Updates from WDW – Sanaa, Kidani, Characters in Flight and More

As always when I’m down here in Orlando, it’s been pretty hectic and time is not something I have nearly enough of. I’m also having some issues with uploading the photos which happens here sometimes, so please bear with me.

Just as soon as I can (as early as this evening, as late as tomorrow), I’ll have a full review and photo tour of Sanaa (I have almost 50 photos to share in all), a photo tour of Kidani Village, some exciting photos of Characters in Flight (yes, I went there) and much more.

As a reminder, I am able to occasionally post live reports and photos to the Stitch Kingdom twitter page, so make sure you follow us there as well. Yesterday’s live reports/photos included the 20th anniversary of DHS, Club Penguin’s Captain Rockhopper, Characters in Flight and more.

To the cast member who gave me her email address outside Sanaa in regards to the menus, I must apologize but somehow I managed to lose it. In case you see this, you can get the menus here.
