The Happiest Place on Earth Part III: The First Zoomers

That is one big tree. It needs to be big so a really long line can wrap around its girth.


Last time we were in a village like this we were getting ready to either careen down the crocodile-infested white water of the Zambezi or clambering on a rusty prop plane to get dumped in the middle of the Okavango Delta.  This time? Well, let's just say the thirst for a Coke is the same...



A safari where you're guaranteed to see all the Big Five? Typical, everyone's a winner these days, no one has to work for anything, everything is handed to... hang on, did you say Lightning Lane? Yes please.



I mean it's not quite the dugout canoe in the Delta, but hey, it's pretty darn close.



Avatar. Zooming before that was a thing.




Remember, keep your camera off and no one will know you're WFD... Working From Disney.



Kids I know I told you that the real world is better than those dumb online worlds. But you see, this is a real-world model of a virtual world, so it's like, ok. Or something.



So Dad, when you Zoom do you also remote into a loin cloth? Hey son, at least that's better than that CNN dude.



Last time we were in a village like this we were acclimatizing to the altitude for the final push to Everest Base Camp.  This time? Well, let's just say the thirst for a Coke is the same...


Yak butter tea anyone?


#NotTheZambezi.



Apparently, you can see the future in that ball. Turns out Guardians of the Galaxy it isn't. I guess ol' Walt didn't forecast reverse magnetic launches.



Last time we were in a village like this we... Oh wait, we've never been to a souk because the monsters came along and here we are in Disney instead.


But hey, close enough.




Back to the Future. Oh wait, that was Warner Brothers wasn't it? Next year, Universal...
