Do the number on the small world clock have any meaning to them?
We saw the number 6 and 7 together and 2 was at the top, we saw 1 and 9 together also. And was just wondering if that had any meaning to do with its opening, and stuff like that.
 
I know that the clock opens on the hour and little soldiers come out, and, I could be wrong here, but I believe that it opens on the half-hour as well. I'm unsure of the importance of the positioning of the numbers...I thought they were in the normal clock order until I read this question.

It does open up at the half hour. I discovered this the last time I was there. I looked at my watch and it was 9:30am. It was the first time I'd seen this!
 
I never knew about the figures coming out on the half hour! I'm going to have to check that out on the next trip!

Does anyone have a picture of the clock? Somehow, I can't bring up a clear mental picture of it.

Isn't Disney amazing? Always another detail to notice!

It's that white decorated wall on the right towards the back of the picture. The walls open up, and chimes.

When you get into the boat, it would be on your immediate left. It's not something I noticed until I went at 9:30, and saw how the walls openned up.
 
It opens up on the 15 and 45 minute mark as well. I have a picture of it from when we were on the boat. I will try to get it attached.
 
The refurb they did a while back was superb, so bright, fresh. And a touch of DL too. The music is so vibrant now too. Here are a few photos of the clock.............

Thanks for the pictures, it helps me explain my question. I know this is a clock, I know the doors open and tell the time, however to the right of the doors, when they're closed, there are numbers that don't tell the time. They are in no special order, that I can tell, but knowing Disney they must mean something. Maybe it's Walts social security number or something. :confused3

For instance did you know the red, white, and yellow pipes on the walls, and ceiling, on Dinosaur are the formulas for ketchup, mustard, and mayo, because the sponsor of the ride is McDonald's.
 
It looks like just random 0-9 thats all but there's always something behind it .
