    It would be larger than a sand trap. It lies across an ocean... or sea if you will... ;)

    ... ???

    Something to do with The Seas with Nemo and Friends??

    Or do we have to think outside of the WDW property here?

    Hhmmm ...... well I know the cruise ships have pools shaped like mickey heads, but you said "across an ocean ... or sea if you will" .... so maybe Tokyo DisneySea?

    Correct! The Fortress at Tokyo Disney Sea from a bird's eye view is a hidden mickey! I don't have a picture of it, but if you see the main dome and the 2 towers in place of the ears, you can imagine what it'd look like!

    Wow it's great to see the most wonderful world on earth on your computer. However I really got the feeling I'm playing Roller Coaster Tycoon or something. :)

    haha it's true - not quiiiiiiiiiiiiite the same! Often imitated, never duplicated I suppose!

    That Canadian pavilion does need a little Tim Hortons in there somewhere though :D I really don't doubt that there would be a line-up of Canadians for the coffee! The number of times I have heard my family complain about the coffee there... :D

    oh and I have another little Disney trivia bit!

    Originally, the Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios was meant to be much taller... in the end, the imagineers opted for a very specific height that was less than originally planned... 199 ft. Why?

    I think I know!!!

    Is it because there's a law in Florida where structures that are 200 ft in height or higher need to have a blinking light on top of them to make planes/helicopters aware of it, and so they decided to make it shorter so it wouldn't detract from the theming... that's what I've heard anyways....

    DING DING DING!

    Coooooorrect! You have WON and NEW toy CAR!!!!!

    Yup, the imagineers didn't exactly feel like an old hotel from way back when would have had blinking lights on top of it, so they went to the absolute top limit they could go in height - without having to put lights to alert planes on it - and that was 199 ft!
