A Palatial “Room” With A View? You Bet!

WDW Trivia! – “Cinderella’s Gauntlet” Continues

OK, so you guys are on a roll this week! 49% of you were right on target – the moat surrounding the castle holds approximately 3.37 million gallons of water. Wow, that’s a lot of water!

It’s amazing what random, and somewhat useful, statistics you can find on the Internet. The reported average price of a bottle of water (according to the International Bottled Water Association and as of February 24, 2012) is …
