Great thread Frank!

I've got something here...but rather than posting as a "fun fact" this might best be described as a "fun rumor". Maybe someone knows if this is true or not:

Disney has an air strip called the STOL Port by the Magic Kingdom parking lot. (That part is true). The blip on STOL Port holds a lot of mystery and always has. STOL Port is quite a work of art if you know the secret. It was formed as not just an airstrip, but as a test ground for the property roads. It is laid out in sections that comes together at different in different lengths. As a plane lands and rolls over the connecting sections, the bumping from a single axle vehicle makes/plays Zip-a-dee-doo-da. The imagineer who thought of this was rumored to have wanted to do the roads like this, but people did not get it. It is guessed that the problem lay with 2 axle vehicles that distorted the melodies.

When we used to eat at the Steersman Quarters on the Empress Lilly, one of the unusual things they did was the way the server would refill you water or iced tea glass. He would pour from his pitcher that he held at his shoulder height & not spill or splash a drop. It was fascinating to watch and I assume took a lot of practice.

I've disqualified/exempted myself from this thread, but I like how you worded your question.

11,324 individual panels make up the exterior shell of Spaceship Earth.


Rain water never falls off the Spaceship Earth ball at Epcot. It is absorbed into the ball and funneled into the World Showcase lagoon.


Since 1971 the Monorail trains have logged enough miles to equal MORE than 25 round trips to the moon.

Isn't it time for another fun fact?
