ReplyDeleteHmm... Question 17 reads "What DAK show was created using assets from a retired entertainment offering at Disneyland?" yet the answer is the name of the "retired entertainment offering at Disneyland," instead of Festival of the Lion King, the Animal Kingdom attraction.
ReplyDeleteOops.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that. You're right, Hale. The answer to #17 should have been Festival of the Lion King. The four large floats in that show came from Disneyland's Lion King Celebration.
What can I say? I was tired when I typed that. :-}
