Last
Chance to See Lucky the Dinosaur
 Walt Disney World
guests will have their last chance to meet Lucky the dinosaur as he bids
farewell to his home at Disney's Animal Kingdom, on July 28th, in search of
new adventures worldwide. Lucky came to Walt Disney World Resort in May for
a limited time to help launch the "Happiest Celebration on Earth," the
global salute to 50 years of Disney park magic. The nine-foot-tall,
450-pound dinosaur represents the latest innovation in Audio-Animatronics
design and is the first Disney character of its type to walk freely and
personally interact with guests.
