3) Mel Blanc, who voiced Bugs Bunny and many other Warner Brothers animated characters, worked with Walt Disney one time only. What was it for, and who did he voice?

Uncle Orville in Carousel of Progress. (He also voiced some of his Looney Tunes characters for Who Framed Roger Rabbit - obviously not working with Mr. Disney directly, but it was for the Disney Company.)

A Ski Resort Walt Disney wanted to build in the Mineral King Valley in CA.

I believe that Mel also worked with Disney:

1937 - vocal manerisms for Dopey in Snow White after the death of Eddie Collins

1940 - Gideon & Figaro in Pinocchio. The speach lines for Gideon were cut when it was decided to make the character mute. However he does hiccup a few times.

1963 - Tiger & Talbot in The Sword and the Stone

After Walt's death...

1970 - The Frog in The Aristocats

1) During the concept phase of World Showcase where was the USA pavilion to be situated?

Ooh, these are hard ones.

I believe the USA pavilion was originally planned to be situated in the front & center of the World Showcase...basically between Future World and the rest of the World Showcase.

Correct.

Apparently, it was questioned as to whether to have a USA pavillion or not.

It was meant to be a large glass building with Mexico and Canada on mirroring sides to represent the respective geographic positions of the three countries.
