Disney trivia

Postby **calisota** » Sat May 21, 2005 6:19 am

I've just added a feature to the main page of the web site that (should

) generate a little piece of Disney trivia each time you visit or refresh the page. I have about 100 random bits but if anyone has any more that they would like added just email them to me. They just have to be one line and plain text.

I was watching Disneyland USA DVD , in the Disneylands 10th Birthday bit. You see one of the Dwarfs remove his head on camera. This is not a outtake it was broadcast on Disney's World of Colour in 1965. if you have the DVD it's the bit were Mary Poppins flies way.

Hi Gerard, welcome to our growing little group.

What exactly is the "Disneyland USA DVD"? Others here probably know about it but I've never heard of it and it sounds like something I wouldn't mind getting.

Also, just on a side note, what is the avatar you're using? I can't quite make it out.

Heyya Gerard, I'm with Calisota...what DVD is that?

I'm looking forward to the Disneyland - The Secrets, Stories and Magic of the Happiest Place on Earth DVD that was meant to come out in the US on the 12th July (although it appears to have been delayed). It is available to buy from Amazon for $14.99 + shipping but is Region 1 encoded (do Amazon ship DVDs? I know they do not ship computer games overseas...grrrr)

Oops - getting a bit off topic, maybe we should start talking Disney DVDs in the MOVIES group.

Trivia-wise, for anyone coming to the club meeting on the 16th (tomorrow) - I've put together a nice group trivia session based entirely on Disneyland (half the questions historical, the other half based on Disneyland today) so get studying, you have 24 hours!

Keith, would you be interested in putting your trivia session online? I have a nice little quiz script that I can add to the site so that people like me who can't make it to the meeting can still have a go.

No problems at all, I'll send it to you tomorrow (after the meeting

can't have anyone get a head start!)

It's probably still on the trivia topic to ask, what's on the coast of arms?

I didn't even know there was a Disney coat of arms, probably a good trivia question in it's own right, Keith.

Well, we had our club meeting today - but we didn't do the Disneyland team trivia that I prepared - we've deferred it to the next meeting due to the number of events that were held tonight (it was a big and fabulous meeting!)

We did do three other trivia sessions today, a music quiz (not really suitable for the website), plus a True or False trivia, and a multiple choice trivia. Wayne was going to give me the True or False and Multiple choice quizes so that we could post them this evening - but I forgot to pick them up!

So....sorry all you members who were not able to come, you'll have to wait a couple of days until I get them off Wayne!

Would there be anyone willing to write up a "meeting report" for the site, for the benefit of those of us that can't make it and to entice others with an idea of what happens?

Multiple choice and true/false quizzes are perfect. Anything that actually requires typing in an answer is fraught with problems if the two answers aren't exactly the same.

We may have to figure out a way of getting a web cam into a future meeting so that we can have link-up meetings around the country.

Hello - yes, I'm still here...I just got held up with work over the last couple of days.

Now, where were we. A meeting report - well, I could have a go at it. I might miss bits but I'm sure there are people here that can correct me. I'll give it a go next Monday (bank holiday - yay). Next meeting, I'll try and get a copy of the meeting running sheet and so that it is more accurate (Wayne - is that okay with you, I'm happy to do reports for each meeting...)

I've got the photos from the meeting thanks to Julie who emailed them too me. I hope to get them up online tonight.

As for the webcam - I think we are going to be hampered by technology. I doubt the hall we use for meetings is ADSL equipped. So unless someone can come up with a wireless equipped laptop, it may not be practical. Also, I don't know if the meeting format is really compatible with web streaming as we tend to be fairly interactive - so Greg, I guess you'll have to move to Sydney

A bank holiday? I thought every day in a bank was a holiday, what's this one for?

Look forward to the report, I've always wondered what happens at one.

I've got the photos from the meeting thanks to Julie who emailed them too me. I hope to get them up online tonight.

They are up on the photo gallery now. Someone may have to give me an idea of who is in them so I can put labels.

so Greg, I guess you'll have to move to Sydney :DKeithS

I'll save my pennies and make a trip to Sydney for one of the meetings. Is life as fast paced and hectic down there as I've been led to believe and will it all be a bit overwhelming for a Gold Coaster like me?

Sorry, I've been neglecting this thread for a bit - but don't worry, I plan to make amends.

The next Disneyana Club meeting will take place on Saturday 24th September, and I plan to be armed with pen and paper to make copious notes on what takes place, as well as running the group trivia session (and then we can put those questions online) as well as obtaining other bits and pieces for the site.

Watch this space...

I'll watch it tomorrow and reply then
