I noticed that there were standard picks in EPCOT that included Russia, India, Polynesia, "France employee mens bathroom", etc. What are some other weird check-in places that are listed on Foursquare around and about the theme parks? Anybody close by where they can pick up readings?

There are a lot of things like "so-and-so's bench" or "our spot", or other really generic sounding names for places that aren't too specific. The one that stands out in my memory is "Elizabeth the Drinking Tree" in the Pacific Wharf area, near the Karl Strauss beer truck. The description has a photo so you know which tree it is, and encourages you to buy a beer and stand next to the tree while you drink it. Which, I think, perfectly explains why I just don't understand the allure of these types of apps. : /

Over the weekend we were at Ft. Wilderness and I checked into the lawnmower tree. Just fun stuff to do and remember where you have been.
