If you’ve spent any time in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you come to understand that the theming has been done as naturally as possible. Case in point, the water fountains featured on the Maharajah Jungle Trek are disguised as urns that provide Safe Water for Travelers.

Wandering along a path in Anandapur, you will notice the following vignette that is just off of the walkway. Looks just like a water main, right? Doesn’t Disney usually color those in Imagineering’s special green and gray colors (like the Club 33 door at Disneyland and the Soarin’ Building at Epcot)? I have run into those massive pipes at Disney resorts and they are usually painted to match the foliage.

Take a closer look at the water pipe and you can see that Disney attached a typical garden spigot to the side of the pipe. Handy for people needing to fill a bucket.

Taking a larger look at the tableau, you can see that the Imagineers provided some pots and buckets for the local farmers and possibly, some wayward travelers. Talk about a very creative solution!
