Where's the Mouse?

I had the pleasure of attending the New York Times Travel Show today and figured I'd share a few pics here:

Jacob Javitz Center - oooo, pretty. And enormous, like the price tag on the hot dog I had for lunch ($5.45 plus tax!)

Also happening that day was a spectacle of true awesomeness:

Woot! And this was hanging by the entrance:

3 more months, people.

Despite the NYT Travel Show being an enormous showcase of the best destinations, retreats, and fun times to be had around the world (my favorite tagline: fiji me.) Disney didn't have a presence there. Competitors Universal Studios and Busch Gardens/Sea World did. Universal Studios brought Bugs Bunny and Daffy along. Sea World upstaged the whole darn show with their special guests:

Penguins! Sadly, they were not included in the swag bag.

I was disappointed at the lack of Disney - some complimentary Dole Whips could have got that party started ... especially when combined with the rum punch being served over in the Caribbean section :) Lessons learned for next year!
