joe Potter while the red panelled boat is the Richard F. Irvine.
Roy O. Disney is the name of train number 4 on the Walt Disney World Railroad. Train number 1 is the Walter E. Disney and Train number 3 is the Roger E. Broggie. Train number 2 is the Lilly Belle, this one has been semi-retired from passenger service these days but is the show train that takes Mickey & Co. to the front gate on opening. She is then put on standby in the roundhouse as cover for if one of the other trains encounters problems.
Disney World Visits:
1. May-June 1998 (3 weeks)
2. May-June 2001 (3 weeks)
3. October-November 2004 (2 weeks)
4. August-September 2010 (2 weeks)
5. August-September 2017 (2 weeks)
NOW APPROACHING: 6. May 2021

You are SO, SO CLOSE!
There is a specific item that common to both the boat (Adirmal Joe Fowler), but not the one that is in service, and Engine #4 (Roy O. Disney)
