where can i find those books? they seem really great.

The author also has a podcast which I just discovered and it is in a word, brilliant! He just had a piece about Jack Wagner being the Voice of Disney and had all these sound bites with Jack doing the a lot of the announcements in the parks from Disneyland and WDW. It brought back so many wonderful memories! I have the first Louis Mongello book but I am going to go ahead and order the second now thanks to you adabob .

Have a wonderful trip and thanks for your interesting posts!

Adabob this is offtopic but have you heard of the website Illinois High School Sports?

 

[Kristina]

In no way am I the Dis police but since the OP is a child it's probably only smart to edit out all mention of what school the child is attending.

 

[adabob]

I had the same initial thought but then realized that he doesn't sound anything like the Jack Wagner from soap operas, so I googled it and found this:

I know I read this somewhere (in one of those trivia books or a guidebook), but no, it's not Jack Wagner the Soap Star. There's an older actor by the same name.

This has to be him, but there aren't any pictures.... http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0905938/

I'm editing to add that I hadn't refreshed and didn't see the previous poster's answer about this. The other URL given is *much* better!

I don't think they were paying attention when they came up with the name for the newest attractions (in MK) initials.....
Monsters Inc Laugh Floor = ****??? OMG
Please don't flame me, I only found this on the WDW Cast member boards.
My mind doesn't even work that way to figure that on my own.
I will not explain what the initials stand for because it is inappropriate to type that out!

Getting out my fire extinguisher anyways...just in case

OMG - how hilarious! You made my day with this post!

Here are a few, fun tid bits from "The Walt Disney World Trivia Book - Secrets, History & Fun Facts Behind the Magic" by Louis A. Mongello....

Nearly a mile of neon lights are used outside the RnR attraction.

In 1966, Walt Disney was diagnoses with lung cancer, contracted after years of smoking cigarettes. His illness and it's connection to smoking prompted the Imagineers to remove Rod Serling's signature Cigarette from the pre-show video in the ToT.

When the ToT was being built, it was struck by lightning.

The Coaster Track for RnR was built first and then the building was constructed around it.

The Thatched roofs in the UK Pavilion are made out of plastic broom bristles because real thatch would be a fire hazard.

More than 30 tons of the fruits and veggies served in WDW restaurants are grown in The Land Pavilion.

The Antique Mining Equipment in the Big Thunder Mtn Railroad attraction is genuine and cost over $300,000,00.

The voice of Big Al in the Country Bear Jamboree was performed by none other than Tex Ritter, one of the best-known singing cowboys in westerns.

In The Hall of Presidents, FDR's figure is so detailed that if you look closely, you can see the braces on his legs.
