Saying "From the Onion" and "may be offensive" is redundant, isn't? :D:

To answer the question? Given historical precedent, it takes 108 bags of ammunium nitrate fertilizer, 150 gallons of nitromethane fuel, and 850 pounds of industrial-mix ANFO to completely level one acre of urban structures. And given that combination has an explosive yield of the equivalent of 5,000 pounds of TNT, and given that the surface area of the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World is 300 acres, you would need 1,500,000 pounds of TNT to level the area. And since the C4 is 1.34 times as explosive as TNT, it would require 5,597 tons of C4 to level the Magic Kindom. And the whole of the Walt Disney World property is 30,000 acres or so, you would need 56,000 tons of C4 to completely level it, theoretically, not taking into account the generated shock wave and atmospheric effects of such an explosion.

So now know, and knowing is half the battle.

YO JOE!!!

except you are forgetting that it would be concentrated in a small area, not the enite property.
