:) A new attraction
floats above an old nightclub -
Characters In Flight

It’s a bittersweet scene. One of Downtown Disney’s newest attractions hovers over Pleasure Island’s oldest attraction. The Adventurer’s Club is closed, along with all of Pleasure Island’s other night clubs. Back in April, I bid a belated farewell to Pleasure Island, explaining that Disney had chosen to close the clubs in favor of more “family friendly” entertainment. The new Characters In Flight attraction could qualify as “family friendly”. It looks like a lot of fun. When I was there a few weeks ago, I decided not to go by myself; there was no fear factor involved, I just thought I’d have a better time with friends and/or family. So, if I attend the Moose Meet in October, I think I’m going to want to drag some of my fellow Mooses along – who’s game? Who wants to come fly with me? C’mon, you KNOW you want to! ;)

Disney helps teach financial literacy

I was passing through the French pavilion at EPCOT a few weeks ago and saw this sticker clinging to a wrought iron fence like a mini-sign advertising… um, pork? bacon? Nope, it’s a game!

With the help of Google, I’ve discovered that The Great Piggy Bank Adventure is a financial literacy program presented by Disney in partnership with T. Rowe Price. There’s an attraction at the Innoventions section of EPCOT, and there’s also an online game that kids can play. Check it out when you’ve got a few minutes, it’s fun!

Africa 2025 at EPCOT

© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~*
http://MyMobileAdventures.com

06132009724-WDW-EPCOT-Africa-2025-shirtI saw this shirt while browsing the Outpost in the World Showcase at EPCOT a couple of weeks ago. I almost bought it, but then decided that I have enough Disney t-shirts hanging in my closet just now and perhaps I should practice a little consumer restraint ;) Quit feeling my forehead, I’m fine! LOL!

Anyhow, I snapped a pic to remind myself to google and see if I could figure out what’s up with peace, Africa, and 2025. Turns out it refers to a study that’s recently been published, which sets forth three possible scenarios for where Africa will be by 2025, pending decisions made and actions taken TODAY. I found the report fascinating. If you want to download and read it yourself, or just become familiar with the project, click this link – UNAIDS – Africa 2025

Rockin’ at EPCOT’s Outpost

© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~*
http://MyMobileAdventures.com

:) I took some photos at EPCOT recently that I thought would be great for Blue Monday and Mellow Yellow Monday. I thought I’d just tuck them away in the vault somewhere, hoping that an appropriate prompt for Manic Monday would someday be declared, and then I could use them for my Monday Meme Trifecta.

Well, I must have ESPN ;) or clairvoyance or something. Either that, or I’m very, very lucky, for Mo declared that today’s prompt is “ROCK” – w00t!

About two weeks ago, I stood in the Outpost, a little African section of the World Showcase at EPCOT, browsing the hats and jewelry and carved objects, when my eyes fell on this bin of rocks and semi-precious stones.

So what, you say? Well, check out what was in upper-middle bin!

Lotus in the pond at EPCOT

© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~*
http://MyMobileAdventures.com

:) Same pond at the China pavilion that was featured in yesterday’s post about the dragonfly gymnast :) I had to scour Google Images to figure out that this was a lotus bud, and not just a run of the mill “water lily”. Oddly, the way I finally identified it was not via the bud, but via the seed pod!

I don’t usually go in for pink much because it is not on my color chart – I’m an “autumn” – but I just love this shade. I bet it looked really pretty when it finally did bloom.

Dragonfly gymnastics at EPCOT

© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~*
http://MyMobileAdventures.com

:) I found this little guy hanging out in the lily pond outside the China pavilion in Walt Disney World’s EPCOT theme park. I don’t know what he’s doing, but it looks like gymnastics to me! Click the photos – you’ll be taken to Flickr, and you can choose a different size to examine. You’ll see that the poor little fella’s wings are a little tattered and torn – I wonder how that happens, and how it affects his ability to fly?
