    I once had a guest ask me if there were any dead bodies down in the utilidors. I laughed and explained the true purpose.

    Umm, I think the city of San Francisco is a bit bigger than the Magic Kingdom parking lot (the Magic Kingdom parking lot is 125 acres; I'm pretty sure San Francisco is bigger. SF - 49.2 sq. mi. = 31,488 acres. Might be able to fit all 27,000 acres of the entire Walt Disney World property - all four theme parks, two water parks, 23 resorts, golf courses, Downtown Disney, and more - in the "land size" of San Francisco...)

    On the topic of "land size":

    The entire Magic Kingdom will fit inside the "footprint" of Kilimanjaro Safaris at Animal Kingdom - and inside the World Showcase lagoon at EPCOT.

    Magic Kingdom: 107 acres
    EPCOT: 300 acres
    Hollywood Studios: 89 acres
    Animal Kingdom: 500 acres

    Have you ever dreamed the dreams of the children...?
