The Disney-Nature film for Earth Day 2012 is Chimpanzees… For the last few years, there has been a sand sculpture for the Disney Nature movie (this year, we also saw a sand sculpture at Disney's Animal Kingdom) The detail on these is amazing. Not only that, but we've seen them "redoing" or "refurbishing" continue reading Epcot Flower and Garden Festival 2012 – World Showcase Plaza area … Bambi’s Butterfly House is once again off to your right, around behind Ice Station Cool… Amazing level of detail from a phone camera! The butterflies seem more willing to pose in the mornings when things are still quite in their "house" – notice the little lady bug (or as Sandy & Harry call continue reading Epcot Flower and Garden Festival 2012 – Butterflies and the Lagoons … Our Epcot Flower and Garden Festival 2012 posts are going to be “mostly photo posts” – we noted that the Flower & Garden Festival has decreased in recent years. Fewer topiaries, fewer events for Florida residents (weekends only now), general events are nearly non-existent, and fewer Flower Power concerts (weekends only now). One of our continue reading Epcot Flower and Garden Festival 2012 – Entrance and Future World … We recently found ourselves at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with an appetite – we didn’t want “counter service” and we didn’t want large meals – solution… sharing appetizers from the Hollywood Brown Derby 🙂 We arrived around 2:00 without ADRs, and we seated immediately. It was cool & comfortable, not overly noisy either. Nora started with continue reading Lunch at Brown Derby … with friends and few photos… When we returned from our recent cruise, we wanted to continue the “vacation feeling” for the whole day — so, we made reservations for dinner at bluezoo and asked Calvin & Kate to join us. We contacted Chad (remember him from the Food & Wine Classic?) and asked if he continue reading Dinner at bluezoo … In December, Disney World offered a special calendar to Annual Passholders – interestingly, you could only get it at Animal Kingdom at one specific location. Nick drove over and picked up one (nora was working as usual), and it will soon be going to a new home (hi Lisa!). The layout of the calendar is continue reading Annual Passholder Calendar for 2012 … Due to a long awaited vacation in mid-December as well as trying to keep up with our other businesses we did not get to do Christmas at WDW. Normally we visit often in December and it helps us get in the holiday spirit. If you have never experienced the magic of the holidays at WDW continue reading 2011 Holidays and Wall-E Ornament … The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is one of our favorite things to see at Walt Disney World during the holidays. We have been quite busy with our other businesses so we have not had much time to enjoy the holiday events at Walt Disney World. We have however made continue reading Osborne Lights – Disney’s Hollywood Studios … Safari Camp & Lunch After two hours we were ready for a break. The break comes at a custom built safari camp that sits at the highest point on the savannah. Our safari truck pulled up to a gate that was opened and then closed behind us (have to protect us from the animals). We continue reading Wild Africa Trek – Lunch and the end of our Trek … Our Wild Africa Trek at Disney’s Animal Kingdom continues… When we left you, nick had successfully crossed the bridges and all 12 trekkers had made it to our private savannah tour vehicle. (Crossing the bridges post is here) The tour vehicle is much smaller than the big trucks used on the Kilimanjaro Safari. Our truck continue reading Wild Africa Trek – Savannah Tour before Lunch … |
