Time to Talk Turkey at Walt Disney World Resorts -- the Holidays Have Begun!
All around America, Thanksgiving weekend is marked by football, kitchen cleanup, shopping, leftovers for lunch -- and millions of trips to the attic, as families get out their cherished decorations to prepare for the winter holidays.

ASK DAVE
YOUR QUESTION
I learned that the cast members named the yeti in the Matterhorn Harold. Are there other icons in the park, such as animals from the Jungle Cruise, that the cast members have named?
- Tyler, 14, Camarillo, CA
DAVE'S ANSWER
Cast members occasionally name some of their favorite characters, and those unofficial names get passed down from year to year. Besides Harold, some others at Disneyland include Bertha (showering elephant on Jungle Cruise) and Bucky (the dragon in Fantasmic).
