Did You Know Today’s TIGGERIFIC TUESDAY TRIVIA About The Giant Coca-Cola Cup at the All Star Sports Resort?
We love our pop, or do you call it soda? So imagine our eyes when we saw the giant sized Coca-Cola at Disney’s All Star Sports Resort, we had to find out more. Come to find out the cup can hold about 20 million 12 ounce cans of Coke. That’s a lot of Coke, each year visitors to the parks consume around 2 million gallons of Coke which if poured into the cup you would still have room for ice as it would only be around 90% full. If only I could find a ladder to reach that straw….

Did You Know Today’s TIGGERIFIC TUESDAY TRIVIA About Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster?
We all know that each of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster limos go from 0 – 60 in 2.8 seconds and that there are 125 speakers and 24 subwoofers per limo, but did you know that they built the entire coaster then constructed the building around it. Yes, folks, it’s true, in this case the roller coaster came before the egg err I mean building.
But it is too bad you don’t get much time to experience the building as the ride only lasts 1 and a half minutes so be sure to look around.

Did You Know Today’s TIGGERIFIC TUESDAY TRIVIA About Toy Story Midway Mania?
In the Toy Story Midway Mania at Hollywood Studios and Disney California Adventure, how many seconds do you spend at each scene (Plate breaking, Popping Balloons, etc…) ? 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds???
In Toy Story Midway Mania, only 30 seconds are spent at each of the scenes. Yes I know it feels like 10 seconds sometimes. There is just not enough time to break al the plates. The total ride time is only 5 minutes as over 150 computers are used behind the scenes to process all the animation and pulls on each guests spring action shooter.

Our Favorite Food This Week: Nutella and fresh fruit waffle sandwich
Location: Sleepy Hollow Refreshments (Magic Kingdom)
Price: $6.39
Funnel cakes are great for a sugar high, but if you want something a little more substantial you might want to head to Sleepy Hollow at the Magic Kingdom and try the delicious and fulfilling Nutella and fresh fruit waffle sandwich. This snack is a thick freshly baked waffle covered with hazelnut nutella spread and topped with fresh vibrant fruit. That’s right, Mom and Dad, unlike most park snacks, this one has nutritional value. It’s a great snack for two or even a small meal for one.

Keeping with a patriotic theme today. How many stories is The American Adventure building?
If you guessed 5 then you are right. Wait; there are only 3 windows so how can the building be 5 stories tall??? It’s all forced perspective. Imagineers wanted the building to fit with the colonial architecture when buildings were never more than two/three stories. This is the opposite perspective than on Main Street USA where buildings that are only 2 stories tall are made to look like they are 3.
