There is a wind gauge installed in Disney World's Wilderness Lodge's marina. The computer that runs the resort's geyser senses the wind speed for each "eruption" and adjusts the height of the water. This prevents blowing water from hitting the balconies of lake view rooms.
There are over 300 places to dine across Walt Disney World Resort ... which in turn means there are more than 350 chefs on staff.
Although there are many schools named Walt Disney Elementary School in such places as Alvin, Texas; Anaheim, California; Clinton Township, Michigan; Gates, New York; and Tulsa, Oklahoma, Walt Disney himself began his own elementary education in Marceline, Missouri. On October 15, 1960, Walt Disney Elementary School in "Walt's boyhood home" was dedicated.
Animal Kingdom's Tree of Life has hundreds of intricately carved animal images. Ten artists and three Imagineers worked full-time for 18 months to create the animal carvings on it.
Walt Disney World has the largest working wardrobe on Earth with more than 1.5 million operational garments in use and over 7,000 different garment types. In addition there are over 2 million pieces of entertainment costumes.
According to Kodak (one time sponsor of Journey Into Imagination) 4% of all amateur photographs are taken at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
"When you're lying on your back and see all the smoke billow up around the windows before you rocket off, that's just like it is inside the space shuttle." -Winston Scott (retired astronaut) on Epcot's Mission: SPACE. A little personal trivia – When I worked for the Department of Defense, one of my jobs was Program Manager for the F/A-18 Hornet Fighter/Attack aircraft. Winston Scott was my Project Officer. He was a highly skilled and talented fighter pilot, and all-around nice guy. He eventually retired from the Navy as a captain.
Disney established the Disney Wildlife Conservation Fund in 1995, the year Disney's Animal Kingdom was announced. The DWCF is a global awards program to fund nonprofit conservation & wildlife organizations focused on endangered animals and their habitats.
