A Pause To Ponder

Hey, all!
Back in 2003, I took a photo of a wipe-off board in one of the shops at DTD
(I think it was the World of Disney), and the following "mindboggler" was
written on it. For the life of me, I can't figure them all out, but I know
if we collectively put our addled brains together, we can. I also can't
guarantee that all the clues/answers hold true today, as I said, this was
from 2003. Have fun! Good luck!

A Pause to Ponder
Ex: 3 = WP at WDW
3 = Water Parks at Walt Disney World
(The above example is obviously not true anymore!)

1. 999 = HH at the HM
2. 1971 = Y the MKO
3. 11 = CA the WS
4. 0 = N of B in CC
5. 50,000 = SF at the W of D
6. 325 = N of A on the T of L
7. 99 = H of G at WDW
8. 13 = F to the TZT of T
9. 3 = T of SaDCTP

(Applications cheerfully accepted...)

(And 1982 = YEO...Without Eo.)

(And no Switzerland yet, so stop asking.)

And enough time to count them all, in line.

> 8. 13 = F to the TZT of T

And 1 LWD (Long Way Down)

Ask a CM if you're not sure. :)

Thanks a lot, Derek!
Can't argue with you on that one! ;)

Steve! I'm disappointed! Aren't you supposed to know 'everything' about
WDW? Didn't you write a book or something? ;)
I got 5 of the 9, but I don't know the 2 you missed.
Anybody out there know?
Ellen :)

4. 0 = Number of Bricks in Cinderella Castle

9. 3 = Time of Share a Dream Come True Parade

To the best of my knowledge, the only one that is no longer true is #7.

Wow! Thanks, Rob! You've completed the puzzle! You win...the knowledge
that you know more than the rest of us! Woo Hoo! Congrats!
Has anyone seen anything like this before at WDW? Are there others of
these? I suppose we could all come up with a bunch of new ones!

Well, between my brother and I, we know everything about WDW? (but you
probably heard that one before).
