Great report - very detailed. Your excitement and descriptions make me want to visit IoA, but I am afraid I'd be even more critical about it "not being Disney". -- - RODNEY Next WDW Vacation?

That is the one homophone pair I never manage to get correct. Yeah, me, too! I just remember that "bare" always means naked/minimal and "bear" is everything else. I once met a bear who could barely speak English, who told me that when looking for the bare necessities, one should always remember to bear left, and watch out for the climb, it can be a real bear! -- - RODNEY Next WDW Vacation?

JPRA is supposed to be the jeep > ride (though I think they became Toyotas in the movie) Actually, in the first movie, they used Ford Explorers as the "ride" vehicles in the park. In the second movie, they used Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV's. -- - RODNEY Next WDW Vacation? Who knows!
