Disney Travel Writer?

I am sitting here waiting for a Disney Travel Writer to show up. I am not sure what to expect. There have been jokes all day about mouse ears, but I am assuming she won't be wearing them. It is amazing how much stress a travel writer coming to your business can cause. You want to make the place look as good as possible; no dead animal smells upon entering. You want to be friendly but not annoying, you want to tell them all about the place but not make them want to get the heck out because you are talking too much....eek!

I was worried last week when the Travel Expo people were coming. They turned out to be one of the nicest groups of people we have had up here. They were so much fun! All retired people, very interesting, asked a lot of relevant questions and loved our animals. They made the hour and a half that they were here fly by, so I am trying to be positive.

I am not complaining though, Tanglewood is finally getting "in the loop" as far promoting ourselves as not only an educational facility, but also a tourist stop. And why shouldn't we be a tourist stop? We have over 300 acres of land with 9+ miles of hiking trails, a beautiful 12,000 square foot building with a museum and 43 species of live animals. Who else in this area has that? And admission is free! But we can't stay open if people don't visit and donate and support what we do. I hope the Disney lady shows up....
