An Insider's look at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

2005-12-28

By Robert Niles: Russell Meyer's back from Orlando, and continues his reporting with a delightful write-up of Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Back here on the west coast, Monsters, Inc: Mike and Sully to the Rescue is now open at Disney's California Adventure. If you've managed to get on this new dark ride during its public previews, please feel free to add your comments and description. This ride replaces "Superstar Limo," a much-maligned dark ride that might have been the most hated ride in Disney history. (Though Epcot's Journey Into Your Imagination -- sans Figment, came close.) Here's hoping Monsters, Inc. is much, much better.

Update: Russell's video of the Animal Kingdom Lodge is now up!
