Inside John's Locker

The main pool at Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House is called Uzima.
It's an 11,000-square-foot, zero-depth entry pool and includes a 67-foot long slide.

It's surrounded by lush vegetation and theming like these banana plants and this stone African totem that seems to be keeping a watchful eye...

Old Key West is themed to look like the real Key West at the turn of the century and these items are a good example. Old fashioned oars and bicycle along with a street sign from the main drag at Key West, Duval Street that has seen better days.

The rusty sign in the shadow says "Hurricane Warning" and Resolute was the name of a naval supply vessel that travelled between Key West and Havana in the early 1900's.

"Please Touch Me"
That's a sign you don't see very often, but that's what the small plaque to the right says....and you can tell that a lot of people have done just that.

This is a door from Nigeria and it's mounted on the wall of Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House between the two doors where you exit the lobby in the front.

This wooden door was made by the Nupe tribe in Northern Nigeria, who believe that touching the door will send you safely into the future.
"Have a Good Journey" it also says...

This antique model ferris wheel looks like it would fit right in with the amusement park theme at Boardwalk, but you'll find this one at the Grand Floridian.

You can find it on the second floor near the entrance to Victoria and Albert's and Citricos. The brass plaque nearby describes it as a "Metal Ferris Wheel--American--circa 1890" which I guess explains why it's at the Grand Floridian...it fits right in with the Victorian theme...
