Great ape, originally uploaded by matthewcgallagher.

Disney spent a lot of time with respected naturalists to create a place where humans can com face-to-face with animals. The Pangani Forest Exploration Trail at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a great place to see some wonderful animals, like this gorilla.

Rooftop Flower Garden, originally uploaded by matthewcgallagher.

I have always thought the Norway Pavilion was such a storybook manifestation. They even planted a garden on the rooftop. When you visit, see if you can spot the troll.

Canada, originally uploaded by matthewcgallagher.

Entering the World Showcase on a counter-clockwise route, from Future World, you will find Canada as the first pavilion and it is quite impressive. The gardens are always simply beautiful and the architecture gives a wonderful and welcoming impression from our neighbors to the North.

The Liberty Tree

Under the boughs of the original Liberty Tree in Boston in 1765, Patriots calling themselves “The Sons of Liberty” gathered to protest the imposition of the stamp act. In the years that followed, almost every American town had a Liberty Tree–A living symbol of the American freedom of speech and assembly. Our Liberty Tree is a Southern Live Oak, Quercus Virginiana, more than 100 years old.

Monorail over Future World, originally uploaded by matthewcgallagher.

The monorail enters Future World at Epcot and makes a circuit around the front of the park before stopping at the station. It is a great way to see familiar sites from a new perspective and gets the little ones excited about a day at Epcot.
