THE MOUSY
MINDBOGGLER

If you subscribe to the AllEars® Weekly Newsletter, you’ll know that we run a little game called the Mousy Mindboggler. Sometimes it’s a word game, sometimes it’s a riddle, sometimes it’s some other brain-teasing challenge — but it’s always fun!

Once each month, in the AllEars® Bits and Bites issue, our friend James Dezern (known as “dzneynut” around several Disney discussion forums) supplies us with a puzzle of his own design. The puzzles have some sort of Disney theme, of course, but will not be restricted to the Disney theme parks. The type of puzzle is up to James. Also up to him? The bestowing of a prize — a collectible Disney pin from his extensive collection.

Around the middle of each month, James also Shares the Magic in another way — by posting a puzzle here in this AllEars.Net Guest Blog. Again, the subject of the puzzle will vary, and James will award the winner of the challenge a collectible Disney pin! On a trial basis, we’ll be running the same Mindboggler puzzle in this Guest Blog as we will in the month-end Bits and Bites issue of the AllEars Newsletter.

Here’s the link to this month’s puzzle:

So… Think you know Disney inside and out? Put on your thinking cap!

This new puzzle continues the theme park subject by looking at DIsney’s Hollywood Studios.

The object is of course to have fun, BUT if you want a chance to win a Disney collectible pin, arrange the letters that are circled in the puzzle to come up with the answer to the bonus question, which relates to the puzzle theme. This month, we think that the bonus clue is tough enough that you’ll actually have to complete most of the puzzle to come up with the solution! Good Luck!

Send your resulting answer IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF AN EMAIL addressed to [email protected]

Send the bonus term or phrase by email no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on October 7, 2013. All correct answers will be entered into a random drawing, and the winner will be awarded a Disney pin. The answers and drawing winner will be posted in this Guest Blog, along with a new puzzle, in mid-October.

GOOD LUCK!

AUGUST SOLUTION:

Here is the answer key to last month’s Mid-Month Mousy Mindboggler:

/ae/mb081613-key.pdf

As many of you knew (242 of you, along with readers from the AllEars Newsletter!), the bonus clue answer was the World Showplace, which by the way, has some of the largest restrooms on property! (Some of you made the mistake of calling it the World Showcase.) This pavilion hosts the annual Epcot Pin Event, which just concluded, and one of our favorites, the Party for the Senses, which occurs on Saturday nights during the annual Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Not to be missed!

Jim picked two winners at random from all of the correct responses to receive a DIsney pin. They were Jeff F. of Watertown, WI and Lisa Z. . Thanks for playing, everyone!

We hope you enjoy this Mousy Mindboggler, and we welcome any comments or suggestions.
