1. The Beatles officially broke up at the Polynesian Resort

On vacation there in December of 1974, John Lennon signed the papers to make their dissolution legal

2. 14 of the original rides still operate today

1. It's a Small World

2. The Haunted Mansion

3. Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

4. Tomorrowland Speedway

5. Prince Charming Regal Carrousel

6. Mad Tea Party

7. Jungle Cruise

8. Dumbo the Flying Elephant

9. Fronterirland Shootin' Arcade

10. The Hall of Presidents

11. Country Bear Jamboree

12. Walt Disney World Railroad

13. Swiss Family Tree House

14. Peter Pan's Flight

3. The ground is painted to enhance photos

After an experiment was done by Kodak, Disney opted for a painted ground to make each photo appear more vivid.

4. The hitching posts on Main Street are painted every night

Disney is known for how much detail they put into everything but did you know that each night, the hitching posts are stripped and repainted so they look fresh the next morning for guests?

5. The plants in Tomorrowland are edible

Because Walt believed the future would be self-sustaining, each plant is edible.

6. You'll never see a store in a Disney Park selling gum

No store in Disney is allowed to sell gum, a caution to keep the pavement as clean as possible

7. Presidental Fashion

Each presidents outfit in the Hall of President's is made tailored to their time Era. If there wasn't a sewing machine in their time, then Disney makes their suit hand-stitched. Another fun fact....Bill Clinton is made to be wearing his favorite Iron Man Watch

8. Every costume is handmade

The Presidents aren't the only ones to get handmade costumes. Each costume at Disney is handmade to create authenticity and detail.

9 . Disneyland has about 200 Cats to help rodent control

All spayed and neutered and properly taken care of, Disneyland is actually home to about 200 cats..what did those cats do to get lucky with such a sweet gig?

10. A Lifetime Of Disney Hotels

If you were to stay in each Disney World Hotel Room for 1 night, it would take you about 68 years.....68 years in Disney? Doesn't sound too bad to me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
