My favorite Disney World factoid ever!

If Spaceship Earth were a golf ball, the person hitting the ball would have to be approximately 1.2 miles tall (using the correct scale). The hole he would be shooting for would have to be about 417 feet in diameter. If the person was playing on the equivalent of a 200 yard hole, it would have to be nearly 134 miles long - approximately the width of Florida. FORE!!!

Okay I guess it's not that great.

From the Modern Marvels show that was just on the History channel on WDW:

To properly landscape the Animal Kingdom park, they brought in 60 dump trucks of earth every day - for 2 YEARS!

I saw that show too. I thought it was amazing how much dirt they needed. I wonder where the big hole is that they got the dirt from?
