"Almost" Wordless Wednesday: ¡May Rewind!

We've been kicking this idea around for a while and figured today would be the perfect time to implement!  We were gone (Vegas, baby!) last week and had our Star Tours articles we were right in the middle of doing, so we couldn't do it then, but we thought it might be good to use the first Wednesday of every month, since we're doing pictures anyways, for a picture "rewind" of sorts.  We take a lot of pictures during the month, and we tend to go week by week with what we post, so many of them never see the light of day and feel quite left out.  This is their chance to shine!  Hope you enjoy them!

The King and his deliciousness are back!

The audio-animatronic wildlife at The Park is astounding. It's so life-like!

He's late because his clock never moves. We've noticed it's always at 12:15!

We love our pyro!

Trippin' With Days In The Park: Dining

We're trippin' again!

Anyone who has followed us for any length of time by this point knows what huge fans of Gowalla we are.  One of our favorite functions that we only recently discovered is the ability to create our own trips on their website so people can complete trips that we ourselves make, highlighting some of our favorite things to do in The Parks.

Trips on Gowalla are a lot of fun to do and are easy.  By checking in at predetermined locations (or spots) within the trip, and eventually checking in at all of them, you are awarded a nice shiny virtual pin for your efforts.

About a month ago we did one highlighting our favorite attractions in the two Parks, and this month we're doing another trip for you guys, this one highlighting some of the things we enjoy almost as much (if not more so) than the attractions: Dining locations!

We each (Mark, Amy and Chad) selected three spots we like to call our "favorites" in The Parks (and one honorable mention) and created a trip from them.  We thought we'd share it with you guys today.  Just a few of our favorites included:

• Big Thunder Ranch BBQ
• Steakhouse 55
• Whitewater Snacks
• Rancho del Zocalo 
• and more!

If you want to check out all of the spots for yourself (and why we chose them), you can check out the "Dining With Days In The Park" trip on Gowalla, and we'll be adding it to the top of our website here as well.

If you're interested in doing our trip, it's easy!  If you're friends with us on Gowalla, the trip should already be showing up in your own Gowalla app since we are friends.  It's done automatically so friends can do each other's trips easier.  If we're not friends (why aren't we?!), then you can visit our trip on the Gowalla website, bookmark it, and it will then show up in your app for you to do.

Hope you guys enjoy; next time you're out at The Park, give our little trip and look-see and if there's someplace you've never eaten before, give it a try.  It is, after all, Days In The Park recommended!
