The final challenge is a gruelling test of their memory, and I will not post here on the forum until Wednesday (when the results are due) just to make sure no one accidentally blurts out any of the answers.
To maintain fairness, I feel answers should be pm'd back to mindflipper.
I'm OK with that.

His job is the higher priority, Len90. Check with him to see if Thursday is OK, or if we need to move the deadline to Friday.

Well I just submitted my answers. It was a tough challenge. I was only able to get I think 17/20. Mark should get his in within the next 24 hours. He's had a long week.

Actually, he did...but I didn't get his PM until today! Wow!
Okay,everyone here was the final challenge:
CHALLENGE #5: WDW Nuts are such avid fans of the rides and shows at WDW that they could even recite word for word along with the ride or show. The following are various attraction quotes for rides or attractions that exists or had existed from 1990 and thereafter, and the true WDW Nut should be able to figure out which quotes belong to WDW and which don't. SCORING: one point for each attraction quote you correctly identify as being from WDW and which attraction it is at WDW. Also, however, one point will be deducted for each attraction quote you guess wrong. But beware, nothing is as easy or simple as it may appear to be. Think carefully before giving your answers. BONUS POINTS: one point each if you can correctly identify the origins (park and attraction) for which attraction quotes are NOT from WDW. BTW the inspiration behind this challenge actually comes from Mark86.
ATTRACTION QUOTES:
(01) "It's time to wake up the glee club!"
(02) "Like a grand and miraculous spaceship,..."
(03) "Let's examine nature at this speed,..."
(04) "Brakes! Brakes!"
(05) "Move it, Dinosaur Brain!"
(06) "I thinks I'm gonna skins ya!"
(07) "The golden age was never the present age"
(08) "You saved my life...BUTTHEAD!"
(09) "Water: at times, too much; and sometimes, not enough."
(10) "Here comes that miserable crab!"
(11) "Have no fear of evil curses, says you? Argh, properly warned ye be, says I!"
(12) "It rained...and it rained..."
(13) "There's nowhere to go but UP!!!"
(14) "Happy haunts materialize for a swinging wake,.."
(15) "We can kiss Harvard goodbye. No job, no upwardly mobile lifestyle,.."
(16) "Now you will face me, and all the powers of my imagination!"
(17) "Oh shoot! I need more ammo. I'll be back."
(18) "Oh what fun it is to sing a mermaid's song tonight"
(19) "So much for the magical world of make believe. Now for some grim realities..."
(20) "No, you may not get out. You're our...lucky volunteer."
The final results once scored and reviewed will be posted shortly...

Two quotes are not completely right; I went off a net transcript for one (turns out to be a bad transcript) and another I did off a video and got wording slightly wrong (double-checked off the audio). As far as the answers:
And the answers are: wrote:(01) "It's time to wake up the glee club!"
The Enchanted Tiki Room and its successor ETR: UNM at WDW
(02) "Like a grand and miraculous spaceship,..."
Spaceship Earth, EPCOT, WDW - both previous and current narration
(03) "Let's examine nature at this speed,..."
Dreamfinder, Journey Into Imagination, EPCOT, WDW
(04) "Brakes! Brakes!"
Star Tours, MGM/Disney or DHS, WDW
(05) "Move it, Dinosaur Brain!"
Dick Dastardly, The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, Universal Studios, Orlando
(06) "I thinks I'm gonna skins ya!" CORRECTION: "I expects I'm gonna hafta skins ya!"
Brer Fox, Splash Mountain, WDW MK
(07) "The golden age was never the present age"
Benjamin Franklin, American Adventure, EPCOT, WDW
(08) "You saved my life...BUTTHEAD!"
Biff Tannen, Back To The Future: The Ride, Universal Studios Orlando
(09) "Water: at times, too much; and sometimes, not enough."
Li Bai, Wonders of China, EPCOT
(10) "Here comes that miserable crab!"
Ursula, spectromagic, WDW MK
(11) "Have no fear of evil curses, says you? Argh, properly warned ye be, says I!"
Pirates of the Caribbean, Disneyland, CA [the treasure grotto sequence is not at WDW]
(12) "It rained...and it rained..." [ELIMINATED] Maybe Pooh does have it this way, but I actually
misquoted the Living Seas: "They rained...and rained...and rained..the deluge." My mistake going off
of someone's transcript on the net. No points deducted. I can't verify if Pooh does have it or not.
(13) "There's nowhere to go but UP!!!"
Timekeeper/The Transportarium, WDW MK (not found in either DLP's or TDL's version)
(14) "Happy haunts materialize for a swinging wake,.."
Haunted Mansion Holiday, Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland, not WDW. WDW's dialogue is "The happy
Haunts are beginning to materialize, and they're assembling for a swinging wake". This was
the basis of the line in the HMH's Graveyard Scarol:
Happy Haunts Materialize
For a Swinging Wake,
Glowing pumpkins harmonize,
Those joyful Screams we make!
(15) "We can kiss Harvard goodbye. No job, no upwardly mobile lifestyle,.."
Right Brain, Cranium Command, Wonders of Life, EPCOT, WDW
(16) "Now you will face me, and all the powers of my imagination!"
Malificient, Fantasmic, DHS, WDW
(17) "Oh shoot! I need more ammo. I'll be back."
It's Tough to be a Bug, Animal Kingom, WDW
(18) "Oh what fun it is to sing a mermaid's song tonight"
It's A Small World Holiday, Disneyland
(19) "So much for the magical world of make believe. Now for some grim realities..."
Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies, Universal Studios Orlando
(20) "No, you may not get out. You're our...lucky volunteer."
S.I.R, The Alien ExtraTERRORestial Encounter, WDW MK

And now we open at the close...
Now the point was to identify which quotes were from WDW and which ones were not. Remember, this competition is a WDW based competition. Now for the quotes that were not from WDW, I never said which theme parks they came from. Those other quotes came from Disneyland or Universal Studios Orlando just to make this whole thing that much trickier, especially with quotes from POTC and the HM. Now as for our contestant's answers...
Len90's answers are: wrote:+1 (01) TIKI ROOM
+1 (02) SPACESHIP EARTH
+1 (03) [Journey Into] IMAGINATION (DREAMFINDER)

Mark86 - 54 points
Looks like we have a clear winner -
CONGRATULATIONS, LEN90, YOU ARE THE WINNER!!! I wish we had a trophy to give you, but as the budget for this competition was $0 dollars, you'll have to be satisfied with the satisfaction of winning.

I think the challenges were designed to be objective more than subjective in nature, and not designed to favor one brother over the other. I hope this achieved as near as "scientific" approach to analysize what's a "WDW Nut".
I hope Len90 is gracious in victory and realizes that his brother is a bigger Disney fan than he may have given him credit of being previously.
Congratulations to both!

I prefer to think of "sneaky as a cat" more than a snake, MmeLeota...

Sneaky as a cat definitely makes more sense in your case mindflipper....sneaky snake was actually a reference to "MadTV".

You have a cat too so you know when I say this how true it is: my cat can be so sneaky it would put a snake to shame...
