The Animal Quest

This quest is good for people who can go on any rides and are not afraid to do so. It is good for people with attention to minute details.
Items necessary: admission to Disneyland park only, a copy of this page, a stop watch.
Description: In this quest, you will travel through Disneyland searching for animals so that you can check them off your list. Some of the animals will be real, most will be fake. Start your timer when you decide to start. You may stop at any time after one hour. Once you decide to stop, add up your total points and divide by the number of minutes it took you. That is your score. To get a more printer-friendly version of this page to print out,

The list of animals is:
[ ] (2 points) A Disneyland bird (real). Dubbed by my family as "Disneyland birds" these birds are about 4 inches tall.
[ ] (2 points) 3 big, brown bears (fake). Not Whinnie the Pooh. These three bears all appear on one ride.They are all supposed to be the same bear. Find all three of them in one trip to check this off your list.
[ ] (3 points) A HUGE snake (fake). On a ride.
[ ] (3 points) 2 African Bull Elephants. same ride. (fake)
[ ] (3 points) A dynamite-holding goat. (fake)
[ ] (2 points) Mickey Mouse himself (in a costume) (real person, anyway)
[ ] (1 point) Birds who sing. (fake)
[ ] (3 points) a giant whale. (fake, and not animitronic)
[ ] (1 point) a toad. (fake)
[ ] (10 points) a real, live mouse. Disneyland has a policy of not using mouse traps or other anti-mouse methods, for obvious reasons. Mice have been spotted in Disneyland before, by myself and a few others, but they are very hard to find. I can not even give a hint as to where one might find a mouse.
