Hey, great video, but wanted to make 2 nit picky corrections. I’m a engineer in Florida and design storm ponds for a living. According to the water management districts that regulate storm water a retention pond is a dry pond and a detention pond is a wet pond. Retention/detention has to do with the water quality volume of the pond. A dry pond “retains” the water quality volume and infiltrates it into the ground. A wet pond “detains” the water and slowly lets it out through a pipe. The wet portion of a detention pond is just the groundwater thats exposed by removing the dirt. Also you mentioned that ponds can connect to a sewer system, but it is illegal for a storm water pond to connect to a sanitary sewer system. Many years ago this type of connection was possible, but through the EPA’s Clean Water Act those type of sysems have been phased out. These are super nit picky details that would only mater to an engineer, but you seem so detail oriented in all your videos thought I’d pass this along. Again great video, thanks for all your hard work!

Now THIS is the type of question I can rely on Rob to answer!

Not gonna lie... when this popped up I thought the title was “How Many Bodies are in the Water at Walt Disney World” lololololol.

“Are you going to pay attention to a pond along the side of the road?” It’s FL. If I’m in the passenger seat, I’m paying attention. There could be gators over there, and since that’s not typically something I see every day, I’m looking.

The b-roll choice at 2:30 made me laugh out loud.

Dry ponds, or as they are also called... holes.

30 seconds in, and I’m like, “Yes, I really do think about this!!” I’m so in! Let’s do this!

You're like the Wendover Productions of Disney Parks and I love it.

Do a video on the islands in WDW. Some don't have names on Google maps. Does Disney have names for them? If so, what's their names?

Can you do a video on all the odd and strange animals found around DisneyWorld? Not sure if they were someone’s pets that got out or what the deal was but when we had breakfast at Fort Wilderness back in 2013 there were 2 monkeys that looked like Marcel from friends (capuchin monkeys) walking across the road right in front of Trails End Restaurant. With my best dad joke at the time I told my son to look because we must be eating at the Tails End restaurant. He just shook his head in disapproval like most kids do after an amazing dad joke and told me to stop monkeying around lol I couldn’t have been more proud at that moment. Fittingly ever since that day our family refers to that restaurant as the Tails End.

Tune in next week to discover which of the vessels operated on the Disney World waterbodies are ships, and which are boats. :-) Thanks for another delightful video Rob.

I'm surprised you didn't delve into the water management portions. Like how when the property was initially prepared, all the storm water control systems were passive / unpowered or use footage from an old epcot magazine where they did a small amount of filming from the rcid command and control center

Whoa for a moment I thought how many bodies are in the water at Disney ... Mobsters alert !

The production values on your videos just keeps getting better and better. This looks like something you’d watch on the Magical Express on the way to the parks. Great work!

Retention ponds are not about flood control and are about retaining water on the land so that it can filter into the aquifer below. If it was allowed to run off, then the aquifer would run dry and sinkholes would be a SERIOUS problem across Central Florida (more than now). For every square yard of concrete, you cover the soil with, you have to have so many cubic yards of retention capacity.

love watchin rob talk about the obscure stuff, stuff that I think about.

I misread this as, "how many bodies in the water". O_0

I read it normally what’s wrong with you people

Hey Rob, since The Mighty Ducks are coming back, you should do a video about Disney and the Anaheim sports market. Walt Disney was involved with the Hollywood Stars and Anaheim Angels baseball teams. And of course Disney getting in the NHL with the Ducks. And how it was all used to make Anaheim a vacation destination

I wish Midway to Main Street would cover a question that popped in my head...”Why did Victoria and Alberts end up in Disney World? A five star restaurant that at Disney?

I don't know about other bodies, but I learned recently that RCID has (some) control over the level of the water in the World Showcase Lagoon / Crescent Lake / canal that leads to Hollywood Studios. For example, when they're expecting a large rain storm, they drain much of the water to accommodate runoff from the park and surrounding areas. Only problem being is if it doesn't rain as much as they thought, the water level stays low for a while since it's harder to fill than to drain.

Now that we know about the waterways I'll ask this: How Large Is Disney World's "Navy?" How many boats are in the fleet not necessarily including water ride vehicles, but adding that number would be interesting too.

This is EXACTLY why I subscribed lol this is so interesting. Thanks!

