The first episode of "Stuck in Traffic" and needless to say the audio quality needs some work but it was a great day at Animal Kingdom. 

If you live in central Florida then you know the hellscape that is Interstate 4. Named deadliest road in the country, this stretch of highway is essentially the only way to get to Disney World. So needless to say, I spend a lot of time stuck in traffic. Might as well put that time to good use.
