The WDW Featured Pool For Today!

The Keister Coaster pool at Luna Park at Disney's Boardwalk Inn is our featured pool today!

This is what It's All About the Mouse Travel tells us about this pool:

The Keister Coaster pool at Luna Park features a large pool with a 200 foot water slide! The pool area has the theming of a turn of the century carnival and the water slide looks like a wooden roller coaster. There are playful elephants to shower you before entering the pool. Enjoy a beverage or snack at the pool bar, Leaping Horse Libations, conveniently located next to Luna Park. This relaxing bar area is shaped like a giant carousel.

There are two quiet pools for you to enjoy as well - one is located within the Inn's Rose Garden Courtyard, the other next to Community Hall in the Villa area.

Pool month continues on the It's All About the Mouse Facebook page.  Today, the pool is:

The Fuentes del Morro pool at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort !

Make a splash at this zero-entry pirate’s paradise, themed like a colonial Spanish fortress. Swashbuckling adventurers can zip by on one of 2 waterslides—including one measuring 102 feet long—and feel the spray of man-of-war-cannons. Little ones can cavort at the shipwreck play area, complete with mini slides, a crow’s nest and a barrel of laughs that dispenses a drenching downpour. Two 12-person spa pools provide relaxation after a long day on the high seas, as do tropical drinks from the nearby Banana Cabana pool bar.

And if you'd prefer a bit more solitude at the pool, there are six leisure pools, one in each village, offer escape for the less boisterous buccaneers of your crew. Take the plunge and cool down or simply lounge the day away on deck while catching some golden rays.

Today's featured pool is the Nanea Volcano pool at Disney's Polynesian Resort! 

 

Fresh from the It's All About the Mouse Travel Facebook page we learn this:

Make a splash at this pool which features a towering volcano, a waterfall and a thrilling 142 foot-long waterslide. A zero-depth entry point, similar to a beach, slopes gently into the pool making for easy entry and exit. Children are invited to cool off in the nearby water play area. Nearby, a lounge and bar offer refreshments and snacks.

DiVine is a Must-See

Disney's Animal Kingdom is one of those places where you really should not be in a rush.  It's the kind of place where you need to open your eyes, your mind and your heart and let the park fold it's every loving arms around you.  So many misguided travelers are given bad information, and are told that Animal Kingdom is a half-day park.  That is just not the case.  I arrived for rope drop, and was there until at least 5pm on my last visit.  I would have stayed until closing. 

Yes, I am as guilty as the next person who wants to make a mad dash to Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain®.  Yes, I made the dash there to get my FastPass, and was able to ride right away.  Nothing like a rush of adrenaline first thing in the morning.  After I took my first go-round with the Yeti, I had an hour to pass until my FastPass time came about.  I took a leisurely stroll around Asia.  After I got done the second time, I then took my time the rest of the day.  In doing so, I was able to observe many things that I have always been in too big of a hurry to notice.  One of them is the subject of this blog.

One of the goals on my last trip was to spot something at Disney's Animal Kingdom that many people totally  miss, due to rushing around and trying to get to that next attraction.  As we missed this sighting on our trip in October, we totally fall under the category of not being observant enough.   I was not going to let that happen yet again.
 
Normally found at on the pathway between Africa and Asia (she is occasionally in the Oasis near Rainforest Cafe), Divine is a definite must-see. If you don't find  her,  you can check with a cast member where she can be found, and what times she might be "hanging" around. 

As I was leaving Asia and heading over to Africa, I was taking pictures of the "back side" of the Tree of Life. 

There was a PhotoPass photographer there, so after I was done taking my own pictures, I asked him to take some pictures of me.







As I finished with him, I looked up, and low and behold, right across the past I saw movement in the leaves, and there she was.  DiVine!!  I was thrilled that I was able to spot her, and would not have if I would have been in too big of a hurry.

Take my advice.  When you visit Disney's Animal Kingdom............slow down!!!  You will not be sorry.  You might just miss something as special as DiVine!!
