Baby animal news from Disney's Animal Kingdom - a Yellow-backed duiker calf has been born for the first time in 20 years



The animal care team at Walt Disney World is celebrating the latest birth at Disney's Animal Kingdom. This yellow-backed duiker calf, named Penny, was born earlier this month to mom Pearl.

The birth of Penny is a very special occasion, considering the fact that Disney has not had a yellow-backed duiker calf born under their care for over 20 years.

New Disney SpellStruck Word Game Now On Apple Arcade

It's cute but the computer player cheats and it's annoying

It's cute but the computer player cheats and it's annoying

Skynet refuses to lose!!!

 

[Naomeri]

It's cute but the computer player cheats and it's annoying

It doesn’t cheat, per se, it just has knowledge of every allowable word, many of which are completely fake-looking. I sometimes take advantage of the game’s automatic word-checking to “make up” words when I have high-value tiles I want to place in a particular spot. The real problem with Spellstruck is that it’s too short!

The real problem with Spellstruck is that it’s too short!

No it blatantly cheats. When I place a word I have to make a word out of every letter touching my new word. The computer doesn't. It frequently lays down words that end up with multiple 2 letter "words" that are just consonants. I've checked them by trying to play them myself. I'm not allowed but the computer is. The reviews for the game mention the same thing.

Is it just me, or wouldn't it be better if she were a mermaid? I guess it's a way to differentiate, but I feel like kids would rather meet the mermaid, right?

New ‘The Little Mermaid’ Experiences at Disney Parks

And during her visit to Disneyland Paris, Ariel and her friends will invite guests to dance and play along with them in an unforgettable musical moment.

Guests aboard Disney Cruise Line can now see the film onboard during their sailings. We can’t think of a better place to see this film than out in the open sea!

Meet and Greet with Ariel from the Live Action The Little Mermaid now open at Walt Disney World

I think the parks should have her in a mermaid costume for the meet and greets. The problem is, if I saw her walking around the parks I would wonder who she was. I would know she was in a costume for something. Is she in a show? Is she a dancer? I wouldn’t automatically connect the dots to…oh yeah little mermaid. Put her in a mermaid costume (weLL not walking around the parks lol!) and then I know!

Yeah, like, she's just a lady in a dress. And, sure, technically all of the Princesses are just a lady in a dress, but their dresses are a bit more...MORE, you know?

I agree. I'm guessing Disney made this choice to try and avoid adult guests being inappropriate with her. It's sad that that's something they would have had to think about.

They already had an incident with a man being inappropriate.

Ariel is always portrayed with legs in the Princess marketing stuff, and in every other meet and greet except for the grotto. She has fins exactly one other place in WDW, FoF. This is something awfully weird to be hung up on.

And like…kids don’t care. The 90 minute wait time at HS today speaks for itself. I promise you for a lot of us, kids and adults alike, this particular Ariel is not just “a lady in a dress”.

I don't think anyone's "hung up" about it, I just think she's cooler as a mermaid. I mean, wouldn't everybody be? I get that it is more limiting as she can't move around, but still.

Also, Ariel appears as a mermaid in Fantasmic! I still miss the Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show - that was my favorite!
