Disney Facts!

Facts 1171-1200

We have reached 1200 facts!

For those of you who have noticed, there was a slight mix up in the numbering of the facts. One of my readers gladly pointed out that instead of moving from 1099 facts to 1100, I accidentally skipped to 2000.

That's huge difference and I can't believe I didn't notice that! xD

I'm pretty sure either you guys probably noticed and didn't tell me, or you guys might have had the same problem as me.

So I would to give a big shout out to @SugarCubes4 for pointing out that mistake for me!

Alright then, moving on to the facts!
