Posted on by Steve Barrett
I lead Hidden Mickey hunts in the four major WDW theme parks during MouseFest. 2007 will be my fifth MouseFest, and more authors, webmasters, podcasters, and guest registrants than ever before will congregate soon at this wonderful celebration. I look forward to MouseFest all year long; it’s an ideal time to reconnect with Disney friends. … Continue reading "Preparing for MouseFest, 2007"

Animal Kingdom – You “Otter” See This!

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
One of the things we love about Animal Kingdom is taking time to watch the animals, whether it be the tigers and bats on the Maharajah Jungle Trek, the meerkats, gerenuks and gorillas in Pangani Forest, the cotton-top tamarinds or lemurs around the Tree of Life, etc. One of our very favorites, though, is the … Continue reading "Animal Kingdom – You “Otter” See This!"

Tusker House Restaurant

Posted on by Jack Spence
The first change you’ll notice about the new Tusker House Restaurant is that Disney has positioned the check-in over near the Dawa Bar and the entrance is now located behind the restaurant. This has its pluses and minuses. The plus, it can get crowded over near the Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery (the old entrance). … Continue reading "Tusker House Restaurant"

I had heard that the Yak & Yeti restaurant in the Animal Kingdom was opening today. Since I had just been there a couple of days earlier and the construction walls were still up, I was a little dubious, but decided to check it out.

Good News for Straw Lovers

Posted on by Jack Spence
When the Animal Kingdom opened, Disney banned plastic straws from the park. They didn’t want to take a chance that one of these potential hazards might find its way into an animal enclosure.

Copyright © 2006 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/55-200, 1/500s shutter, f4.4 One thing I love about taking photos of the parades at Disney World is that the Cast Members love to mug for the camera.

Yak & Yeti Restaurant

Posted on by Jack Spence
Construction continues on the Yak & Yeti Restaurant in the Animal Kingdom. Instead of bricks, mortar, and plywood, Asian themeing is starting to become apparent. Windows on the second floor are clearly visible and I’m hoping this will be seating for either the full service or the counter service restaurants. The building site is starting … Continue reading "Yak & Yeti Restaurant"
