Well, at least Disney has good taste in vehicles:

Ya, the paint jobs were a little over the top on those in the parade, but they were in mint condition -- perfect. But it's too bad they painted over the galvanized trim.
I actually like the Jeep paint, not that I would choose it for something I would be caught dead in... That Jeep was the LWB version, and it had at least a 3" lift.
Other than that, in four days I saw one... one Rover the entire time I was in Florida -- what is up with you guys? You didn't represent! I got back home and before I even left the airport I had seen one D90, a mint RRC, a Freelander, two DII's, one DI, and a RRSport!

THAT is why I asked if you were on vacation.
I feel like I'm in exile when it comes to the rover community.
Had I known you and your family were here, we would have been thrilled to meet up with you!
Here is one of my son and myself about three years ago with one of the Landies in Animal Kingdom at Disney.
Busch Gardens Tampa also has a Safari ride that actually uses Land Rovers modified to hold about 12 people. I think the ride was originally sponsored by Land Rover. Unfortunately I don't have any pix on this PC.

I thought it was just me, lol. Last time I went to Busch Gardens, all I took photos of was their Rovers. They have over two dozen on the premises as props. And another half dozen running ones.
We did the Rhino Rally while at Busch Gardens in Tampa 2yrs ago. Very cool ride. We've got a bunch of photos around here somewhere.. I'll post a few once the wife wakes up.

I was totally psyched when I saw the Landies at Disney last year (and this year)! The family wasn't quite so excited about it. go figure.
I had a ford exploder as a rental while we were in FL. Maybe there's no rovers down there because no rental companies have them. I mean, no one actually LIVES in florida, right?

Damn you Ed I was going to post up the lion's RRC at the Wild Animal Park, but you beat me to it. Somewhere I do have pictures of the other Rovers in and around that place. Sadly they wouldn't let me drive my Disco through the trails in the Safari area.
LOL! THat's funny, everyone posing in front of the same landy!
Hey... someone should put a Dweb sticker on it... Now that would be funny!
