Travis and I were in Waco,Texas the past two days for a tennis tournament. He lost in the first round so we were pretty much through for the weekend, so he suggests going to the zoo. I didn't know Waco had a zoo and he said they did and he knew where it was. Well, I was expecting a small zoo, but to my surprise it was great!!! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif[/img]
Anyway - while when you first enter the zoo, you have to follow a path going from animal to animal. Well, at the first bridge, Travis and I both looked at each other and said, "Doesn't this remind you of Animal Kingdom"? Yep - sure does!! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/082502yes_prv.gif[/img] Then we walked some more and entered a dark cavern that had music piped into it and Travis and I looked at each other and said, "Epcot!" As we entered the fish area, (this was a new addition and the floor is soft and "bouncy" giving the feeling you are walking on the ocean floor), we heard sounds like you were underwater and he looked at me and said, "Living Seas"!! This went on the whole day. We kept comparing sounds and smells to Disney Parks. Finally Travis said, "Mom, we really need to go back!" You said it!!

So here's my question - (I know - I ramble alot) -
Have you ever been somewhere and it reminded you so much of Disney you started looking for comparisons??

All the time. It usually doesn't measure up, though. Some themey restaurants approach Disney-esque, but fall just short. I'm glad you had fun at the Waco zoo!

Oh yes, all the time. There is this Mexican rest. we go to sometimes and it reminds me of EPCOT. If we happen to stop at a rest area, or if we go to one of those big truck stop store things, we feel like we are on vacation because that is usually the only time we go. Any time we go to some "themey" place we do compare it to WDW. I can't remember where it was I was recently, and I said, "This feels like POTC!"

Oh yeah all the time [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/082502yes_prv.gif[/img] Whenever we go by a Rainforest Cafe it has that smell of a Disney park...must be all that chlorinated water effects they have at both places. And did you ever notice that The Disney Store smells like the parks as well? My DH says that everytime we go in [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
