One of my most favorite useless bits of trivia has to do with the original shooting gallery at DL. They used to use real pellets! So, every night, the CMs would have to hand paint every single thing in the gallery so that it would be dry by the morning for them to get torn up again!

Wow...I don't know that I would have wanted that job!

Okay...who has any other UBOT?

DD is making me post this one, there are no bricks used in the construction of Cinderella's Castle, it's steel and concrete.

I don't know about Sleeping Beauty's castle but I'll see what I can find out.

I just read this one, for every topiary in WDW there are seven extras grown to replace it if needed.

here is some more useless trivia for you guys:

What do you think is the coolest artifact you have in the Disney archives?

Wilma W., Skokie, IL

Personally I like the #1 ticket to Disneyland, for which Roy O. Disney paid $1.00 at the Park's main gate on July 18, 1955.

What was the first Disney Broadway show not based on an animated film?

"Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida" debuted in 2000. It's based on the legendary opera.

here is this week's disney useless trivia from the disney newsletter:

What was the origin of "It's a Small World" in Disneyland? Was that Walt's idea?

Harold Q., Boise, ID

Walt had long had a wish to create an attraction about the children of the world, so when Pepsi-Cola requested Disney's help in designing their New York World's Fair pavilion as a salute to children and UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, Walt set his Imagineers to work on the project and they came up with one of the most popular Disney attractions of all time.

here is another bit of useless trivia:

Mulan's dragon buddy is Mushu and her cricket friend is Cri-Kee -- but who's her horse?

Mulan's faithful steed is Khan.

And more to go along with this one (if it hasn't already been said yet): Originally, the song that played during the attraction was SUPPOSED to be an amalgamation of all the represented countries' national anthems. Unfortunately, the writers couldn't get it to flow together correctly, and it was trashed.

I maybe wrong about this, but wasn't it also originally supposed to be a walk through attraction?

Don't know about that, but the Haunted Mansion was originally supposed to be a walk through.