I’ve been looking for this video FOREVER

Hey rob. i've been binging your content for a few weeks now, and i'm running out of video. I've already watched your entire Q&A series and I want you to bring it back

this is the disney content i need

Welp. That was an abrupt end. Based on Rob being so complete, I just assumed there was several minutes more. Now I want to hear more.

Well, now I know the difference between a retention and detention pond. Thanks Rob!

Great video Rob! From what I could put together from this video, once a body of water like a ditch or borrow gets traffic on it, it moves to a higher classification. A ditch becomes a (closed circuit) canal, a borrow becomes a lake, etc.

Never really thought about this but now that you took the time to research I find it really interesting! Love all the great info that you gather! Keep it up! 👍

I like how many are connected i thought you would show more of that. Boats are a fun mode of transportation!

This is channel is amazing. I learn something awesome on each video. Thanks Rob ✌🏻

Very cool!! Loved it!!

i have ALWAYS wondered about all those bodies of water, why else would i be watching this awesome video.

All-star Movies to Detention Ponds: "You had one job!!!"

I love this sort of stuff! Well done.

Now this is what Rob does best

Also, idea for another video not sure if you ever heard of the GM future liner and general motors parade of progress that ran from 1939 until the mid 1940's. Futuristic concept trucks that transformed into stages with displays that would visit small towns across America during their state fairs and other events, showcasing advances in technology and most specifically what GM and Chevrolet was doing for you.

Finally, the answer to the question I didn't know I had

As a kid, we were taught that a pond becomes a lake when it's big enough to navigate mechanically (or go water skiing). My question related to that, when does a boat become a ship?

Very informative video thank you

Lots, and lots, and lots of... WATER!!!!!!

Um. Excuse me?!? I think about them all the time. We don't have water in the mid-Atlantic

The real question is how many of those bodies of water permit fishing.

I have actually though about this 😂😂 thank god you make these videos

More content! Soooo good

They day you posted this I was asking myself the same thing! What a coincidence.

Cool! Now taste test them

I'd be curious to know when it comes to making sure Magic Kingdom for example runs smoothly day to day who behind the scenes has the most stressful jobs... If there is already a video on this let me know! I love this channel so much!

ill never look at another body of water the same. Thank You

As always great video! Now that we have water bodies and drainage, previous videos such as garbage/waste disposal I'm genuinely interested in how many vehicles does Disney own? Who maintains them? What about the Reedy Creek Fire department? What interesting and unique equipment would they have for "Disney level emergencies"?

I really like a lot of the B-roll that you took for this. What camera do you typically shoot on, and do you do any stabilization of your shots in post?

Love to "geek out" on some Rob. Yes! I dooo think of bodies of water. Being from Houston, TX. ((Bayou City) I'm 3/10th mile from Simms Bayou. Remember Hurricane Harvey 2017??? While "my bayou" was 12 ft. from over topping (Thank God was widen & deepened) A sudden "frog chocker" can send your car a flooding. Even in Nov. I've experienced a shower or 2 in Fla. Don't get me started on ditches. Remember scene one in Driving Miss Daisey? The water ways @ any Dis theme park is a marvel to behold! BTW I used rain water for "closet flush" after Houston's Winter Storm. Yeah! calculating how much water per flush. OyyyyveYYY!!!

This would’ve been a great April Fools video to. Just say a number and nothing else lol

Rob, I'd suggest you make a public records request of RCID to see if they have a document that defines how they classify bodies of water in the District. You got me curious, man! 😅

I’ve never even been to WDW and I’m very interested

Well, you gotta count all the guest and cast members too. We *are* made of mostly water after all 😀

I think the water bodies at WDW are so charming

Thanks.

I liked for the "fluid" pun

Rip little Timmy who went into the not so magical water

lol. sits on a swamp!!! lol

Does disney have its own clean water production site and do they own the sewage process site?

Last time I checked there were only a couple of bodies in the water

thanks for the info. here's a comment for the algorithm

This video could be used to teach the concept of percentages

When did yesterworld change thaer name to this

I would have ended with ..... afloat. Anyway, nice video Rob. Who's Amphicar was that?

how much of the water is emergency water for fire (here in the UK most big places are based around "lakes" which are mainly there just in case of fire) so they are carefully places.

How man toilets 🚽 do they have?

We're dark Minded lol

The first 3 words I read How many bodies 💀

...erg...just read the title of this vid as “How many bodies are in the water of Disney World?”.......TWIST!!......

Misread the title: How Many Bodies are at Disneyworld.

I read this title wrong

TLDR: A LOT *Should be another great video!
