As I was heading back this way, I looked down in the canal that runs through the Castle Hub area, and there were three Disney ducks sitting tucked away in the shade, almost out of sight, next to a security guard hat, Magic Kingdom security guard hat. And just all kinds of thoughts are now running through my head. What happened to the security guard? What are they going to do with the hat? You just never know with these guys.

Heard one of my fellow podcast hosts lightly disparage this fine institution, and I will not have it. We've been here, and I think it's delicious. Maybe that means I'm an uncultured swine. Or maybe it means it's delicious, I don't know. But I loved it's delicious. Maybe that means I'm an uncultured swine. Or maybe it means it's delicious, I don't know.
