Interesting Walt Disney World Resort Facts!

[disneylover1955]

I figured since I started one for Disneyland I would start one for Walt Disney World. I am very curious to see what new facts I can learn about Walt Disney World. So feel free to share what you know!

My favorite interesting fact is the Rock 'N' Roller Coaster Limo License plates and their corresponding songs!
o 1QKLIMO: “Nine Lives”
o UGOGIRL: “Love in an Elevator” & “Walk This Way”
o BUHBYE: “Young Lust”, “F.I.N.E.*” & “Love in an Elevator" (which was written as Love In A Roller Coaster)”
o H8TRFFC: “Back in the Saddle” & “Dude (Looks Like a Lady)”
o 2FAST4U: “Sweet Emotion”(live)

Hmmmm...... where have I seen that post before? Hahaha.

Also, out of Disney World's approximate 28,000 acres only about 9,800 has been used

Which is about a 1/4 of the land they own. Which is absolutely insane if you really think about it.

It really is! I still can't believe it!

[SirScott99]

Yeah i know its actually quite large but you don't actually think about it or feel it when you're there.

How many bricks make up the entire strucutre of Cinderella Castle? and what is the tallest structure in WDW?

Don't know the bricks but isn't the tallest the Castle?

I recently found out that Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin uses the same track layout as If You Had Wings and Delta Dreamflight! Also the the speed tunnel is the original speed tunnel from If You Had Wings and Delta Dreamflight!

Seriously? Do you not drive around property yourself? If you drive around yourself then you definitely realize it.

Tallest? Hmm....I'd have to guess the Tree of Life.

[SirScott99]

Nope. The tallest structure is actually Tower of Terror at 199 feet. There are 0 bricks that make up the structure of Cinderella Castle which I believe is 189 feet

I knew that from riding Dreamflight. I still think of it every time I come to that spot in the ride

Ahhh. And because it's all fiber glass

Darn it was a toss up and I remember the Tower now! Its just under 200 so they don't have to put that flashing light on the top!

[SirScott99]

Ahhh. And because it's all fiber glass

Yeah and I didn't know Buzz and Dreamflight had the same track but I figured it did. I was very young when Dreamflight was still around but I seem to remember the cars moving the same way

Awww don't worry HHGFG you can miss that and I'll miss Horizons!

That's actually correct. Were you serious when you posted that or just taking a guess? Haha.

Ahhh got another one. The opening day guest count at Magic Kingdom was 10,000 guests

[disneylover1955]

Another fact or secret I love is the tributes you can find to Horizons!

Mission: SPACE offers tribute to Horizons where the gravity wheel in the ride queue has the Horizons logo.

or inside Space Mountain where one of the bags in the post-show for the ride (located on guests' left at the start of the exit moving sidewalk) features the words "Mesa Verde" written on it!

No totally serious because Disneyland did the same thing!

It was so low because people were afraid it'd be a disaster like Disneyland's opening

They've actually begun selling some of the land around the edges that they don't think they will ever get to use. My house is built on some of that land which is why I'm literally behind the Magic Kingdom!

And if you want to feel it, do one of the runDisney races I admit, one of the reasons I want to work up to the Marathon is to see all four parks in under 7 hours

[disneylover1955]

HA HA Or because no one wanted to go to Florida!

I didn't know that!

what??? why the hate? I'm just telling the truth! At least it's what they tell you during the Keys to the Kingdom tour.

[disneylover1955]

Just getting defensive about my home park! Even if it was a disastrous opening!

Keys to the Kingdom Tour was beast! My sister can't wait to do that next year when shes 16

[Silvered]

I didn't know that!

I don't know if they are anymore, as this was before the economy crashed and land prices were really high but developers were paying as the housing market was good (or at least that's what Pulte told us). I bet they stopped when the housing market fell out. But I could care less because I can see Wishes from my back window

Just accept it, just accept!!

It is amazing. I'd love to do it again. I'd even enjoy giving the tour

You don't need a roommate do you?

[disneylover1955]

Just accept it, just accept!!

I just cant!

[disneylover1955]

Honestly this doesn't surprise me for some reason!

More than 50 million Cokes are consumed each year at Walt Disney World Resort. Guests also gobble 10 million hamburgers, 7 million hot dogs, 9 million pounds of french fries and more than 300,000 pounds of popcorn.
