© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com This is a classic story about what happens while you are “respecting your space”. A few weeks ago, I decided it was high time I cleaned my desk. I mean, cleaned it to the point where I could actually SEE desk! So I sorted and straightened and filed and shreded – and my reward was finding all these Mickey Mouse stickers! Cast Members in the resort hotels and...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com As previously mentioned on this blog, there is a good deal of carved statuary scattered about Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Some is carved from stone, while other pieces more resemble wood – some of it painted, some of it presented in a more natural state. Here’s a wonderful example – the figure of a sea horse, which I belive was found outside the gates of Asia, just across from...

Upon arrival at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park in Orlando, Florida, Guests are presented with their first exposure to these ancient critters. My friend Robin taught me the value of taking a photo of the navigational signs in the parking lot. If you cannot remember where you parked at the end of a...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Lamp post in Japan is secretly a speaker; tuneful ambiance I love the color palette, shapes and textures of the Japan pavilion in Walt Disney World’s EPCOT theme park. There are the slopes and angles of the blue pagoda-shaped roofs, the prickly puffs of needles on the pines (some of them are bonsai), and earthy brown tones sprinkled throughout. There are usually a few spots around the koi...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Signs on the tables at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida help to telegraph your needs to the wait staff. If you don’t need anything just now, simply display the “Run Forrest, Run!” sign. On the other hand… … if you want your water glass refilled or if you are out of ketchup, just display the “Stop Forrest, stop!” sign and your wait person...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Strolling around the World Showcase late one afternoon last fall, I spied these two lanterns by the lagoon, with the blue puffy-clouded sky and Spaceship Earth as a backdrop. On the lower right of the photo, you can see one of the Friendship boats I wrote about yesterday. It’s fun to note how accents like these lanterns can change in style as you make your way from one...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Click the photos to see if a larger version is available in Flickr One of the best reasons to stay at an EPCOT resort hotel at Walt Disney World is the easy journey between your hotel and the park. The resorts, which include the Boardwalk, The Yacht Club, the Beach Club, The Swan and The Dolphin, are arranged around Crescent Lake. There are walking paths all around the...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Every time I visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom, my appreciation for the theme park Imagineers’ incredible attention to detail only deepens. The park is impeccably themed, and I especially enjoy the animal statues sprinkled here and there. Some are carved of stone like idols, while others are made to look like wood carvings but are more likely made of resin – this is Florida, after all, a land where...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com I believe the reason for the video camera is that someone was murdered on this beach several years ago. The victim’s body was hidden underneath the boardwalk, and was not discovered until it became obvious that something was decomposing under there. So, how’d you like to have THIS job? It’s a beach – a person assigned to monitor this camera stands an excellent chance of watching attractive people...
