Grab your poncho and your sunscreen, because we’re heading to Florida. This week, for the park’s 50th birthday, we’ve got Walt Disney World Trivia. We hit Disneyland before, so it only seemed right to cover the park hitting the big 5-0 this month. Test your Disney Trivia skills with thirty questions this week. Good luck and keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times.
When you’re done with Walt Disney World Trivia, please leave us a review on iTunes and Podchaser. We love that feedback and it’s a fantastic way to inspire new listeners.

Episode Intro
Pack your sunscreen and your poncho, we’re heading to Florida
Howdy folks, welcome to episode 140 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. I’m your host, Brian Rollins. This week, in honor of the park’s 50th anniversary, we’re heading to Orlando to visit Walt Disney World. The park opened on October 1, 1971 and the rest is history.
This week, like every week, we’re testing your trivia skills in three rounds of ten questions each. I ask the question, you guess, and then we’ll see if you’re correct. If you need scoring rules or a sheet to keep track of your guesses, check out our website, DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
OK, get that pixie dust ready and keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle while we’re in motion. Here we go.
