Any swanky tips/suggestions for Walt Disney World?

My contributions to AK signage are all over the park, but by far the lion's share of credit goes to former WDI show writer Kevin Brown. I was brought on board for that project in the last couple of months before opening day, and stuck around writing copy for about five years after that. But Kevin, along with Joe Rohde, was the guiding light for story content and sign copy.

I have to add that the signage at AK Lodge is a mixed batch. My stuff is all indoors. (The giant Igbo tribal head-dress story, the animal legend plaque on the floor by the fireplace, some signs identifying authentic tribal art around the building.)

Outside, there are lots of info plaques about the live animals, and these were done by the animal care staff. Among these signs, you will find a real howler on the antelope plaque. (Essentially, it says that when a predator attacks, "the herd of antelope literally explodes in all directions!" Wow! That sure makes it easy for the predator!)

The buffalo thing wasn't me.
