Facts 391-420

Over 400 Disney facts! *applause* Thank you, thank you, you're too kind! lol This has been an incredible ride for me. At first I thought this would only get like, 100 reads and the read count would go up SOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOW because I thought hardly anyone would really read it. I originaly made this for my Disney followers, but pretty much most of everyone of my followers are reading this. So instead of 100 reads I have over 500 reads! That is incredible! Thank you guys so muc for the support. I will continue to make different Theme Pages in the future when a certain movie pops up into my head and depending how many facts I find about the subject.

I just want to quickly take this time to shout out to @MoxieAfterMath for supplying a fact for me, and shoutouts to @ranga_and_proud, @XxBewarexX, @DisneyProject. I want to thank these guys for adding this book to their reading lists, for voting, and/or commenting. Thank you for your support!
