Disney's Wild Animal Kingdom

I know this is a little hard to see, but this is Angela with her "Bug Eyed 3-D Glasses." The reason she has them on is because we're about to go into "A Bug's Life 3-D Adventure." It's a really cool show that is totally interactive and loads of fun. Essentially, you sit there while certain bugs "show off" their stuff for you in the hopes that we humans will better understand them and then, not kill them. Of course, things go a little haywire and you get sprayed with "bug spray" and smells and nearly get stung by a swarm of bees. But that's not the worst of it. At the end, they ask that you remain seated so all the "grubs and other young bugs can exit the theater first." They then do something in your seat so it feels like several little bugs are crawling all over you. It's most disconcerting.

Following a ride on the wild roller coaster at Mount Everest (the most freak roller coaster I've ever been on--it goes backwards to avoid the abominable snow man at one point) we went to see Finding Nemo: The Musical. Since I'm such a huge fan of the Nemo movie, I thought the musical might be a bit of a cheap thrill and possibly some corny fun. Nope.

It. Was. AWFUL. So bad, in fact, that I actually fell asleep at one point. The only good thing (besides when it ended) was listening to the audience react to the enormous set pieces that were trotted out during the show. They would "ooo" and "ahh" as if they'd just seen something amazing. Maybe it's just me, but I've seen amazing stuff on stage, and this musical was not it.

As you can see, Angela felt the same way. She at least stayed awake.
