Disney World Castle!

[Magic_Mickey]

Does anyone know how many stones were used in the WDW Castle?

If you didn't it is 0!

They are made of fiberglass!!

Amazing! How's that for a Disney Secret!

[mattj4226]

Although I already no about that, there are many people who don't, so I said that it was a Good Secret.

[tarynkelly]

Hey!!! I knew this secret, woo hoo!!!

[2tinners]

I said it was a good secret because it does look like real stone on the castle and many people just assume that it is stone.

[queenofthehouse]

Yes Zero, already knew this secret.

[BamaJenn]

I wish there was an option for "Knew it already" without "Lame" in front of it.

It isn't a lame secret, just not a secret to those of us with a unique obsession with WDW

Did you know that the castle is 189 feet tall because Walt didn't want to put a red light on the top to warn passing planes? By Florida law, if a structure is 190 feet tall or greater, they must have a blinking red light on the highest point. Walt didn't want to ruin the magic, so he made it 1 foot shorter.



Just a little tidbit

[cskiff7895]

the law actually is 200 ft tall. TOT is 199ft and expedition everest is 199.5ft and neither one have red lights

[mattj4226]

I think you are both right. I'm pretty sure that the law at the time the castle was built was 190ft but was later changed to 200ft.

[nicki12]

I already knew that but it is still a good secret.

[DopeyDancer87]

Yes the law was changed later on...but when the castle was first built it was 190ft.

[cskiff7895]

ok, i didn't know that, i'm just familar with the current law

[SlpngBeauty]

I did know that, but as you said those of us with an unnatural obsession with Disney know lots of little things like that. Not lame, just knew it.

[Sorria]

I already kenw about it, but I said it was a good secret since there's many people that don't know.

[disneyimagineer]

It's a good secret, but I alsredy new about it.
