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® newsletter, our friend James Dezern (known as “dzneynut” around several Disney discussion forums) supplies us with a puzzle of his own design.

Every month, James also Shares the Magic in another way — by posting an all-new puzzle here in this AllEars.Net Guest Blog. The subject of the puzzle will vary, and James will award the winner of the challenge a collectible Disney pin!

This month, James writes:

Here is the solution to last month’s crossword puzzle:

We received 40 correct responses. All of you knew that the section of the moderate resort Dixie Landings that opened in February 1992 was called Alligator Bayou. The other section of this resort was referred to as the Magnolia Bend Mansions. In 2001, it was merged with Port Orleans Resort to form one huge moderate resort. The Dixie Landings part of the combined resort is now referred to as the Riverside area. The potentially controversial nature of the original resort name may have had something to do with the name change.

The winner of a Disney Cruise Line pin, randomly drawn from the correct responses, was Stefanie V. of Ada, MI.

If you missed it, that’s OK, because here’s another chance!

Continuing with the special puzzle series concentrating on Disney History, the subject of this month’s puzzle is “This Month in Disney History, March.” All of these events happened sometime during the month of March. Please note, for this puzzle ALL of the clues are used.
