The Ducky Gang had a spec-quack-ular experience in one of their favorite cities, Paris! They kept very busy on their egg-spedition, with so much to see and do in the City of Light, they hardly had time for it all!

Their first stop was the Louvre. This was Blue Ducky’s choice- he appreciates every kind of art, and he’s been reading up on the magnificent museum. Did you know that the Louvre showcases about 35,000 pieces of art at one time? It’s the second largest museum in the world! Blue Ducky learned on the trip that the museum used to be a fortress to the Kings of France in the 12th century, which egg-splains its size!

Next, the Duckies explored the Jardin des Tuileries. Green Ducky chose this stop, because he wanted a place to splash around and relax. The Duckies loved all the open space and the tremendous fountains in the park. They played with the horses in the park, and enjoyed the antique sculptures that date as far back as the 18th century!

Pink Ducky made sure to take the group shopping on the Champs-Élysées- it’s always been a dream of hers! This famous Parisian road hosts over 100 shops and restaurants that lead up to the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the road. The wide sidewalks made it easy for the Duckies to waddle their way down the mile-long avenue!

The Duckies’ last stop was Yellow Ducky’s choice- the Eiffel Tour. Yellow Ducky has always wanted to climb all the way to the highest point, so they patiently waited their turn for the worthwhile views at the very top. Once they got 1,000 feet up to the highest deck, they could practically see all of France!

This weekend, the Waddles Duckies ventured down to Orlando to see some of their favorite friends! They waddled their way from park to park, visiting Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld. Each Ducky found something they particularly treasured doing while on their Orlando adventure!

Their first stop was at Disney World, where Yellow Ducky got to see his favorite mouse, Mickey! He was especially fascinated by the Epcot Park, where he got to experience other countries’ cultures and taste all kinds of delicious foods from around the world. Spaceship Earth, the 180 foot tall centerpiece ride of Epcot, was Yellow Ducky’s favorite ride of the whole trip- he was enchanted by all the constellations he saw! He even spotted the secret Mickey Mouse constellation! Have you seen it?

Pink Ducky thoroughly enjoyed Disney World as well, as she absolutely adores the Disney Princesses she saw at the Magic Kingdom! She was thrilled when Cinderella offered her a tour of her enormous castle. It is the tallest structure in the Magic Kingdom, standing at 189 feet tall! At the end of the day, the Duckies were delighted to see the incredible fireworks spectacle over the castle!

The Ducky Crew next visited Universal Studios, where Blue Ducky was captivated by the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Blue Ducky has read all the Harry Potter books, and he couldn’t wait to go on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, the ride where he actually got to fly on broomsticks to a quacking match of Quidditch! All the Duckies enjoyed the Twister ride, even though the tornado felt so real!

Green Ducky’s favorite stop of the whole trip was SeaWorld. Green Ducky’s favorite animals are water animals, like Shamu the Killer Whale! Did you know that Killer Whales aren’t whales at all? They’re actually in the dolphin family! When in the wild, Killer Whales tend to stick with their families. The Duckies loved splashing around with their animal friends at SeaWorld, they can see why over 50 million people visit the park every year!
