Disney Deep Thoughts

[TLtron]

Ever catch yourself pondering some random, deep, obscure thoughts related to Disney, or theme parks in general? Like for example,

How many times during any given operating hour in central Florida is the phrase "Please gather up your personal belongings" stated? Or, do more attractions have you exit to the right or to the left? Or, would WDW have as catchy and welcoming of a destination name if Walt had been given a more unusual name like "Thaddeus" instead? ("Surprise kids! We're going to Thaddeus Disney World!")
How many fireworks are ignited over central Florida every night? How many per year? How many pairs of 3D glasses are being worn at this very moment?

What are some of the random, thought-provoking questions you have thought about before relating to the parks? Even better, does anyone have a close guess to some of the answers to mine? (Because I would sure love to know!)

What if Frank Wells had never died? That's a huge question for the current state of the company.

Can't say I have.

Actually no, that's a lie. The first thing I usually say when we get in to our Disney resort bed is ''I wonder how many people have done the business in this bed or on these sheets'' ​

Wishes fireworks costs between $41,000 - $55,000 per show. With the over 2500 fireworks shows at WDW every year, the costs are said to be $45-$50 Million a year. Thats a lot of money for a lot of sparkling lights in the sky

That's an absurd amoun of money if true

"I wonder how many people have sat in this seat before me"

"When will they realize that they're not storytelling anymore"

I have never once thought of that up until now. Coincidentally, I have also never thought about sleeping in my car for all future trips up until now either.

Yikes! I vote we scale all firework shows to a few select peak times per year, and use the money that is saved for future E-tickets instead.

A few other deep thoughts to ponder.
Has there ever been a day so slow with attendance, that it was possible to do every major attraction in all 4 theme parks, including travel time to - from each park?
When Walt was alive, would he say "What Would I Think?" when something didn't turn out right?

More than I care to admit, actually.

No one knows everything.

But I know that figure is wrong. By 100-150%.

Well, when you consider how much they make, it's really not that much.
