Coming And Going

I thought you might enjoy these photos of a hippopotamus at Disney's Animal Kingdom Saturday. Pretty cool how they have it set up like an aquarium, allowing you to see how graceful these guys are under the water, instead of how cumbersome they are on land. In the few minutes we stood there watching, he made four laps, so he must be pretty happy in there. Or maybe he was looking for a way out. Anyhow, these are much better than the previous pictures of a hippo I shared with you.

Up, Up And Away

Well, you're looking at the newest way that Disney has found to separate the tourist from his money. For $16, you can ride in this tethered balloon over Downtown Disney. Up it goes, sits there a while, then comes back down. It's an adventure! I guess I would be more excited if it were actually nearer to the parks, but all you're close to is Pleasure Island and the parking lot. Sure, you can see Epcot, but it's in the distance.

Look! There's a Planet Hollywood!
