Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia: it's a small world

"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears, it's a world of hopes and a world of fears.  There's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware, it's a small world after all!"

Now that the song is firmly implanted in your brain (you're welcome!), here is a fascinating fact about the attraction.  Before the Sherman Brothers came up with this melody, they initially proposed that the music accompanying the ride be a blending of several National Anthems.  I personally can't imagine this ride without it's current theme song!  Today's trivia is courtesy of Susan Veness's great book, "The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World Trivia".  Oh, and courtesy of my hubby, who bought me the book as a "just because" gift! :)

Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia: Living With the Land

It's time for another round of Tiggerific Tuesday #DisneyTrivia!  Do you know why there are red lights in the aqua culture area of "Living with the Land"? 

At the time when this attraction was being built, research suggested that red lights were beneficial to aqua culture.  More recent studies suggest that the color of the  light has no impact.  The red lights, though, still remain a very recognizable part of the ride through.

As always, a huge shout-out to +Disney Babies Blog, +My Dreams of Disney, +Magical Mouse Schoolhouse, and +Heidi's Head for co-hosting the fun!

Tiggerific Tuesday:The American Adventure

Wow.  It's been almost 2 months since my last post!  Sorry for the long hiatus -- we were renovating and moving into a new home, which cut into my blog time.  Back to it! :)

Welcome to this week's Tiggerific Tuesday!  Did you know that there were originally supposed to be 3 narrators for the American Adventure?  Will Rogers was originally to be a 20th century narrator; eventually, it was decided that 2 was enough.  Benjamin Franklin and Samuel Langhorn Clemens (AKA Mark Twain) were retained; Will Rogers still appears, but in a minor role.

Tiggerific Tuesday: Pirates of the Caribbean

Did you know? This pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean has real human hair on his leg!  Next time you ride, make sure to take a look up and appreciate this fact.  I owe this fun fact to Susan Veness' book, "The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World".

#TiggerificTuesday: Yetis Love Mickey!

Did you know? Yetis love Mickey!  OK, that may be a bit broad of a statement, but there's a least one who does...

Check out the standby queue of Expedition Everest.  In the Ye-Tea shop (at least that's what I like to call it), there is an adorable little Yeti wearing Mickey ears.  Isn't he cute?!

Tiggerific Tuesday: Maximus in Fantasyland

We all know that the Imagineers do an amazing job of weaving details into the story line of the parks.  This includes the detailing on the many pathways.  Check out the paths near the new Tangled bathrooms and into Fantasyland.  Among the hoof prints, you can see the imprint of Maximus' special horseshoes.

Tiggerific Tuesday: Spaceship Earth

Did you know?  Both walls are decorated in the caveman scene of Spaceship Earth.  I took a photo of the right hand wall (there are no audio animatronics here, so you don't think to look!), and this is what I saw!  I believe I initially read this tip in Susan Veness's book "The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World".
