AHAHAHAHAHAHA
My family does the same thing! And always at Fort Wilderness, too!
As for this question.... I want to say about 1500 tons, but I'm probably way off.

I believe it's actually Len90's turn. he answered the last question correctly, which according to the rules in the OP, would make it his turn

Completely different, but I remember years ago when I went on one of those behind the scenes tours (probably 20 years ago now) they mentioned that WDW could handle a certain amount of water (rainfall from hurricans and such) that it would store and use for watering all of the plantlife throughout...Does anyone happen to know what the number is? I remember them mentioning it in terms of number of hurricanes, but I could be mistaken on that part of it.
I heard that on a tour too... it had soemthing to do with the advanced canal system on property. It also prevents WDW from flooding in bad rainstorms that most FL towns experience floods in. Unfortunately, I'm terrible with remembering numbers and statistics (which is why I never even attempt guessing at the number questions in this thread

)

Thanks js3901, but since AVITWeb had a very interesting trivia question, I'll let it go. I just hope AVITWeb knows the answer!
As for this question I would say 4-5 hurricanes worth.

Forgive the BUMP but AVITWeb needs to confirm/deny answers here. Again, I like this topic too much for it to die.

Thanks IMFearless, I was just going to do this. IF AVITWeb does not confirm any answer by tomorrow at 12 noon, we'll just open it up to a new trivia question and forget that had ever happened.

Mickey Mouse Review? I know, it isn't technically a ride, but my guess would have been the Swan Boats, but it was already guessed.

Well, I was waiting for Jiminycricket to confirm which of us was correct, but he isn't checking this thread (he's posted elsewhere). So, since Cheshire cat was generous enough to tip it to me, I will go.
Where is the only official hidden Minnie in all of WDW?
