darthmaz314 Disney Snapshot of the Day - DiVine the Stiltwalking Embodiment of Mother Nature

Our Disney Snapshot of the Day today features one of the more unique and lesser-known characters of Walt Disney World...DiVine, the stiltwalking embodiment of Mother Nature herself. This character, covered from head to toe in foliage and flora can be seen camouflaged in areas of greenery around Animal Kingdom, silently waiting for a crowd to gather. Once a group of guests has collected around her, usually wondering if she is an animatronic or a lifeless statue, she will slowly come to life and emerge from the foliage to walk among the guests, towering above them on her wooded stilts. Be warned, though. DiVine is indeed a rare character at Animal Kingdom. I had been going to the park for over a decade before I had ever heard of or seen the mysterious DiVine.

darthmaz314 Disney Snapshot of the Day: Mickey & Minnie Topiary from the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

Our Disney Snapshot of the Day today features one of the many exquisite topiaries that are displayed during the annual Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, one of Disney World's popular special events. Each year from March through May, the park is sprinkled with amazing Disney characters, literally brought to life through the beauty of flora, painstakingly sculpted by Disney's master horticulturalists. The festival also features kiosks serving specialty food from across the globe, demonstrations hosted by HGTV personalities, and a concert series that showcases popular acts from the past.

darthmaz314 Disney Snapshot of the Day - Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe

Today's Disney Snapshot of the Day brings you a Magic Kingdom entertainment legend...Sonny Eclipse, artist in residence at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. Of all of the audio-animatronics in the Magic Kingdom, this space-aged alien reptile is perhaps one of the most well-rounded. He sings, plays his cosmic keyboard, tells jokes, and plays host to thousands of burger munching, ketchup slurping guests each day. You don't drift pass him for a few seconds as your ride vehicle turns a corner. He is not shrouded in darkness or back-lit with blue lights. He is well-lit, front and center on his stage at Cosmic Rays Starlight Cafe. He lays on the shtick pretty thickly, even by Disney standards, as he delivers a stream of bad puns and corny jokes in between his sci-fi themed songs. And if you take long enough to order your food and eat, you will be able to enjoy his act over and over, as his track loops every half-hour or so. So here's to Sonny Eclipse, at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. He may not be housed in a legendary attraction, but he is a classic nonetheless.
