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!

Here is the solution to the last crossword puzzle.

We received 48 correct responses; all of you knew that historically the Disneyland Resort has closed on only several special occasions. The first occurred in November 1963 following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The second closure occurred following the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01.

The winner of a Mickey pin, randomly drawn from the correct responses, was Brent B. of Bellevue, NE.

If you missed it last month, 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 will be “This Month in Disney History, October.” All of these events happened sometime during the month of October. Please note, for this puzzle ALL of the clues are used.

The object is, as always, to have fun, but if you’d like a chance to win a Disney collectible pin, send me the answer IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF AN EMAIL addressed to [email protected].

Send your entries no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on November 29, 2016. 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 in late September.

As always, any feedback on the puzzle format or topics would be appreciated! Drop me a line at [email protected].

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
