Disney Trivia (Expert Edition)

[Zawadi]

As you have said Zawadi, they are only easy if you know the answers!

I remember the host saying there are 44 flags representing the flags that have flown at different times in the history of the United States.

Ah! You're the one that listens to the host.
44 flags is correct

Here's some more:

1. Within Epcot, where & how is Apollo 11 remembered?
2. What debuted on 01 October 1991?
3. Where on WDW Property would you find the Village Pizza Parlor?
4. The Hall of Flags displays how many flags?
5. Which resort pool contains around 231,610 gallons of water?

5.Fantasia pool at Disney’s All-Star Resort

5.Fantasia pool at Disney’s All-Star Resort

I'm very impressed!

For the Apollo 11 one, not sure if it's right, but I think I remember seeing a part in Spaceship Earth where one of the TV's was showing the moon landing in a scene.

A very good guess. I'm not sure which Apollo mission was shown but unfortunately it's not what I was after.

I think the answer you are looking for is in "The American Adventure? " In the montage of American accomplishments to the music of the theme song Golden Dreams.

I think the scene in Spaceship Earth is the Apollo 11 landing. I remember hearing "The Engle has landed" and "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". I'll have to check it out the next time I'm there!

[badkitty]

What debuted on 01 October 1991?

Are you looking for SpectroMagic?

IMHO, I wish the powers-that-be would bring back SpectroMagic to the MK and take MSEP back to California where it started. I miss MSEP and MK doesn't seem the same without SpectroMagic.

It make sense that Apollo11's landing is shown in Spaceship Earth.

It's amazing that when you have a specific answer in mind the alternative answers that Disney fans can come up with

The location that I had in mind is in Future World East and marks the event without showing Apollo11

Sorry not SpectroMagic. The event was in Epcot.

I just noticed I can't spell. Ugh. Everyone knows I meant "Eagle" not "Engle", right? "The Eagle has landed." Oops.

I know! Such fun!!

Oh! How about the photo of the Apollo 11 astronauts on the wall in the queue for Mission: Space?

[akaDisneyDreamer]

I am so confused! The answer to one of the trivia questions states that Spash Mountain opened up in 1992. I went to WDW in 1980 and was sure I rode Splash Mountain. I did not return to WDW until 2006, so I could not have possibly remembered wrong. I told my girls all about Spash Mountain, I knew the story and I told them how much I loved that ride and it was my favorite! (I also remember loving Big Thunder Mountain and It's a Small World from that trip.) How can this be? Was it called something else in 1980? Was it shut down and reopened in 1992? It would have been impossible for me to know and remember a ride that didn't exist and this is driving me crazy. I even googled it because I thought it must be a typo on Intercot! Please, I hope someone out there remembers something ...

I am so confused! The answer to one of the trivia questions states that Spash Mountain opened up in 1992. I went to WDW in 1980 and was sure I rode Splash Mountain.

I found this on the internet "On October 2,1992 Splash Mountain opened in Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World."

Splash Mountain wasn't even open until 1989 at Disneyland.

[akaDisneyDreamer]

I know ... that's what I found too, but I swear I remember the ride from the early 80's (pretty sure it was actually 1980). I absolutely did not go in 1992.

[caryrae]

Strange, I was looking at a list of all MK attractions (old and new) and can't find anything that would have been close to splash mountain.

[akaDisneyDreamer]

I know. You can't know how utterly confused I am right now. The first time I ever went was in 1980. My second trip was in 2006. My youngest daughter was 2 in 1992. In 2006 as we planned our trip, I told my daughters all about Spash Mountain and how great it was! I told them about the story that was told as you go through the ride ... how could I have known all about this? How could I have been so sure it was my favorite ride if it wasn't even there when I went?

[Zawadi]

Oh! How about the photo of the Apollo 11 astronauts on the wall in the queue for Mission: Space?

"queue" - How very English of you

I'll give you Mission Space. Again you have given an answer different to what I was expecting...

Outside Mission Space there is a replica of the moon with a red marker on it. The red marker, in the Sea of Tranquility, represents the location where Apollo11 landed.

[Zawadi]

That just leaves the following questions...

2) What debuted, in Epcot, on 01 October 1991?

3) Where on WDW Property would you find the Village Pizza Parlor?


Re: comments on Splash Mountain...

Splash Mountain's construction started in the early 1990s and required a total rework of Frontierland including the old railway station being demolished. WDW's Spash Mountain opened July 17, 1992 (3 years after the one in Disneyland)

[akaDisneyDreamer]

I've decided that either I rode Splash Mountain in a past life (lol!) or dreamed of it (saw the future?) I'm completely flabbergasted over this. I don't know how I knew so much about it that I actually told my daughters it was my favorite ride and that it told the story of Br'er Rabbit ... ? (I did ride a similar log ride at 6 Flags in the late 70's or early 80's as well, but it didn't tell any stories!) Anyway, I'm going to let it go now ... thanks for all the help.

Back to the remaining trivia questions ... you've got me stummped! I can't even find the answers on google!

[Zawadi]

I think that I'll have to come clean about the Village Pizza Parlor.

This is not a food outlet as such. It is something that you could easily walk past as it is simply a New York shop front in Streets of America
