A Decade of Wild Places

As Animal Kingdom's tenth anniversary draws to a close, here are a few shots of the small area tucked around the corner of Mombasa Marketplace.





Happy Anniversary Animal Kingdom, and here's to many more years filled with adventure!

A Day at the Beach

While Disney's Vero Beach Resort might lie a couple hours away from Walt Disney World, it's nice to see it has those familiar Disney touches, even down to those wonderful trash cans.

Willkommen

This framed photo found in the Germany pavilion shows Franz Goebel and Walt Disney posing with a Goofy figurine back in 1955, less than three decades prior to the opening of Epcot's own Germany pavilion.

Desperation

Along the Walt Disney World Railroad tracks heading into Frontierland, you'll find this Outpost 792 - Desperation.

Wired

These gorgeous baskets are found near the restrooms and telephones outside Jiko and Boma at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Handcrafted from old telephone wire, these creations are a beautiful tradition in South Africa, linking the past with a more modern weaving material. With their bold colors and intricate designs, the baskets move away from functional items and become artwork for the walls. The Lodge is full of museum-quality pieces direct from Africa, and these baskets are no exception.

Hop To It

This pattern in the concrete near the entrance plaza to Muppet*Vision 3D takes on the appearance of a famous frill from that green frog we all know and love.

Lightning Strikes

Zeus and Hephaestus look down upon the guests as they enter the Fantasia Gardens miniature golf courses - perhaps serving as a warning to not have too much fun.
