A Conversation With Frank Oz

Sure, this was during Star Wars Weekends.  But it was great hearing different stories from his impressive non-Star Wars resume as well.  Although this was the only day I saw this show, it was kind of cool to know that it wasn't exactly like the other days.  Some friends were telling us that the day they were here, he talked much more about The Muppets.  This time around he touched on different things fairly equally; such as The Muppets, Sesame Street, Star Wars, and Little Shop of Horrors.  I could've listened to him all day!!!

The Rue D' Baga Cake Walk

Port Orleans French Quarter is one of the nicest resorts to take a little stroll around.  And because of the intimately comfortable size of the resort, you also don't have to worry about getting too lost.  ;)

Displaying The Wonderment

I'm not sure how most guest view Flights of Wonder.  But I find it to be a highly enjoyable show.  Of all the years I've been visiting Animal Kingdom; I never had any initial interest in attending this attraction.  But late last year, I decided to give it a shot.  Not only is it education; but it's quite humorous as well!!!!  And with the chance to go on stage and get some cool shots; it was also the only time I've ever raised my hand to be a participant from the audience.  ;)

Because Fashion

Gotta "love" the "style" that tends to trend places.  No better place to witness it than in the parks.

Taking A Ride On The Roy O.

"I just want it to look like nothing else in the world. And it should be surrounded by a train."
- Walt Disney

Taking a ride on the Walt Disney Railroad is one of the most peaceful experiences at the park. And not only is it a mode of transportation to give from one area to another; but you'll also get the chance to see views of the Magic Kingdom that would otherwise be totally hidden.

Oh Mickey, Where Art Thou

Taking guests around the world (or other worlds) is what Disney does best. Whether it's Italy, Japan, Africa, or Happily Ever After; you can't help but to get immersed in an experience.

To do this, the details have to be perfect.... and yes, they usually are. The fact that this viewfinder looks like it might've been owned by a New World explorer, makes its use a little more authentic.

.... and no, I did not know this girl.
