    Did anyone else see the "Ancient Cave Drawings" inside Taillight Caverns? They depict steam driven cars. Very cool!

    OH! My father-in-law would LOVE that! He's an expert on Stanley Steam Cars and restores them for a living (and does antique car upohlstry). I just keep thinking what a kick he will get out of Carsland!

    I believe I have officially become a Disney nerd.

    Did you get a listing of plants that included Indian Paintbrush or did you see it somewhere specific? Because while I saw many desert or high altitude-appropriate plants, I did not see that one. Either it wasn't in bloom (which would surprise me because it seemed that quite a bit of Disney magic had gone into forcing various plants into bloom) or I just missed it entirely looking at something else. I saw lots of red penstamons and California Fuschia but those don't look anything like Indian Paintbrush.

    The most expensive thing I ever had was a free kitten.

    It was pointed out during our tour - I think I have a photo. Let me dig through all 2045 photos and see if I did.

    Here's a shot of the "Ancient Cave Drawings" I got over my shoulder. Sorry for the poor quality.PICT0262.jpg

    Thanks for posting the photo! That is awesome! It is the little details like this that the imagineers put into Disney's attractions that make the difference between a 'ride' and a full blown sensory overload 'experience.' This is what makes Disney so much better than other 'theme' parks. I can't wait to go see it myself!

    Epcot's Test Track has a single rider queue also. I can't tell you how many times I've ridden with maybe just a 10 minute wait. Actually it probably takes me longer to walk the queue than to wait to board a vehicle! Sa-weet is right!
