This is the fun fact I'm inspired by

"When you approach France from the United Kingdom, you stroll over the Pont des Arts inspired footbridge. This spot is reminiscent of the the Seine waterfront, complete with flower carts and streetside artists. The Eiffel Tower is 1/10th the size of the actual tower and was built following the blueprints of Gustave Eiffel."

My first attempt at a weekly challenge...

Here is the main journaling...

On the Jungle River Cruise (inspired by the movie The African Queen and from a true-life adventure series that Walt Disney produced in the early 1960's) we cruised down several major rivers of Asia, Africa and South America. Our tour was led by Riverboat Skipper Jamie who delivered a humorous narration that had the kids laughing and reciting jokes all day long, much to dad's frowns. Did you know that the Jungle Cruise does have a standard spiel with several variations, which was prepared by the Imagineers but most skippers typically create their own as they learn? It is reported that both Kevin Costner and Robin Williams were both skippers before they became famous.

The smaller journaling is all the jokes that my children recited and still recite today from the cruise...

Love these new entries!

Colins7350 - I love how you interpreted the challenge - too funny! Your page turned out fab, love those photos.

Snowdrop - Love your fact. I knew the blue prints were used from the real tower but I didn't realise it was 1/10th of the size. I've seen both and it certainly doesn't seem like it. Love how your page turned out - the greys and the pinks work so well together.

Ruby - It's crazy the amount of upkeep Disney does to keep everything looking perfect each time you visit! Your page turned out great, all those patterned papers look great together!

Momabaarjo - Welcome to your first ever weekly challenge, I hope you enjoyed it and hope you participate in many more in the future! I love that you incorporated all the jokes into the page, such a cute idea. Imagine that, Robin Williams as a skipper, I wonder how many people have him in their photos and have never realised...

Fact: do you know that Walt Disney originally designed this attraction for the Pepsi Company to benefit UNICEF at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. When the Fair closed, the attraction made its way to Disneyland and was so popular that it was one of the original attractions when Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom opened on October 1, 1971. Another fact, there are a total of 289 Audio-Animatronics Doll Figures singing "it's a small world" in five languages: English, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Swedish. And finally I must add that my favorite dolls are the Dutch ones, just too cute!!!

OK here's my page:

Here's some facts to think about next time you ride Spaceship Earth (in case you didn't already know)
Spaceship Earth weighs 16 million pounds, measures 165 feet in diameter and encompasses 2.2 million cubic feet of space.
It is covered by 11,324 triangular panels and held aloft by 6 support legs that are sunk over 100 feet into the ground.
The outer "skin" of Spaceship Earth is made up of 11,324 aluminum and plastic-alloy triangles.
If Spaceship Earth were a golf ball, the golfer would need to be one mile tall!

Thanks so much for hosting *melidy*, and for the awesome PP!

Super fun challenge! I love all the fun facts. I was inspired by the pools at the various resorts. All Star Music has two pools, the Guitar Pool and the Grand Piano Pool. Both are named for their share. The Guitar Pool has a squirting fountain in the middle of Disney's "The Three Caballeros". Also, life vests may be checked out of the Arcade for the length of your stay and at no charge. Yeah!

Here is my LO using lots of fun goodies from Capturing Magical Memories:

I've left love in the gallery up to here, I'm loving the new submissions!

renatasluis - I have been in the cave... on each trip I HAVE to go, I love the dragon... I did not however realise it was sooo long! Love how you went with a medieval regal feel as it's under the castle rather than a scary dragon theme!

roxana -289 dolls?? Crazy! I wonder how many there is in total from all the parks... must be almost pushing 1000! I always love the England ones (although thats a little biased) but I think my favourites would have to be the Japanese dolls! Although they are all quite adorable. This kit is perfect for your awesome detailed photos.

zippyoh - Haha I love that last fact about the golfer needing to be a mile long... I've read it so many times but it still amazes me every time I hear it. Your page turned out so awesome, those photo's are beautiful.

scrappinnewbie - I've not stayed at a resort at WDW, only Disneyland Paris, so I had no idea about the pools. It's super cool of disney to have a free lifevest service... but I expected nothing less from Disney! Love how bright and happy your layout is, its perfect for those photos!
