Do you love Disney?
Is New York City one of your favorite places to be in the Spring?
Are you amazing at solving word puzzles?
If you said "Yes !" to all of the above, then you're gonna LOVE the Time'd Square Trivia Challenge
What: Get ready for the Time'd Square Challenge, a three-hour experience designed by the fiendishly clever, one and only Jim Hill of Jimhillmedia.com.
But what will I be doing?: Prepare to repeatedly crisscross the Crossroads of the World as you seek out clues and solve all sorts of puzzles that key off of Disney & New York City history.
Your adventure starts and ends – where else ? – in front of the Disney Store.
There'll be prizes galore, merriment to spare, and some surprises along the way. Just be aware: This is a good, old-fashioned pen-and-paper kind of scavenger hunt. So be sure to bring along your ingenuity and wear some comfortable shoes. And you can do this scavenger hunt alone or compete as a group.

Well…
Join entertainment historian Jim Hill for a behind-the-scenes look at Disney's mega-hit movie "Frozen"
Brought to you by – e.t.c.: Events Tailor-made & Customized
What: Entertainment writer and Disney historian Jim Hill takes you behind the scenes at Walt Disney Animation Studios and reveals Disney's more than 60-year struggle to turn Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tale into a full-length animated feature. Over the course of this 90 minute-long talk and workshop, Mr. Hill will share stories about the Studio's earlier attempts to translate this classic story to the big screen (can you imagine Elsa as a bawdy ex-showgirl voiced by Bette Midler?) as well as teach program participants how to rosemale (i.e., the decorative folk painting of Norway that helped to give "Frozen" its distinctive look).
