Do you feel like you're in Toy Story when you visit Pizza Planet?

 

Of all the places in Walt Disney World, I've been to Pizza Planet quite a few times. More than I should admit. I remember the first time I stepped foot in here, I knew that at one point I would be posting a picture of it so I walked around while my friends ordered their food. While I was in the bathroom I heard a little boy say to his father, "Daddy? I want to go to Chuck E. Cheeses!" To which the father replied...

Which Pavilion is your favorite?

 

I have watched many movies that take place in Paris, France. And one show I remember watching in my youth was Highlander. A few seasons actually took place in Paris and I'm not sure exactly why, but Seattle wasn't being very nice to having people shoot a TV show with sword fighting in their slums. I loved the show, and one of my favorite things was where Duncan McLeod of the Clan McLeod would have his...

Do you ever stop here and shoot stuff?

 

One of the fun things to do in Magic Kingdom is to venture to Frontierland and go to this tucked away location a try your hand at shooting targets to make things move or light up. My friend makes it a point to come here at least once a visit to the park. I love these games. This one is one of the best, but for some reason I hardly ever see it busy. Maybe because people are really bad shots. I happen...

OMG its SO HOT IN HERE!

I dont like hot weather really. I prefer cold. Ahhhhhhhhhh! :-)

Actually after trying skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding i can pretty much say snowboarding is my very favorite.

Too bad i live i a place with NO SNOW and i have to get in a plane to do it!

Oh well!

Anyway... someone told me something today that made me think A LOT.

So lemme go back to my very own thoughts!

 

Cheers,

After that you are ushered into... well I'm not going to spoil that bit for you if you haven't already gone into Belle's Cottage to see the Enchanted Tales with Belle.

Where do you feel like you have really stepped away from reality and gone somewhere else?

 

The other day, I got the chance to sit in front of Mr. Joe Rohde and listen to him go on about how amazing the expansion will be for the Harambe Market and how Africa will blow our minds. He showed photos of the real places in Africa and how they match up with Disney counterparts. I was fascinated by how they...

There is something about a quiet Disney Park.

Which attraction in Walt Disney World has the best queue?

 

Wondering around Disney's Animal Kingdom late at night, I stumbled upon an area I had never been as a guest. I was so turned around yet dumbfounded by the beauty and detail in this place. Covered from the light rain, I was happy to find shelter in the queue of Kali River Rapids. Not only was I happy to out of the rain, but the things here turned my tired eyes to a wide-eyed stare...

Are you excited to see the renovations completed on the Polynesian Resort?

 

With there being so much construction all over the parks, the resorts are having their fair share as well. The Polynesian is getting a pretty nice overhaul and I think will be amazing, but for the time being, there is not much to take pictures of, except walls. I happen to be walking from my bus stop to the Monorail and I stumbled upon this amazing angle. I love the theming here. I can't wait till...

As you get off the Seas with Nemo and Friends ride you exit to a huge area to see all sorts of animals from under the sea.

Which is your favorite side of Cinderella Castle?

 

One of the great design features of Cinderella Castle is that you can photograph it from so many different angles. I have shot it from many of them and still haven't gotten every one. This is one of my all time favorites, though. I love the reflections. They are almost perfectly clear. This is part of my BPO Collection I love walking around...

What do you think of the architecture of Animal Kingdom Lodge?

 

I don't usually like to make complaints on this blog, but today I would like to ask you all, why did the architects design Animal Kingdom Lodge so oddly? I don't get why you have to walk to 3 different half levels just to get to places. I got so confused just to get to this place. I was fine with the adventure, but if I was a guest I would be quite upset. This seems to go along with the design of Discover Island at...

What can you learn from a photo like this?

 

It was a nice morning in Animal Kingdom when I started my day. The clouds were mostly flat and the air was crisp. Guests started to come into the park and I had almost given up on taking any photos of any place where they were walking around. Luckily, they hadn't gone over toward the Lion King Theater yet. I set up and took...

