Everyone has a favorite mountain at a Disney park even if it’s just to admire it from a distance. My personal selection is the one with the little yodeler outfitted in mountain climber attire. You know the one. If he goes over the edge, the game ends. Anyway, Disney’s mountains refers to: Splash Mountain, Big … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Mountains"
