On one of my many trips to Disney World, where my sister works, I came across this sign in the Animal Kingdom. I have an older picture of myself by it, I think I was about 15, and I thought it was the coolest thing, considering I was in the middle of Florida and found this sign warning visitors to watch out for the animal, or I thought - my hometown.

When I visited my sister earlier this year we went to the Animal Kingdom to play and explore. They had a Cast Adventure where you had to go all around the park and collect different stamps from the Cast members while visiting certain exhibits and rides and such (being a big kid is fun sometimes). So of course I wanted to find the Beware of Buffalo rock and it was no where in sight. I thought it was close to the entrance, some of the pathways looked familiar, but we couldn’t spot it anywhere. We searched all over. I even asked a Cast Member (an employee in Disney lingo) where it was and he told us they removed it. I was sad.

Well……my sister had some friends visiting a few months ago and they went to the Animal Kingdom for the day. I’m back in NY and check my voicemail in the middle of work to hear a message from my sister saying: “Guess what we found on the Safari trails?” Woo hoo - the Buffalo rock!

So here is the most recent picture, it’s a medium sized rock with the words painted on. I want one in my own garden, maybe I’ll make one in the spring. I think it’s pretty cool.
