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, commemorating the 20th anniversary of AllEars.Net.

We received 51 correct responses; all of you knowing that the theme of the 15-month celebration of Walt Disney World’s 25th Anniversary, which actually began in 1996, was “Time to Remember the Magic.” The celebration was highlighted by the conversion of Cinderella Castle into what many people lovingly referred to as the Pepto-Bismol®-Pink Cake! You either loved it or hated it; I heard there were many cancelled weddings that year!

The winner of a Figment pin, randomly drawn from the correct responses, was Danielle M. of Bartonsville, PA.

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

Starting this month we are going to go back to crossword puzzles, but continue the special puzzle series I started last month, concentrating on Disney History. The subject of this month’s puzzle will be “This Month in Disney History, February.” All of these events happened sometime during the month of February. Please note, for this puzzle ALL of the clues are used.
