ORLANDO: Five-hundred smiling people from around the world gathered Friday in Orlando to set the Guinness World Record for the biggest smiley face.

Coinciding with and celebrating Friday's official World Smile Day, they formed the smiley face and stood shoulder-to-shoulder for ten minutes on the top parking deck of the new Amway Center mega arena, home to the NBA's Orlando Magic.

At 50 feet in diameter, the world's largest smiley face was nearly the size of a basketball court.

Travelers from across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and Brazil dressed in yellow and black ponchos to participate in the gathering. Celebrity Smile Ambassadors Melissa Rycroft and Joey Fatone were part of the record-setting fun.
