High School Musical Popup Version over Thanksgiving

I don't know if you happened to watch High School Musical again over Thanksgiving but Disney Channel added the popup facts that were pretty interesting. Here are some of the ones I can remember:

The houses used for Gabriela and Troy in the movie were just a couple of houses apart.

Lucas' hats in the movie were bought at a cool clothing store in Utah.

The ski lodge used at the beginning is not a lodge but a nice building in Midway, Utah.

The opening scene is supposed to take place about midnight in the movie but was really filmed in the daytime.

There was no real snow outside during the filming because it was really August. The snow was made out of falling potato flakes.

Ms. Darbus' glasses were actually huge sunglasses but they replaced the lenses.

Zac Efron was born on October 18th in San Luis Obispo, California.

The stage used for the auditions was a different school.

The big Wildcats sign in the cafeteria is the same one you see the gym.

Vanessa's food was glued to her tray in the cafeteria dance scene.

They tried to find a skateboarder who played cello but couldn't find one.

The garden on top of the school was created for the movie. They used a crane to get the plants up there.

A big storm came right when Zac and Vanessa were filming and they had to run downstairs.

Gabriella's sweater didn't come with sparkles on it so the costume designer took it to a "sparkle expert" in Hollywood who adds sparkles to clothes for famous musicials, dancers, and ice skaters!

Lucas used 9 hats during the movie.

The large poster of Zac on the wall was only used for Vanessa's solo scene and then put away.

The first scene filmed was when Corbin and Monique are outside the school trying to to act like spies.

The last scene filmed was when Zac snuck up onto Vanessa's balcony and sang 'The Start of Something New' alone to her. She and Zac where the only 2 actors left and she started crying for real.
