Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/18-200, 1/500s shutter, f5.6 I happened upon this little guy having breakfast while walking on the path between Saratoga Springs and Downtown Disney.

Lawn Mower Tree

Posted on by AllEars
For those of you not familiar with the “Lawnmower Tree” it’s an interesting oddity located at the Fort Wilderness Campground. It seems that years before Walt Disney World opened, someone leaned an old, push-style lawnmower against a tree and left it there. Over the years, the tree slowly grew around it. When the campground was … Continue reading "Lawn Mower Tree"

When you enter the building from the main entrance, the first thing you’ll notice is the statue of Mickey has been removed. I have no idea if this is temporary or permanent. Only time will tell. Also, half … Continue reading "Contemporary Resort Updates 8/22/2007"
