Today I learned...

I thought it might be fun to have an ongoing thread about each days new discoveries, both Disney and non-Disney related.

So why not join in and spread the knowledge 😃

Today I learned, that Disneys Fort Wilderness used to have a steam train that did a circuit around the campsites. It only operated for about 5 years. Parts of the line can still be spotted around Fort Wilderness.

Today I learned the black and white movie in Home alone on the tv in background is not an old film at all. It was filmed for Home Alone.

The cherubs on the ceiling painting in Be our Guest are actually baby photos of the people who worked on the project for Be our Guest.

Oh sorry...I didn’t learn this today...I already knew it...I should have read the thread properly.

Today I learned, (through a work email newsletter) that

It’s technically illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day in England. In the 17th century, Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas pudding, mince pies and anything to do with gluttony. The law has never been rescinded.

well I never
