oy! no way I'd get this one. I would say it's in Epcot somewhere. no idea how big it would be. as far as plants, do you mean individual plants or different plant varieties?

I think I remember it being in the Land. I'm also pretty sure that it's like 20,000 square feet and has 20,000 plants. That's a lot of plants.

hmm.. may be why I couldn't get it. I don't recall flowers when we went in December 06. but, then again, I wasn't really paying attention to flowers when going to the Land. It was all about weaving our way through the jungle of strollers and people to get to Soarin'...

I kind of like flowers and plants, but I really remembered it so I could tell my mom because she's really into that stuff! Ok, here's a new one!
Who was honored in the new window put in on Main Street in 2005?

A dedication to all the cast members who had worked for Disney throughout the years.

You're right, JimB! It's the building next to the Main Street Athletic Club and the dedication reads, "Magic Kingdom Casting Agency - It Takes People to Make the Dream a Reality."

OK the next question is: As of September 2008 how many bus drivers are employed at Walt Disney World? I'll take plus or minus 25 the actual number as a correct answer.

Well, since there are around 260 busses, I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess 300 bus drivers.

260 buses, they begin running around 7:30 am, figure three drivers per bus on rotational shifts. So my guess is about 750 drivers.

I like agingerbugg's answer, but the drivers can't work 7 days a week. I would say around 255 buses x 4 (3 rotational drivers per shift and 1 for dispatchers and people who have an off day) = 1,020 drivers.
