Tadpoles on Steroids?

While walking through the Magic Kingdom we stopped to look at a show going on at the castle.  I happened to look down into the water where the boat ride used to run.  I noticed tadpoles.  While I know what a tadpole looks like I was thrown off when I saw the tadpoles that Disney has in their water.

Seeing the frogs that were there was something else for my daughter.  She saw a frog that was still in the transformation stage, as you can see in the 2nd picture.

Whatever Disney is doing, they are doing it right.  The tadpoles are the size of small fish, and the “Mouse” is bigger that some grown adults… ROFLMAO!

Velcro, Me, and My Wife…

While we were in Epcot we stopped at Innoventions.  They had a new show about velcro.  The lines were not long.

We went in, and it is a family game show.

The wife, and I got picked to participate.  She had to see how many pieces of luggage she could afix to me with velcro.  Well, we tied with the other couple.  She moved so fast I thought she found a special sale at WalMart.

At the end of the show you empty out into a area where you can make a velcro frog with all sorts of pieces that they have precut.

Questionable Things…

There is an island on Bay Lake other than Discovery Island. What is its name?
We had a boat captain tell us it was Shipwreck Island…
This was because Walt had crashed there…

Seven Seas lagoon being man made we all know, but it is called this because it is water from the seven seas… So says a boat captain.

Factual Things…

The new buses at Ft. Wilderness have a small display in the public view, and has a automated voice that calls out the next stop, etc.

All animals from Discovery Island went to Animal Kingdom.  They were transported by a boat named Disney Ark 1.

The Meadows pool area at Ft. Wilderness is in final stages of completion.  The slide, jacuzzi, and kiddie pool are finished.  There is other misc construction still going on.

Trails End buffet… There was prime rib, pizza, chilli, salad, shrimp, chicken, soup, desserts, and more.

For the vacationer with a car…  Sizzler @1 mile North of Downtown Disney on Apopka Vineland Rd. South has excellent food, and very cheap.  Another popular place is Ponderosa.

You can view a 3d model of the treehouses at Sarota Springs in the theatre.

You can walkthrough a actual model of the Animal Kingdom villas in the Saratoga Springs theatre.

New Part of Innoventions by IBM

We went to the Think Place in Innoventions which is brought to us by IBM.

When you go in you are directed to a station that records certain actions done by you.  Then after it is completed you are sent to a “Game Station” that takes what you did, and puts it into a game.

I think it is a pretty cool section in the Innoventions building.

Click the link HERE to see what we looked like in the game.
