(Hint it is from someplace in the Magic Kingdom.)

Originally Posted By Goofyernmost No, not it. Looks like I stumped you folks. Where do I go to collect my prize? The following is from a small book entitled...101 Things you never knew about Walt Disney World by Kevin Yee. "...the event is so brief and so sudden, and because the truck shines its headlights directly at the car, few visitors notice who is driving: a cardboard replica of former president Lyndon Baines Johnson. He is rendered even more unrecognizable with accoutrements such as a hat and sunglasses." Although this is what the book says, I would treat it with a little skepticism due to the fact that in such a small book I have found many typo's and incorrect statements. Such as calling Saratoga Springs, Sarasota Springs. There was one in this quote as well where it called headlights, headlines. Anyway, I am obviously a fan of the incredibly obscure, so I will turn over the next question to someone that is probably more in tune with everyone else. NEXT!
