    Another mysterious object for you all. But there may be some hints around the fringes, if you can figure out what they are. See if you can guess the location of this:

    Re: Where can you find this pear-shaped black thing?

    Ah yes...I was out on break on this one...forgot to come back to it.

    Let's see...I can say it's on the floor, and has something sticking out of it, for getting through March to May.

    okay, so the clue leads me to think that April Showers will bring Umbrellas... but where?

    red floor with yellow walls makes me think of the Brown Derby?

    March - May would lead me to believe that it is a flower pot or something to do with a topiary over at Epcot for the flower festival.

    Sorry...told you I'd be back soon. All good guesses. And all completely cold (but not dark). Mother would not be proud! You guys picked up the umbrella clue well - the March to May is quite a particular rainy season for the location. Keep hunting!

    Nope...not quite. I'm dropping a ton of hints, but they're all subtle:

    Out on break, back soon, dark, Mother, rainy season, Keep hunting.

    OK...there's all the clues...Who's got game?

    Pear-shaped black thing - SOLVED

    Ring-a-ding ding! There ya go!

    I don't have access to the original pic until tonight...but this is a black vase or container of some form with an umbrella sticking out of it, on the floor behind the chair and next to the rack of travel brochures at that office desk you pass through in the Kilimanjaro queue (sign on the counter says 'back soon' - also along with the 'I was on break' reference). Who's got 'game' since it's a game reserve. 'Dark' as in 'The Dark Continent', a reference to Africa. 'Mother' as in 'Mother Africa' or the 'Motherland', rainy season of March to May is specific to East Africa in the Savannah region of Kenya and Tanzania, and 'keep hunting' as another game reference.

    I'll post the original wider shot when I get home!

    Wow, the things you miss when you use fastpass and go on tours. I don't think I have ever been through the regular queues on both Kilamanjaro and Everest. I will have to make point of waiting in line in the future.
