Is it the Mickey on top of the spire and ball at the entrance to DHS? I can't tell how tall he is because it's so high up...but he looks to be about the right height...and he greets you as you walk to the front gate.

I have a question:

How many people did Walt Disney originally think would reside in his idea of 'EPCOT?'

Thanks to bus trivia when I went in 2006 I know this answer. If I remember correctly it is about 20,000.

Bus trivia was what I experienced when we had a bus driver who asked us all these Disney questions with a lot focusing on EPCOT. Needless to say nobody knew this on the bus. So my disney trip became educational.

Yes, it is 20,000 and it was 20,000 young, healthy adults. Disney did not want retired persons living there. It was intended to be an ideal communal city with everyone working. No welfare in EPCOT. Too bad it didn't come to fruition.

Yup! It's 20,000. And I just have to say, I would want to be one of those young, healthy adults living there.

Now that would be what I call living. Okay, so staying with EPCOT. When you go on Soarin' and are put into the your rows to be loaded. The flight attendant (CM) will get on and say welcome aboard Soarin' flight #xxxx. Now what is the flight number? Why this specific number?

This is right before Patrick briefs you and the flight number can be heard on a track here at Subsonic.

Good Luck everyone!

It's flight 5505 because it's the date the ride opened!

I think you are right with that answer as that's what is sounds like on the track and the date things makes sense too.

Wow that was quick. Sorry it took me a while to confirm it, but I was in class until 8 pm.

Here's a new question for ya!

What was the theme of Saratoga Springs inspired by?

*I'll give you an early-on hint: I'm not looking for Saratoga Springs, New York.
