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. Last month, Disney modified this policy. It is now possible to get a straw at the Animal Kingdom, but instead of plastic, … Continue reading "Good News for Straw Lovers"

Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/18-200, 1/1000s shutter, f4.8 If you listen to our friends over at the WDW Today podcast, they’ll tell you that an hour or two is more than enough time to spend in the Animal Kingdom.

Copyright © 2006 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/55-200, 1/250s shutter, f5.1 I remember reading about DiVine on some of the Disney forums and I had no idea what people were talking about.
