Disney World, Second Home

It was around this date last year that I was starting to say goodbye to fantasy (or reality?) And I yearn it back.
Here's the Magic Kingdom in all glory, behind a heap of people, against a whoosh of white cluods under bright blue skies.
I have a thing for signs, and so this one is of the (read the sign) which is the garden under the hugeamongous shade of the tree in Animal Kingdom, of course. It's easy to get lost in this garden. So grab children by the hand, and keep your arms and legs inside (your pockets?) at all times...
The Tangerine Café at Epcot, interesting Morrocan "fast" food, it was oddly good, contrary to what many may say. I ate there on the first month I was in Orlando, it was february and it was cold and rainy. The Tangerine Café was the first place to shelter from freezing water pouring from the sky, and so we were in Epcot to eat something exotic (probably japanese), but we only got to Morroco, and we had humus, lamb topped with a sweet and sour white sauce, sweet rice (it had raisins) and a very spicy hot picadillo, like mexican chunky salsa, but it was green, and sesame bread, all for the VERY modest (note the sarcasm) price of 10 dollars+tax+drink (no employee discount on fast food, dang it!).
And Epcot. Home. Epcot became home very early when I arrived. I worked there, so that was most of the "why". But it also has the best food, and the best places to take pictures. It is not as exciting as Animal Kingdom (or any of the other parks) but it has the best fireworks and the best location. Anyway, I liked it.
