The Sloths Go to Disney World

by Prongs on December 4, 2009

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Sloths loved the rides that took minimal exertion. And for that reason, The Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups were a big hit:

“After this, I want to sink my claws into Mr. Toad and His Wild Ride!”

And while the mini-Sloths were riding away, the adults hit up EPCOT. First stop: Swiss Chard. Hydroponics.

Are you happy now, Stacy?

I LOVE sloths! I want to cuddle them and talk to them in baby talk. I saw one when I was in Costa Rica earlier this year, and people were staring at me as I stood underneath it and squeepled at it. I’m probably lucky it didn’t poop on my head!

Sloths USED to creep me out, but I’m slowly warming up to them. Which is the appropriate way to warm up to sloths, I guess.

12 slw 12.04.09 at 11:33 am

OMG, the second baby looks like he is smiling – they are soooo sweet!

13 Katiedid 12.04.09 at 11:48 am

*sigh* :-)

14 Katrina 12.04.09 at 11:49 am

sairentohiru, I’ll just join you in the squeepleing.

15 5^^now8ing 12.04.09 at 11:52 am

No, I DIDN’T know Alan Alda looked like you! I actually think you’re a lot cuter.

16 Katiedid 12.04.09 at 11:53 am

P.S. Whenever I see a slot picture I always think about this comic http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF135-Volcano_Snails.jpg

17 paranoiagirl 12.04.09 at 12:11 pm

Heavens to betsy! these sloths are frakking adorable.

18 AuntieMame 12.04.09 at 12:40 pm

Maybe that’s what I should do…go to the amusement park with sloths and take things slowly. Then maybe I wouldn’t wind up feeling so headachy and sick every time. Bleah!

(Actually it’s because I get too hot and don’t drink enough fluids. But hey. A baby sloth can’t be a bad thing, can it?)

19 Melvin at Mouchois 12.04.09 at 1:09 pm

FAVORITE. DAFT-LOOKING. ANIMAL. EVAAR!
I love sloths! They always look so “special” happy!

20 Monterri 12.04.09 at 1:14 pm

Are the little ones tall enough to go on the rides ? (Don’t worry, I won’t tell Disneyland!)

Is M*A*S*H still on ? What did I miss ? Pic#3 describes the episode wherein Hawkeye Pierce, tired of seeing so much meat, finally decides to go green.

(A M*A*S*H for a new generation! The generation of “perhaps it’s time we got the h*ll out of there”!)

21 Theresa 12.04.09 at 1:17 pm

BizzEEP!

22 Gigi 12.04.09 at 1:26 pm

I want to be reincanated as a sloth! They really know how to take it easy and enjoy life!

23 Sean 12.04.09 at 1:42 pm

mr toads wild ride isnt there anymore :(

24 Rachael 12.04.09 at 1:44 pm

I love their sweet little self-satisfied smiles and their moist nosicles! I hope that first little guy manages to get his tea afterwards.

25 sk 12.04.09 at 2:26 pm

You know, they sleep 18 hours/day but party 24.

26 pounce 12.04.09 at 2:51 pm

Baby SLOTHS!! Awww!!

There’s a grownup sloth living in the Vancouver Aquarium, in the Amazon Exhibit. He’s usually hanging up in a corner looking like a furry ball, and most tourists don’t even know he’s there. When he’s actually out and eating his fruit-on-sticks, it’s a big deal. :)

27 zeldapie 12.04.09 at 3:31 pm

They always look SO HAPPY!! WHEEE!

28 mary78 12.04.09 at 3:32 pm

They look like they are so happy! They have the cutest little chilled-out smile.

29 Monterri 12.04.09 at 3:50 pm

Sloth in Pic 1 (hovertext) asks: “Will we get tea afterwards ?”

Response: “Sure, but get out of the teacup first, or you will have your a$$ handed to you.”

Sloth in Pic 2 (hovertext) asks: “Am I sitting in a giant cherry Lifesaver{TM} ?”

Response: “Sure, but not if you want tea.”

Sloth in Pic 3 (hovertext) says: “For the millionth time… Please, like you don’t know Alan Alda looks like me.”

Response: “Alan Alda does not look like a boiled teabag”.

Moral of the story: If you want tea, don’t eat the leaves!
(The End)

I think sloths know how irresistible they are. They way they look at you with beady eyes and perceptible smiles is like a challenge not to think “awww”.

31 sara 12.05.09 at 1:47 am

*dies* *Then dies some more* Sloths are absolutely my favorite animals. I “adopted” two at my local zoo and I go to visit them pretty often. I call them “my boys” and I can’t get enough of them! Thank you for posting these pics…you totally made my day!!

32 Jackie 12.05.09 at 5:30 am

Did the Sloths all rent EVCs, they’re like the electric driving scooter things. Great for teh lazy and uh, people who need it.

33 bookmonstercats 12.05.09 at 5:33 am

What type is the brown fuzzy sloth, with the big smilinks, in the first piccy? *Singing horribly off key* “You’re the one that I want (you are the one I want) ooh ooh oooh… you’re the one that I want..(etc…) You’re the one I need, oh yes indee-hee-heed.”

Thank goodness that ear worm’s gone…. *Slinks away grumbling under breath about ear worms*

34 bookmonstercats 12.05.09 at 5:36 am

PS Prongs, how DO you do it? First Grandpa Munster, now Alan Alda. Are you a part time police identi-kit-sketch artist with a good eye for faces or somethin’?

35 janelle 12.05.09 at 7:29 am

Somebody needs to trademark “Sloth-in-a-Bucket”.

36 Amy G 12.05.09 at 7:29 am

omg omg omg SQUEEEEEEE! Cuuuuutttteeee leeeeeeetttle slooooooooooths! I love their fuzzy little faces!

37 the bug man 12.05.09 at 2:17 pm

bookmonstercats: “What type is the brown fuzzy sloth, with the big smilinks, in the first piccy?”

It’s the cute type, of course.

No seriously, that earworm-inducing sweetie in the first photo is probably a Linnaeus’ two-toed sloth. Which makes me envy Linnaeus.

38 Leilani 12.05.09 at 2:57 pm

I would lurve to have tea with Sloth #1, and I’d like to hang out with Sloth #2 because he looks like Ringo. RINGO. Not Alan Alda.

39 Ashley 12.06.09 at 3:42 pm

Omg. I know that sloth! That’s Buttercup the Sloth from Aviaros Del Caribe in Costa Rica. I had breakfast with her. :)

40 Monterri 12.07.09 at 1:16 am

@Leilani: Actually, it was Sloth #3 which, according to the hovertext, looked like Alan Alda; but, according to my own joke, resembled a boiled teabag just as much (if not more so!)

41 Bookmonstercats 12.07.09 at 5:58 am

Thank you, the bug man. You’re clearly a scholar as well as a gentleman. Now I can rest easy and make the Linneaus two-toed sloth picture my desktop, although I will also have to go on a quest to find out who Linnaeus and why he name sloth. So, tipping my topi to you sir, I will away.
