Hamster Visited WDW And Had "Best Day Ever"
Oh my god! This is just so cute, I can't stand it!
A tiny hamster visited Walt Disney World and had the best day ever! Check out his tiny Mouse ears hat, and all the miniature attractions that he got to ride!

WDW Picture of the Day
A view of Downtown Disney, still under construction, at dawn, from Saratoga Springs Resort. Look at how still and mirror-like the water was.

WDW Picture of the Day
Rather self-explanatory where this was taken. However, this one was taken right at the entrance to Marketplace if you walk from Saratoga Springs resort.

A view of the Contemporary Resort and parts of the Magic Kingdom, from high up over Bay Lake Tower. I was doing some parasailing when I took this.

An Enviromentally-Friendly Theme for Epcot's "Food and Wine Festival"
So I've been to Epcot's Food and Wine Festival a few times. Had fun, but I think they often miss things. I'm sure they have to cater to the "average tourist" and consider the kind of food, offerings, and activities that will appeal to the largest audience.
Still, I think they are missing a tremendous opportunity to help address an important environmental issues here in the US, and possibly elsewhere. They should have a theme, or have an introduction to get people to eat invasive species and animals. Animals such as the Asian carp, snake head fish, nutria, etc. are destroying the ecosystem where they were introduced to and overpowering the native species. Yet, these animals are edible, provides a viable source of protein, and can be delicious! Andrew Zimmern on his TV show has shown these animals being cooked and eaten, and became surprisingly delectable.
People, especially in the US, often have an "Ewwwww" factor either due to its name (snake head) or due to how an animal looks like. They need to get over that. The Food and Wine Festival can help to overcome the stigma with these animals. Show them that these are really good food, and by eating them, people are also helping to get rid of them from where they shouldn't be. Invite someone like Andrew Zimmern, who should draw a large crowd, to get people to try and taste these things.
Human beings have been known to push a specie to the brink of extinction from over hunting. Why can't we do the same to an invasive specie? Come on, Disney! You can do something quite unique and help the environment at the same time. It's a win-win situation. Even I would consider coming be to F&W Festival if you do this one.

Sometime, all you want is just a nice, clear shot of the fireworks above Cinderella Castle. Here's one of my favorite shots that I managed to get.

Why Inside Out Is Slightly Different In Japan
Here's an article on the fact that Inside-Out is slightly different in Japan, and why.
I didn't know that green bell pepper grosses out the average Japanese!

In the original version, the 11-year-old protagonist hates broccoli, which has the nerve to show up on a slice of pizza in her new hometown of San Francisco. (That sight gag is in the trailer, below.) But in the Japanese version of Inside Out, the detested vegetable is green pepper slices — a much more conventional pizza topping in the U.S.
