[PollyannaMom]

I’m still not doing too well on the trivia this week (2 correct, and 1 that I “knew” and could completely picture, but couldn’t think of the actual name). It's fun to learn the answers, though!

No new minutes because I fell askeep on the couch last night! I intended to just watch TV for a bit after dinner before getting on the treadmill, but I guess the early dark got to me.

 

[Elizabeth Smith]

I got the last three on the last round of trivia. I’m kicking myself because I just knew what kind of structure Spaceship Earth is, but I couldn’t think of it!

Adding 40 minutes for the night. An easy 40 minutes on my exercise bike.

Good morning, and Merry Christmas Eve to those who are celebrating!

Here are some Disney Christmas-season trivia questions:

From 1995-2016, Disney's Hollywood Studios featured a holiday light display named after what family?

Spoiler: Whose lights?

The Osborne Family. Fun fact: my father lived in Little Rock in the early 1990s, and we saw the Osborne lights on the Osbornes' house (a very large property on a major road). They actually bought the two adjacent houses to have more room to display lights. Traffic was a real mess, and I can see why their neighbors ended up suing them to stop the light display.

What has replaced the lights on Cinderella's Castle this year?

Spoiler: What will you see?

New holiday castle projections

What EPCOT holiday celebration (sadly canceled this year) has a celebrity narrator and a choir?

Spoiler: Which celebration?

The Candlelight Processional. Disneyland has a smaller version of this event (also sadly cancelled this year).

Which WDW park featured the Merry Menagerie for the 2019 holiday season?

Spoiler: Which park?

Animal Kingdom. The animal puppets were seriously cute!

Which WDW resort featured a gingerbread carousel for the 2019 holiday season?

Spoiler: Which resort?

Beach Club.

Over on the West Coast, which Disneyland attraction is transformed with lights for the holidays (in normal years)?

Spoiler: Which attraction?

It's a Small World. Disneyland's Haunted Mansion gets the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay.

Is Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A. Christmas tree 40-49 feet, 50-59 feet, 60-69 feet, or 70-79 feet tall?

Spoiler: How tall?

60 feet tall.

At Disney California Adventure, which two Cars Land attractions get holiday makeovers?

Spoiler: Which two?

Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters becomes Luigi's Joy to the Whirl and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree becomes Mater's Jingle Jamboree
