Animals at Disney World
Jessica and I visited Disney World - Magic Kingdom after participating in the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (17-20 October 2007, Orlando, Florida). My brother lives in Pasadena so we are much more likely to visit Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. However, as long as we were there, we went to visit the mouse in Florida.
We got to the park early and in the pouring rain. So, we rode Pirates and Spash Mountain and the Haunted House twice each before the crowds arrived. There were differences between Disney World and Disneyland (like Toontown being a dead end in Disneyland but a pass through in Disney World) which were a little disorienting. The biggest surprise was how many wild animals live in Disney World. I was expecting the character animals (Micky, Minnie, Daffy, Donald, etc.) and the animals used as props (in the Jungle Ride for example) but there were also many wild birds and lizards and even a bunny eating grass as we walked by the Castle. I was not quick enough to photograph a lizard but I caught quite a few others...
