Parks Game...Part 12! I Can't Believe We're Still Playing!

[MickeyBabe]

ADaddy.... How about at Cinderella's Royal Table?

... or maybe Sir Mickey's?

 

[amandadaddy]

Before I could tell y'all to take the boat, then the monorail back to MK...MBabe nails it!

The last suit of armor is in the foyer (waiting room) of Cinderella's castle. I believe that there are others in the stairwell and the dining room but I'm counting 'em all as one on my list.

AAQ cards go out to Granny, KS Dave, WDWthePlaceToBe, Wedway Rocks, and MBabe! Congrats to all!

Sorry I didn't get back with the hint for my question:

In the Captain EO movie, what is the name of the "crewman" that looks like an alien version of an elephant?

The hint is: the name is more famous referring to a US restaurant chain that serves wings with nice legs.

 

[POOH&PIGLET]

I never saw Captain EO but I will guess: Hooter.

 

[amandadaddy]

I've never been to Hooters and only saw that Pepsi commercial once , but I'll go out on a limb and second Pooh & Piglet with another vote for crewman Hooter.

 

[DisneyFreq]

New to this thread...learned quite a bit from these last 92 pages...

Hooter is right I think....that character made a weird chirping noise (I believe). Guess that's how he got the name.

Now...question...did they FILTER the water they used for the fountain of nations? I keep imagining someone picking up dysentery.....
No one ever listed WHICH nations dumped water (or some semblence there of) into the fountain. I'm curious to know.

 

[amandadaddy]

Sounds like a question for the Walt Disney World Water Drinkers' Society!

All waters at WDW are safe for human consumption (except for SMt and IASW - you don't want your breath to smell like those logs, and it would be terrible to shrink to the size of a 2 year old and engage in the incessant singing of an annoying song). The waters of the Fountain of Nations have the most international flavor of all with hints of everything from Montezuma's revenge to Perrie (sp?). I'm not up to speed on all the information available from the WDWWDS, so I think it would be best at this time if I passed on any additional comments until a more qualified DISer can address your questions.

 

[ksdave]

POOH&PIGLET, you nailed it! Guess my hint was a little too obvious.
amandadaddy, you get an honorable mention for the second, BUT, you get a for never having been to Hooters! You really need to go. My son asked his mom if he could have his eighth B-day party there!! A chip off the old block .

The waters must have at least come from:
USA
Canada
England
France
Germany
Italy
Japan
China
Mexico

 

[Princess Mindy]

This is what I could find on the fountain:
Young adults from 23 nations each poured a gallon of their country's water into the fountain, symbolizing the unity of world friendship. Water came from as far away as the Arctic Ocean, the Nile River in Africa, and Yangtze River in China, and as close as the Mississippi.

 

[DisneyJen]

Mindy you beat me to it!! I just went upstairs to pull my Disney History file which contains some great facts

Do we have a current question or do we need some one to cash in an AAQ card?

 

[ksdave]

We need a question. How about a softball:

What company sponsored Horizons at its opening?

 

[Princess Mindy]

General Electric!

 

[Horizons16]

Man im going to look really dumb if this is wrong... im pretty General Electric was its sponser all the way to 93 when they dropped and it was unsponsered to 98 when it closed and in 99 for good...

 

[amandadaddy]

Where's Horizons to answer this one? Okay, they ran the CoP theme through it in some spots, so I'll guess that GE was the original sponsor.

 

[Princess Mindy]

I've got a good one now (at least I think! )

What Symphony played for the 1971 dedication of the MK, where were they located and who conducted?

 

[Horizons16]

Where's Horizons to answer this one? Okay, they ran the CoP theme through it in some spots, so I'll guess that GE was the original sponsor.

I know, the one time I get up and go down the hall... guff... ha

 

[MickeyBabe]

The World Symphony Orchestra conducted by Arthur Fiedler.

 

[wdwtheplacetobe]

where???
In front of the Castle!

 

[ksdave]

General Electric is correct for the Horizons question.
AAQs to Princess Mindy, Horizons16, and amandadaddy.

 

[Princess Mindy]

You got it MBabe and WDWtheplacetobe!
Was it still too easy?

You're up! *passes the AAQ*
