Here are the answers to yesterday’s Common Bonds Quiz. You were to take three words or phrases and determine where at Walt Disney World all would be applicable. I hope you did well.

As always, this quiz is just for fun. No winners will be announced and no prizes awarded.

Jesse Owens
Neil Armstrong
Alucobond

Spaceship Earth contains these three elements. Jesse Owens is seen in a theater news clip competing at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and the ticket taker is holding a newspaper proclaiming “Owens Wins Gold.” A family is watching Neil Armstrong land on the moon from the comfort of their living room. The triangular tiles that make up Spaceship Earth are made of a material called Alucobond. This is a polyethylene plastic chemically bonded to two layers of anodized aluminum — and are self-cleaning in the rain.

That’s it for today’s quiz. I hope you got them all correct.

For those of you who didn’t do very well on the non-theme park questions, this means you need to get out of your rut and do a little exploring. Just because you’re staying at the Polynesian Resort, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check out the All Star Resorts just to see what they’re all about. Before I moved to Orlando, I always went hotel hopping during my vacations here. Disney does a quality job on everything and it’s worth your time to see all of their handiwork.

  1. Never seen you do this before, and I have to admit it’s VERY original. Whether I know them or not (more often the former), it’s great fun!

  2. We always enjoy your Disney quizzes, and do them as a family activity. We usually learn something we never knew about Disney before too. Thank you for putting these together for us, this one was particularly fun!

  3. Jack, this was fantastic! Some brought back memories of places I haven’t been in years (POFQ – the resort I stayed at on my first ever Disney trip in 1995, which, at the time was just PO) and some were things that have changed since my last trip (Storybook Circus). I think it’s just about time that I take another trip!!

  4. As always a great quiz! I am a shamed of myself for only getting half right. I should have had my morning coffee first! Maybe I would have thought clearer. POP Century was the one I could have kicked myself, we had a room right next to the Mickey Phone!

  5. Hi Jack,

    I knew I’d kick myself today for a couple but there were a few that I truly didn’t know. I need a vacation obviously 😉

    Please keep the blogs coming – they’re always fun and interesting.

  6. Hi Jack,

    The first six were easy as pie….and then I “hit the wall” starting with # 7. I was totally stumped with most of the rest.
    It was really fun, though. Hope to See Ya’ Real Soon!

  7. Hi Jack! This was my favorite quiz yet! Keep them coming! I missed the first one. Believe it or not, after 27 trips to WDW, I have never visited Tom Sawyer Island. I know, me bad. Next time, I promise… 🙂

  8. I’ve only been to disney world 3 times (only 2 of which I can really remember) and I got 18 correct. That was much more than I would’ve thought I would know when I first glanced over this quiz! Love all your quizzes, thanks!!

  9. (yay for getting #10!! haha)

    Great quiz, definitely gave me some inspiration for more places to explore when we visit in a few weeks!

  10. A wonderfully creative, fun, and interesting quiz Jack.

    My favorite part was “free kittens to a good home’ on the SHREDDED T-Shirt!

    Thanks for all you do.

    Dan

  11. hey Jack
    As soon as I saw the answers for the ones I missed they made perfect sense. I did not do as well as I would have hoped. I guess this means I need to plan a vacation to disney world sooner than I thought. can’t wait for your next blog and as always keep up the great work.

  12. Jack,

    Great quiz! Is there any chance I could get a good copy of the third BTM pic? The people in the front row look…familiar.

    Thanks!

  13. My daughter and I got them all, including the “double” answer in #24. Of course, we are frequent visitors to our favorite place in the world…
