Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia ~ Cinderella Castle Urban Legend

Welcome Tiggerific Tuesday Blog Hoppers!

 
Thank you again  to our hosts, Magical Mouse Schoolhouse, My Dreams of Disney, Heidi's Head and Disney Babies Blog.

Did you know that although Cinderella Castle cannot be taken apart during a hurricane?

Despite the recurring urban legend, this Magic Kingdom landmark sits tight during hurricanes and rides out the storm in it's usual location. Actually, Cinderella Castle was built to withstand hurricane force winds above 110 miles per hour,

Myth only. It would take weeks to disassemble and a huge crane.

The interior of the castle is composed of steel and concrete while the exterior is coated in a fiberglass reinforced gypsum plaster.
In other words, it isn't going anywhere.

Although Disney lists limits on dress (no swimwear in the dining rooms, etc.) here on their website, what exactly do people "normally" wear?   I've got you covered. Formal, Semi-Formal, Cruise Casual, Optional Dress Up, or Pirate will be noted as the evening attire on the front corner of your Personal Navigator each day. So let's break those down Formal These evenings, most guests seem to go with somewhere in the range of "Sunday Best" to cocktail dress. Some opt for tuxes and ball gowns (when else can you really wear one?) Jackets, although requested on the website, seem pretty rare. Dark slacks and a button down are more common.
