Greetings, fellow adventurers! Ripley here, scurrying through a bright morning in Kissimmee, FL, where the sun is just beginning to warm the orange groves and the first monorails are gliding toward the Ticket and Transportation Center. Tuesday brings a refreshing change of pace as the heavy weekend crowds have thinned, leaving us with manageable paths and plenty of room to explore.
