I just got back from Disneyworld - Ask me anything
We visited all the major attractions - Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, MGM, and Universal. WARNING: My wife is a Disney cultist, I'm sort of cynical about the whole "Disney" experience (but I had a good time). What do you want to know?

4. We stayed in the Animal Kindon Lodge
for a couple of days. It was a great experience. We had giraffes, zebras, bongos and more right in our backyard. Definately the highlight of our vacation.

Like I said, I'm a little cynical about DW. I prefer things that aren't manmade, I guess. :-)

3. did you know...

6. Honestly, it is amazing
how clean the whole place is. And how good most of the service is. For a cynic like me, it's almost... creepy. :scared:

10. If you don't love Disney
then your inner child is dead.

BTW: Did you go on Mission Space?

11. Yes, Mission Space was fun
...but, it was just a simulator ride. There are about 10 of them scattered throughout Disney (Star Tours, Back to the Future, etc.) It weas really well done, though.

My inner child is on life support, BTW. :-)

9. I don't love Disney
My wife does. I go along.

In Epcot, one of the shows was called "Circle of Life". In it, Timon and Pumbaa are persuaded not to build a huge resort because of the environmental damage it would cause.

My wife failed to see the irony.
