Cinderella Castle is 187' tall, so a 6" model would have to be built to
a scale of 374:1. The area of the Magic Kingdom is about 106 acres, and
if built to the same scale it would be a little over 33 square feet,
which you could probably squeeze onto a 5-1/2 x 6-foot table.

That's a pretty severe ratio. The smallest commercial modeling scale I'm
aware of is 220:1 (called Z scale). Put it another way, this ratio is
about 1/32" to the foot. I'd use that ratio, 384:1, to make things
easier to calculate. Hmm, guests only 6/32" or 3/16" tall....

Okay, so I did say my math skills were rusty, didn't I? Where I said
1/4-inch I should have said 1/4-foot, or about 3". So your original idea
wasn't as far off as I had suggested.

My bad. Sorry.
