Top Walt Disney Questions

Have you ever been stumped by that difficult top Walt Disney question or seem to know all the answers to the most challenging top Walt Disney questions around? Well here is your chance to test your knowledge and how much or how little you know about the top Walt Disney questions.

I have many requests on my blog asking about top Walt Disney questions and I was wondering if you know the answers to my questions about the Magic Kingdom, quotes by Walt Disney, Disney trivia, Disney movie release dates or top Disney movies? 

There have been many celebrations and parades at the Magic Kingdom in the past. My first top Walt Disney question is when was the very first parade to ever step off at the Magic Kingdom? 

My best guess would suggest it was sometime in the late 70’s or early 80’s.

My second top Walt Disney question is on quotes by Walt Disney. When did Walt Disney say “I don’t make pictures just to make money. I make money to make more pictures?”
That’s a tough one. Great saying, it shows the love that Walt Disney had for his fans!

My next top Walt Disney question is a Disney trivia. In the movie Aladdin, what is the name of Jasmine’s pet tiger?

I think I’m going to have to watch that move over, to figure that answer out! My guess would be Tony the tiger…

My second to last top Walt Disney question is on Disney movie release dates. When was the original Disney move release date for The Little Mermaid and when was the re-release date?

I have no idea. I never had a chance to watch the movie…Google time!

My final top Walt Disney question is on top Disney movies. What is the top Disney move of all time? I’m going to stick with Aladdin. I loved that movie! 


If you think you have the answers to some or all of the top Walt Disney question please test your knowledge and post your answers. If you have a difficult or challenging Walt Disney question that you think will stump us, pleas post it and we will try our best to answer it.

Walt Disney and Walt Disney Studios

He says, she says! I really don’t care what they say… what only matters is my opinion and what I think of Walt Disney and Walt Disney Studios!

I’m always right! Who says my opinion is not right? Everyone has their own opinion and today I have chosen to give you my opinion on Walt Disney Classic, Walt Disney Studios, Animated Disney Movies, rides at Disney world and Disney Pictures.

Ok, let’s begin with Walt Disney Classics, this is just one area of Walt Disney and Walt Disney Studios. I personally think that the Walt Disney Classics are the best. It’s not over produced and super enhance like todays' Disney movies that cost a fortune and jumps out of the screen. In addition to that, it costs a lot more to see these moves now because of the price to make them compared to the good ol' Walt Disney classics did. 

Next let’s look at Walt Disney Studios. I think that the Studios are the best. I personally have been to Walt Disney Studios about 10 times and loved every minute of it. I did find it pricey, but I haven't found anywhere else that offers me that type of entertainment, so I really can’t compare Walt Disney studios from a price point. As for the rides at Disney world, I personally think they are ok for the price, but being from the Toronto area and having access to Canada’s Wonderland, I would say the value to me would be a season’s pass at Canada’s Wonderland and a pass on the rides at Disney World. 


When you compare your local amusement park to Walt Disney and Walt Disney Studios, would you agree Walt Disney and Walt Disney Studios was overall better for the price and experience or is your local park better?

Disney Movies


Tell me another…Just one more! I have told many different stories to my children, but they have never enjoyed one more than a Disney movie one!

I have told many stories to my kids in the past 16 years, but none have filled my kids with the most joyful expressions like a Disney story. Whenever I ask them what story they wanted to hear they would yell-out “A Disney Story” with glee! One day before telling them a story I said, “Tell me why you like Disney movies and stories?”

Adam, my first child who is 10 years old replied “I love the Animated Disney movies because the characters are so cool and almost so real-like” and “They have most action during the movies too!” Kayla who is 16 years old said “I can still remember how much fun I had last summer, when I went to Walt Disney Studios with some of my class mates…I can’t wait until the next time I go!”  I asked my wife, what she liked about Disney the most. She replied “I love the Walt Disney classic and top Disney movies; I can watch them over and over again!” My kids also asked me, where do you find all the Disney movies stories to tell us? I said “the Disney website of course.” The website is filled with all the information that you need to know about Disney.

Let us know, what is your favorite part about Disney and what Disney move are you going to watch tonight?

Disney Links!


Is this magic world really linked? When looking for information on links to Disney-links, what are some good links to check out?

As I surf the world wide web of the internet, looking for information and links to Disney-links on several Walt Disney Fun Facts, I found myself saving a lot of links to Disney-links in my favorite folder of sites on Walt Disney facts, Trivia, rides at Disney world, Disney vault and Disney world attractions. I am going to share my finding of links with you, so you can check them out and see if you like them as much as I did.

The first search I did was on Walt Disney facts. Once I hit enter after typing in Walt Disney facts, it showed me several top rankings. I clicked on the link to Disney World of Wonders  where it revealed many facts about Walt Disney’s full name, date of birth, parents and even the date of death.

Next, I searched Trivia on Walt Disney and it returned several top links. I clicked on what’s New – Disney trivia and it linked me to Ron & Marie's Disney trivia page. 

This site was great! It offered me Disney Trivia information, signup for Disney Trivia, search past trivia, view all past trivia and even allowed me to submit a trivia question for them to use.
I then continued to search Rides at Disney world. Once again, I was provided with top ranking search results from the web. I clicked on a YouTube link titled Disney world top 10 rides. This video was amazing! It visually took me on a 3minute tour of the top 10 rides at Disney world, with all the names appearing on the screen. Disney Vault was my second to last entry. This site was very informative on previous Disney movies that are being re-released on Blu-ray, to make the experience much better the second time around.
My final search was Disney World Attractions, which gave me the link to Walt Disney World Attractions page. It not only gave me all the attractions, entertainment, dining and events and tours, but it also allowed me click on boxes to customize my adventure.

Share your searches and favorite links to Disney-links with us. What’s the best site or link to Disney-links you have found to be informative and helpful about Disney World?

Where to Find Hidden Mickeys & Other Characters in the Movies

As if Walt Disney Classic movies weren’t cool enough, one interesting fact is the number of Easter eggs you’ll find in all Disney movies. Below are a few examples of what to look for. 


For hidden Mickeys, you can usually count on finding them in scenes that include water. Basically anything that can ripple or look like a bubble has usually been stealthily drawn to represent a Mickey Mouse head. As for characters, they are typically blended into the shots, so you’ll find them as part of a crowd. In some cases, they have been obviously used. Here are a few examples of what you might see, courtesy of Mental Floss (Mental Floss, 2013):

Characters 

In The Little Mermaid, you can see Goofy, Donald, and Mickey in the crowd when King Triton has his opening scene.

In Aladdin, when the Sultan is playing with his toys and building a tower, the Beast is one of the toys. 

In Hercules, when Hercules is being painted on a vase with a lion’s head, the lion is Scar from The Lion King.

In Tangled, Pinocchio can be found in the rafters in the pub.









Hidden Mickeys 

The bubbles in Cinderella, during the Sweet Nightingale song form a Mickey head 



In 101 Dalmatians, a few spots on Pongo are shaped as a Mickey head.

In Sleeping Beauty, the fairy Merryweather has a biscuit shaped like Mickey.

In Dumbo, when Dumbo is having a bath, a few bubbles form a Mickey.

In Oliver and Company, Fagin’s first wristwatch is a Mickey Mouse watch.

These are just a few samples of Easter eggs placed in some of the movies. There are tons more, and now that you know what to look for, here’s an interesting game to play with some friends – watch a Disney movie and see if you can pick out all the hidden Mickeys and characters from other movies! If you want to know where to find them, you can search Disney online and there are a few sites that have extensive collections. 


Have fun :-)
