Scoring

0 – 2  Correct – you’re probably overdue for a trip to Disney World.

3 – 5 Correct – Not bad. You may not NEED to book a trip to Disney to refresh just yet. Maybe in a year?

6 – 8 Correct – Impressive. Better than I would have scored if I hadn’t been writing the questions myself.

9 Correct – A perfect score? Hmm…I’m skeptical. Are you a Cast Member? Disney Tips employee? Disney Historian? Maybe next time, I’ll have to make the questions harder…

Well, however, you did, please join me in hoping the upcoming film does the classic attraction justice!
