Animal Magic at Disney
Review of Disney's Animal Kingdom by
dkm1981
Advantages: Lots of animals, some great rides, fun themes, lots of variety
Disadvantages: Not a lot for thrill seekers

Heading to where the Mississippi begins
Review of Wisconsin Great River Road, Prescott by
catsholiday
Advantages: One of America's scenic highways with lots to see along the way
Disadvantages: The sights are pretty low key
