The weather was *perfect* today for some fun time at Animal Kingdom. I went to Rafiki's Planet Watch -- Petted a Skink, and some goats. I also was very excited to finally meet Brer Rabbit with Brer Bear at the entrance. Kilimanjaro Safari's didn't have many animals out, but we did have to stop for a White Rhino in our path.

The weather was gorgeous and the crowds were small -- I walked right on to Expedition Everest. I love the smaller crowds and great weather this time of year!

I just watched this special on Travel Channel. I do love Samantha Brown. She really gets the Disney Magic, and I secretly want to hang out with her.

She had a couple of good tips. In France at EPCOT, they have a slushy Grand Marnier drink that she says is good. She gives the usual good tips like explaining FastPass and recommending you take a break at the resort in the heat of the day and the usual practical advice. She also showed this really cool Vine Lady at Animal Kingdom - this woman looks like she's walking ivy. I'm sure she's on stilts of some kind, but she just kind of quietly lurks in the trees and smiles. Cool!

I am completely jealous that Samantha Brown got to go to Cirque du Soleil and do the fabric-hanging-from-the-ceiling trick with the trainers! That is my favorite part!

I was also excited to see a preview of the Nemo attraction at Disneyland in the old 20,000 Leagues submarines. It looks great. I wasn't sure if I should let it be a surprise, but I couldn't resist watching.

When will I go to a Disney Park again?

Here are some recent photos of me and a bunch of family members. My favorite is the RARE photo of us with both Pluto and Goofy! We were the last family they let in for the group and since we had a cute little one with us, Goofy followed us over to Pluto's photo area, too! They were so fun.
