I've never been to Busch Gardens would love to go one day.

Sounds like a good place for the Coaster Junkie.

Your photos are fab

I remember the story of Sprint, he's so cute, I'm glad he found his place with the Clydesdales!
What is that thing with the big teeth? It's kind of scary looking!

Whew! I have spent the last two days catching up, and how fun it was. I know this is going waaay back in your TR, but the Ft. Wilderness carriage ride sounds terrific! A must-try sometime. Artist Point also sounded divine. I lovelove your pictures of the manatees from Sea World - they are my favorite as well, and I seem to often miss them at The Seas in WDW. In fact, I haven't been to Sea World in years, but I might have to try it one of these days.

Chef Mickey's was the pefect first character meal for Mark's family. I love the picture of Barb when she is meeting Donald - talk about her face lighting up!

I came thisclose to taking the Fantasy Tour on our last trip -- thanks for the preview! I really think my mom missed her calling - she would be perfect for one of those 26 full-time employees. (she decorates trees for a living anyway). I also loved the bit of trivia about having more pointsettas this year due to guest demand. I love pointsettas, and am glad there were plenty --- but I wonder who is was that wrote the letter in to Disney? "Dear Disney: We visited in December of 2006, and there were not enough pointsettas to our liking. Please have more next year."

Your Osbourne Light picutres are AMAZING. They really bring that experience to life.

Looking forward to hearing more about Busch Gardens Tampa. I've only ever been to the one in Williamsburg, VA -- it's much different than the Tampa one! Love the zebra rolling around (he looks like he's ), and the alligator's mouth. I'm so glad to see that Donkey has a good life - he's a cutie!

We had the same thing happen to one of our wake-up-calls last year. I guess even in a magical place like Disney things do not always go as planned.
Great pictures of all the animals. We love Busch gardens (not as much as WDW but still love it as we are roller coaster junkies). Can't wait to hear more.

Glad you were able to get the water part on Rhino Rally. Love the rolling zebra photos! And Mark's silly photo cracked me up. The Clydesdales were one of my favorite things at Busch Gardens.

Busch Gardens has really changed since I was there last but Lori was 3 at the time and it's been over 20 yrs. The rhino ride looks interesting. Like you, I don't do thrill rides. The pictures of the animals are really good. I can't wait to read more.Liz

Weird about the wake up call

Great photos from Busch Gardens. Since we've never been it was neat to see what they have there.
