Google is a great tool......


How much is a pack of gum in WDW?

And a little "did you know?" from Epcot..... If you were to travel from capital city to capital city of the countries around World Showcase starting in Mexico and ending in Canada, you would travel approximately 34500 miles.

I have one.

The original Enchanted Tiki Room was inspired by a John Hench picture of another project. What did Hench propose?

Not really. I just read that the original concept for the Tiki Room was a dinner theater and instead they turned it into the Tiki Room.

That's close enough. John Hench showed Walt a drawing of a restaurant with birds over top of the tables. Walt said, "That's Great. But won't the birds poop on the tables?" John laughed and told Walt they were animatronic. The concept was scrapped, but The Enchanted Tiki Room was born! Your turn.

What were the first two attractions to originally appear at Walt Disney World and then be recreated in Disneyland?
