Our internet connection is up and running again

1. What colors are in the flag for Camp Minnie Mickey? Extra points if you can describe the flag.

Badkitty, you've got me on this one

[badkitty]

Welcome back Zawadi! I really enjoyed your trip reports.

Any takers on question #1 from my list? The flag is located on the right as you make the turn to cross the bridge towards FOTLK and the trails. There are two colors on the flag.

[Joannelet]

I have never seen this flag..it's driving me nuts!

The flag pole is located behind the well, and the colors are green, yellow and red?

Way to go Disney Hungarian! You rock!

I thought it was just green and a yellow-gold but you might be right about the red. The design looks like a rising or setting sun.

Shall we go back and finish Zawadi's list?

[Zawadi]

Thanks for stepping in badkitty

There were two questions remaining:

3) I've previously asked how many dogs appear in the Pirates of the Carribbean ride but how many cats are there? I'm going to kill this question as it is too specific (unless anybody wants to have a go that is)

Which leaves...
5) A former Miss America appeared in which attraction?

You are most welcome! Hakuna Matata!
I'll take a chance with #3 and say three with ol' Bill?

[Zawadi]

I'll take a chance with #3 and say three with ol' Bill?

You may well be right. We thought we counted 2, but have lost the piece of paper where we noted their locations.

Question 5 is still open.
5) A former Miss America appeared in which attraction?

[badkitty]

Question 5 is still open.
5) A former Miss America appeared in which attraction?

You could be right. I know it is at least two.

I'm sure this isn't the answer your looking for for #5 but I thought it was an interesting tidbit. When I was little and HM first opened at Disneyland, I remember hearing that the Ghostess (AKA [unoffically] Little Leota) was played by Lee Meriwether (Miss California & Miss America, 1955).All the publications surrounding HM indicate that Leota Toombs is the actual face/voice of the Ghostess. From what I have read, Leota was also called Lee so that must be where the rumor started. I think the two women resemble each other quite a bit. Spooky.

A very nice tidbit but not what I was after

What I'm after is at WDW and Miss America appeared in the attraction during the 1990s

[badkitty]

I think you might have stumped us Zawadi. How about another hint?

Here's your requested hint...

The Miss America in question was the first Miss Florida (from Jacksonville) to win the title of Miss America.

Okay, this one was hard Zawadi!

Here goes: Leanza Cornett, first Ariel in the Voyage of the Little Mermaid at Disney/MGM Studios in 1991 before winning Miss Winter Park and Miss Florida in 1992 and Miss America in 1993.

This is great trivia! How did you come across it?

[Zawadi]

A very full and correct answer badkitty

This piece of trivia came from one of the Disney Trivia books that I've purchased over the last 10 years or so.

Who's up for posting the next set of questions?

[Zawadi]

I know that I asked who's up for posting the next set of questions. However, last night I watched a documentary about Pixar and had to ask this trivia before I forgot it

1. What is the code to summons the Child Contamination Unit?

2. What is the license plate number for the car owned by Andy's family in the first Toy Story?

3. Why is the answer to question 2 of significance to Pixar?

4. What was the name of Syndrome's first alter-ego?

5. During the announcement made by the captain of the Axiom, how many days had they been travelling?

6. Which actor has voiced a character in every Pixar animation?

[badkitty]

6. Which actor has voiced a character in every Pixar animation?

That would be John Ratzenberger! He has played principle parts like Hamm in Toy Story to bit parts like the Abominable Snowman in Monster's Inc. It is a game in my family to see what who can pick out John's voice first.

That is indeed the actor

[Zawadi]

Any takers for this round of questions?

[badkitty]

2. What is the license plate number for the car owned by Andy's family in the first Toy Story?

3. Why is the answer to question 2 of significance to Pixar?

Here goes #2 and #3:

A113 - it is the room # of an animation/graphic art classroom at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts) in Valencia, CA used by John Lasseter. (I have a friend who graduated with a music degree from there.) It is an "Easter Egg" added to animated films by alumni of CalArts and is present in every Pixar film. (For example, the lab rat's ear tag in Ratatouille, the directive never to return to Earth in Wall-E, the number on the freight train in Cars, etc.)

I can't help myself and have to provided extended trivia:
The school was originally founded/created by Walt Disney in the 60's by merging the Chouinard Art Institute (founded 1921) and the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music (founded 1883).

Your explanation has saved me a lot of typing. The only thing that I can add is that A113 appears in UP as the number of the court room that Carl Fredricksen goes to after he hits a worker to protect his mailbox.

Questions 1, 4 & 5 remaining...

1. What is the code to summons the Child Contamination Unit?

4. What was the name of Syndrome's first alter-ego?

5. During the announcement made by the captain of the Axiom, how many days had they been travelling?
