"Stuff"

These first pictures are from Animal Kingdom.

This little girl is SUCH an animal lover!  She doesn't always know how to show her affection and interest properly without being overbearing to the animals but it's certainly not because she doesn't want to be nice to them.

This is in the "affection section" at AK.  They have brushes for the animals too and Kay loves to brush them as well.

One reason I love Animal Kingdom - some beautiful scenery.  This is all scenery on the safari.

Ankola (or Watusi) cattle on the safari.  The horns on these cows, while they can be up to 8 ft. from tip to tip, are very light as they are almost completely hollow.

You see him lurking back there?  The cheetah's are usually lying in the shade and are not real easy to see or get pictures of.  When we went by this time, there was some kind of  antelope across a ditch from the cheetah that he was Very interested in.

This is what he was watching.

Interestingly, there are barriers - ditches, fences, etc. - in certain parts of the safari for obvious reasons.  However, Disney has gone through GREAT pains to ensure that none of the "unnatural" barriers can be seen unless you know they are there and are looking for them.  It looked for all the world like the cheetah was going to attack at any moment but what we knew from a documentary we have seen (or a book read or something) is that there is a HUGE ditch (both in width and depth) along with fencing that's hardly seen unless you're looking for it.  People on the safari were saying, "Oh my goodness!  Is it going to attack it?"

Another area of the park and some more scenery around the park.

And now Hollywood Studios:

One of the many "citizens of Hollywood" that walk around the "old" streets of Hollywood entertaining, etc.  Notice his banana gun in his holster.  He said it was in case there was any monkey business going on.  They all represent people from the 30's and 40's and any conversation they have with you is strictly "in character".

This picture is amusing to me.  :-)  (Kevin and I both had the song "Stop and Let Me Tell You" going through our heads while this picture was being taken.  I loved it when I got picked to hold a sign for that song.)

Kaelyn "riding" the giant ant on the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground.  Ironically, that movie came out long enough ago that most of the kids playing on the playground, Kaelyn included, know nothing about the movie.  :-)  (Kevin just googled it and he said the [original] movie came out 22 years ago in '89.  Boy do I feel old!)

Kevin back by the Star Tours ride.

Hollywood Studios' replica of the real water tower at Disney's movie studios in California.

Tower of Terror

The park's icon - Sorcerer's Mickey's hat.

Waiting for the Pixar parade.  Kaelyn doens't like to wear sunglasses I think because of the way they feel on her face.  That's why she wasn't looking cool like us.  :-)  Just joking - about the looking cool part.

I LOVED THIS!  A walking Mr. Potato Head character.  This is the first time we've seen him like this.  We had seen this parade one other time but he wasn't a walking character.  His eyes spun around in circles and his eyebrows moved!  So cool!  Okay.... all done with my little kid moment now. ;-)

I asked Kaelyn what her favorite part of the parade was.  I was sure she would say Mr. Potato Head but she said that it was Jessie and Bullseye.  Guess it was just ME having that little moment of excitement!
