It seems like a very strange thing to just stunble upon. Also interesting to see that the former Bear Country area from the old mine train is now being referred to as Bear Creek. I'd always assumed they had a new name for it (since they built another Bear Country on the other side of the river), but this is the first I've heard of it.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I wish someone would explain why Disney has koi fish in its waterways. Does that seem odd to anyone else?> Ah, well, there's a wonderful 'backstory' to that. Back in 1954, Walt and Lillian took a quick trip to Japan. During one of her shopping sprees, Lillian bought a pair of koi fish for the small pond at the Disney home in Holmby Hills. Thinking they were instead for the moat in front of Sleeping Beauty castle, and the rest is history.

I guess I was thinking that the koi were deliberate since they suddenly just showed up in the Castle moat recently. Maybe those are from the RoA.

So many things go on around there during day and night that are done inconspicuously,that nothing surprizes me. If they find a computer it could halve easily slipped off a raft accidentaly while tranporting it to the island or vise versa, same with the toaster. That could have been meant for a break room on TSI. So, nope, nothing surprizes me about what they find.
