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 the last crossword puzzle.

We received 69 correct responses, all of you knowing that the working name for the UNICEF Exhibit, one of the four attractions planned for the New York World’s Fair, was the “Pepsi Cola Exhibit.” After Disney took control of the project, which Pepsi was unhappy with, the concept was changed to a boat ride system and the name changed to “Children of the World.” After the World’s Fair was over, the attraction was moved to Disneyland in 1966, but Pepsi’s sponsorship was dropped in favor of Bank of America. Pepsi-Cola had sponsored several attractions and restaurants since 1955, but by 1990 those were gone.

The winner of a Goofy pin, randomly drawn from the correct responses, was Rich M. of Philadelphia, PA.

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

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