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.

Around the middle of each month, James 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:

I was very happy to receive 110 correct responses to the August Mid-Month Mousy Mindboggler!

Here are the answers to last month’s photo quiz:
Photo 1: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Photo 2: Space Mountain
Photo 3: TTA PeopleMover
Photo 4: Tom Sawyer Island

As far as what they have in common, the answer I was looking for is that they all have TUNNELS or CAVES.

The winner of a Mickey Mouse pin, randomly drawn from the correct responses, was Patti M. of Germantown, WI.

I also received about a dozen incorrect responses. Many of you thought the first photo was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and not the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Also, some of you didn’t catch my line of reasoning, or did not notice the clue! That’s OK — it was the first time we tried that sort of puzzle.

If you missed it, don’t worry — Here’s another chance!

Continuing with the photo quiz with a twist idea, I’m going to show you a few cropped pictures from Walt Disney World.

You need to first identify the attraction, shop or restaurant where these pictures were taken. Don’t worry about exact location, just generally identify the location, such as “the Great Movie Ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.”

Next is the ACTUAL answer that I’m looking for!

Tell me what these images have in common. Note: It will not be something obvious, like “they are all located in the Magic Kingdom.” I’m hoping to make these challenging! And don’t forget to look for my hint!

OK, if everybody is neat and pretty, let’s begin!

So, what do they have in common, or what is the theme? (Besides the fact that they are all in the Magic Kingdom!)

HINT: “They’re GREAT!”

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 — that is, what these images have in common — IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF AN EMAIL addressed to [email protected].
