We have a saying here in Virginia: “If you don’t like the weather… just wait a couple minutes.” It might be just the tiniest bit of an exaggeration, but the truth is, the weather around here has a tendency to be a little bit moody.

Thursday Thoughts: Planning for Pandora – The World of Avatar
Last month, I shared a glimpse into Disney’s new “land” at Animal Kingdom: Pandora – The World of Avatar. This new area opened to the public this past weekend, with lines just to get into the area (not even for a ride) that stretched for hours. The lines for the new rides – Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey – each were well over 3 hours at times on Saturday. And while the “newness” of this area will wear off a bit in the coming weeks (combined with more typical park attendance, as opposed to a busy holiday weekend), suffice it to say that planning your time at Animal Kingdom is going to change dramatically with this new area to explore.
With this in mind, I thought I would share this week, a few quick thoughts about what I am recommending to those visiting Animal Kingdom in the coming months. Read more
