Freaky Fridays: April Fools Fact or Legend?


Fact or Legend? 

Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom was so crowded on Opening Day that they ran out of Pepsi & Coke. Pepsi botched its handling of the shortage and ended up thrown out of the park.



LEGEND! Walt Disney World suffered from poor attendance for its first two months. In fact, Roy Disney had believed the project was doomed and would ruin the company.

DISNEYLAND once allowed guests to fish from a dock on Tom Sawyer Island.
