  5. Fun Fact: Epcot's iconic Spaceship Earth is made up of exactly 11,324 individual silver triangles. (For math geeks: Geometrically, the sphere is a variation on a pentakis dodecahedron. Got it?)

  10. Fun Fact: Anyone can grab a photo with Winnie the Pooh or Tigger. But we tip our Mickey Ears to visitors who can score a shot with Hercules or Robin Hood. Of the 150-plus characters roaming the parks, they're among the hardest to find.
