Orlando, Florida

We had a busy few days in Florida.  Phil and Chris had tickets to some of the Disney parks as well as to a Jimmy Buffett Concert.  I was in charge of trying to locate our bouncy little puffed up friend, but I didn't try too hard. 

The first park they visited was of course the Animal Kingdom.  I hoped they wouldn't come home with another pet for me to look after.

 This park is sort of an amusement park with animals, but really well done.  There is an African area complete with a safari adventure, up close with the animals.

 There is an Asian section that includes more animals such as this sleepy tiger that I readily identify with.

 Wonder if this guy likes wine as much as I do.  Perhaps he needs some.

There is a really fun roller coaster called Everest Exedition.  Not quite as cold and exhausting as the real Himalayas, but the artifacts and decorations around that section were very much like things in and around Kathmandu. 

EPCOT and The Magic Kingdom were the other two parks Phil and Chris visited. 

 There were fun rides and interesting things to see here also.

The good old Space Mountain...this roller coaster was here in the early '80s and still whizzes around in this big structure. 

 Disney wouldn't be Disney without Mickey.  Lots of them.

Finally, one more elephant photo just because you can't have too many photos of elephants.
