Nov. 4th, 2022 02:55 pmSome Disney Photos For You
We're hanging out at Fort Wilderness campground again, and I'm finding I like it out here a lot more than staying at a hotel. We're even in the same campground loop we stayed in last time, so we know where everything is. Some of the photos there are from our first night, we were at Animal Kingdom at closing time and got a few nice evening shots of the Tree of Life. Earlier we came back to the camper and found some wild Turkeys walking around. They're really used to humans, unlike the Turkeys at home that don't like to get too close.
We've done all the normal RunDisney stuff so far - packet pickup, buying merch, all that. Fox and I did a four-mile shakeout run this morning and we both feel pretty good after taking a couple of days off running, so I think we're ready to do our best tomorrow. The 5k was this morning, but we didn't run it. Tomorrow we have a 10k, then a half marathon on Sunday. Monday we head home and rescue the cats. Crowley's by himself, being cared for by my neighbor, but I know he's hiding from her. And Feisal is being boarded at the vet clinic so he can get his meds on schedule. If he were more social, I'm sure my neighbor could give him his insulin, but he's also shy around strangers. I kind of miss having fluffballs to cuddle, LOL.
So, here's some Disney Lore for ya. Yesterday, Fox and I ate at the Skippers' Canteen, which is almost as corny as the Jungle Cruise itself, but the food is great. I ordered Skipper Dan's Dan Dan Noodles, because I'm a sucker for Asian noodle dishes, and this was good. It was pretty spicy for theme park food - we're always joking about whether food is genuinely spicy or "Disney spicy." When we got back to the camper, I was looking up a recipe because I'd like to make that at home. And that's how I found out who Skipper Dan was. Our server/skipper/survival guide said, "Skipper Dan showed us how to make his noodles, but then he disappeared," and I was curious about the comment but didn't think much further about it.
They actually went and put him on the menu. I love it.
That's also been an earworm all day so I thought I'd spread the love.
