Tomorrowland Speedway 7I can’t drive 55, err 7.5 mph.   Did you know that when you slam that pedal to the metal on the Tomorrowland Speedway you are going a whole 7.5 mph!!!   No, there are no cops on your tail so feel free to sit back and enjoy the ride but avoid the rail otherwise you will be bounced back and forth on the track.

Tomorrowland Speedway is one of the original attractions at Disney World opening in Oct of 1971.   There are around 140 cars that can be used on the 4/10 mile track.

Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia: Pirates of the Caribbean

Did You Know Today’s TIGGERIFIC TUESDAY TRIVIA About The Pirates Of The Caribbean?

Pirates of the Caribbean SignWhen Walt Disney World opened in 1971 it was missing one of the greatest attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean.   Why was this?   Well turns out the landlubbing Imagineers didn’t think that the Florida residents would take to a Caribbean attraction due to its proximity.   Needless to say the guests didn’t think the same and demanded it.

After it’s introduction in 1973 it quickly became one of the most popular attractions at the park.   But it was an E ticket t’ ride which cost 85 cents for adult and 75 cents per child, so start savin’ your nickels.

Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia : Pin Trading

Did you know today’s Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia about Disney’s Pin Trading?

Pin and Vinyl Giveaway Close

Have you gotten into the craze of pin trading?   On our last trip our son decided to start trading and what an experience it is.   Collectors can trade with cast members for a new pin as much as they want…or all day long as our son did! It was certainly interesting to see what he ended up with at the end of the day  What a thrill it is!   The concept here is pretty easy – you have pins and someone else has pins – you review each other’s pins and negotiate a trade.  And just like that each of you has a new pin.   Many of the cast members have pins and here’s a bit of trivia….   On any given day at the Disney parks over 250,000 pins are available from cast members for trading.   Hmm let’s see at $10 bucks a pop, yeah that’s a huge investment for the pin trading community.   Pin trading started at the Walt Disney Resort in Oct of 1999.   Since the onset of trading, over 400 million pins have been traded, was one of them yours?

Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia: Oz the Great and Powerful

DID YOU KNOW TODAY’S TIGGERIFIC TUESDAY TRIVIA ABOUT OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL? 

Have you seen Oz The Great and Powerful?

If not you should, very fun movie with amazingly colorful scenes.  But, what is real in movies anymore.   So much of today’s movies are computer generated it’s really hard to know.   In the Oz The Great and OzPowerful there are over 3,000 actual props, of those 1400 were manufactured just for the film.   What about the gold coins???   Yes I was wondering the same, as Oscar(Oz) was introduced to the palace treasury he jumps in and begins swimming in the gold coins.   Are those real, yes they are!   Well, maybe not gold, but they are actual coins.  Over 5,000 coins were minted by Prop Master Russell Bobbitt.   One side of the coin has an image of the Yellow Brick Road and the other side is an image of author L. Frank Baum.   Amazing to hear the level of detail that went into these when, in the end, the coins are never visible in detail.
