Spaceship Earth?

 

[lacool]

I'll second JamesD!

Want the lyrics? There's a sound clip, too.

Sooner or Later lyrics

 

[gometros]

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! This is my 2,000th post!

So in honor of this significant accomplishment I offer my AAQ up with this detailed question:

List all of the WDW Resorts in the order they opened.

Bonus - list the year each one opened for business

 

[lacool]

Oooh, Fun! I'll start!

Contemporary
Polynesian
Fort Wilderness, all circa 1971.

Congrats on the milestone post!

 

[gometros]

Good start.

Oh yeah, and no internet peeking

 

[jwill]

Contemporary
Polynesian
Fort Wilderness
Grand Floridian
Caribbean Beach

 

[marty3d]

Contemporary
Polynesian
Fort Wilderness
Grand Floridian
Caribbean Beach
Port Orleans
Old Key West
Dixie Landings

 

[Granny]

Gee, no internet peeking?

Then I'll have to guess in reverse order:

Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa (2004)
Pop Century (2003)
Beach Club Villas (2002)
Animal Kingdom Lodge (2002)
Villas of Wilderness Lodge (2000)
Coronado Springs (1999)
Wilderness Lodge (1996)
Boardwalk Villas & Inn (1994)
Old Key West (1992)

I am not sure of the exact order, and most of the years are guesses.

James scores a slightly damp, falling AAQ card for identifying the song 'Sooner or Later' is in Splash Mountain...

a follow-up question would of course be...


What other songs are featured in Splash Mountain?

 

[MickeyBabe]

Hmmmm... this sounds familiar.


Pirate.... How Do You Do? and Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

 

[Pirate Mickey]

MBabe...that's 2 more...there's one left.

How Do You Do - MBabe
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah - MBabe
Sooner or Later - JamesD (previous question)

one more!!!


(Sure it sounds familiar to you....bite your tongue )

 

[jwill]

"Everybody has a laughing place"?

 

[Pirate Mickey]

jwill swoops in with the last one!!

AAQ cards to MBabe and jwill.
