A few years back we went and saw the "March of the Ducks" at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN. There is now a Peabody in Orlando and they continue the daily tradition of ducks marching into their fountain at 11:00 a.m. and marching out at 5:00 p.m.
When we arrived just before 11:00a.m we joined the people lined up along the carpet. As the ducks approached we were shocked that people suddenly crowded close to the carpet (many with their luggage)and blocked any angle I had for a picture. Luckily, we could see the ducks and the kids were right up front.
Since I couldn't get my own picture this is a picture off of the internet of the ducks walking down their red carpet. Ironically when we were in Memphis it was during the Liberty Bowl and the place was packed with an entire college football team and their families. Apparantly I can see the ducks, but I am destined to never get a photo of the ducks marching.
The ducks come down from their luxury penthouse on a private elevator. Unlike Memphis, it is around the corner down a long corridor. If I had realized this I would have stood down here away from the crowd.
The best part was hanging out and watching the ducks eat and play in the water.
