Lake Ivanhoe
Ease and convenience are nothing to sniff at for even the most rugged outdoorspeople, and for kayakers and paddleboarders looking to spend a quick couple of hours basking in Florida's blasting sun, Lake Ivanhoe delivers. There's even a dock for kayaks, paddleboards and canoes that's separate from the boat ramp. With pristine, silky-smooth waters and nearby bars and restaurants to round out the afternoon, it's the right fit for anyone looking to make a ripple without making a whole big thing out of it.
Disney's giant Woody
Back in April, Disney was very excited to open Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios, and in doing so, they announced to everyone that they had erected a giant 20-foot Woody at the entrance of the new land. Though there was no mention of girth, Disney did also tell us the statue had a 7-foot-wide hat and a 4-foot-tall yo-yo. Naturally, the announcement made all stand at attention.
