Fake market


This is the real fake bird market inside the Animal Kingdom park at Walt Disney World. I love the way Disney makes the waiting areas entertaining. We were lucky not to wait too much though. This scene was part of the queue area of the Kali Rapid Adventures ride, but you almost feel like you're really in India! Photo taken in August 2010.

Nice ride


Couples who tie the knot at the Magic Kingdom can pay a little extra and make their getaway in this beautiful old Cadillac. I wouldn't have minded something like that at my wedding! Photo taken in August 2010.