What did you take a picture of that you were glad you had your camera on you?

 

When I go to EPCOT I seem to forget about this side of the park. It's not that it's good, it's just that I have not given it the full attention it deserves yet. I haven't even experiences Soarin' on this side of the world yet. But I did come to the park one night and walked over to this side briefly. I saw this sunset and couldn't help take a shot. I wasn't really planning on taking anything. It goes to show, you should always have your...

What treat do you have to get when you visit the Parks?

 

As I was walking around Animal Kingdom, I went into Chester and Hester's shop. I love that shop and there are so many things to look at. Back when I was starting to play around the HDR photography, I went to a bead shop in Utah. I took a couple of these types of shots with a shallow depth of field and brought out the colors. To this day, they are some of my favorites. I fell in love with HDR. So to play...

I am SO SO SO TIRED.

I went to work today and then went to this meeting with some friends from the photography e-group that im also member of..

It was pretty cool because it was actually a meeting with some history students so their professor was telling the history of the places while we walked by.

Tried to pay attention, but i was actually more focused on taking pics. Oh well!

I waled a LOT and now i just need to rest!

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful thursday!

Which country-based restaurant would you eat at first?

 

When going around EPCOT, there are so many things to look at and take photos of. I get stuck in areas taking picture after picture of the same thing from different angles and have easily lost track of time. There is one thing that these World Showcase Countries have to offer that can't be missed... FOOD! Each area features...

Of all the parks in the Walt Disney Resort, EPCOT seems to me to be the most photogenic. Maybe because it's so easy to get lost in all the theming. Or maybe it's because it's the park I've given most of my time to outside of work. I'm certain that it's like I have said before. I feel the most at home in EPCOT. World Showcase or anywhere else, it feels like my kind of park. A place to look to the future and learn from other cultures. I'm all about technology and trying not to be so ignorant to the traditions of others in this lovely world we share.

 

I put a lot of love into this photo. I hope you all can feel it and wish to share this your friends and family. I'm also interested in hearing from you all as to what you would like to see pictures of. Please make comments below or send me a message on any of the social media sites I'm on.

Have you seen The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights in Disney's Hollywood Studios?

 

On a personal note I am having a very difficult time this year with the Holiday Season. Five years ago, I was in Disneyland working in PhotoPass and I was having the time of my life. I was experiencing my very first Disney Christmas and I was in love. Now I'm in Disney World and I am feeling a bit lonely. Disney World is so large and every bit of music and decoration reminds me of the past and how I miss that. But the other night...

Okay, so this house hanging above the stream is my second attempt at an HDR. I fiddled with this one a bit more to get it to *pop* a bit -- again, hard to be sure how successful it really is. I'll leave that decision to all you glorious Flickrmonkeys.

Which character would you have lunch with?

 

I love this place, the Princess Fairytale Hall. The building is so nice and the theming is over the top. I have yet to see inside, but the exterior is marvelous. What a great way for children of all ages to come meet their favorite princess. With the popularity of Anna and Else, this place is crazy busy with families waiting to see them. Disney has done almost anything they can to get more people through to see them and now trying to get rid of...

What do you like about the Wilderness Lodge?

 

While exploring the Wilderness Lodge at the Walt Disney Resort, I found this little area in one of the other buildings. What you are not able to see is the fireplace behind the bird cage. On the other side of the wall is the fireplace and a great place to sit and relax. I really love this place. It reminds me so much of the Grand Californian in California. It has that homey feeling that rustic cabins can give...

What is your favorite thing about the Backlot Tour?

 

With the many things available to do and see in Disney's Hollywood Studios, one of the things that I think is really fun but not well advertised is the Backlot Tour. It's kinda shoved back in a corner of Studios where people don't go very often. Sure there is a restaurant area and the Streets of America, but even then the cast members that stand as sentries don't seem to want more people to enjoy...

When setting a table, where does the soup spoon go?

 

I keep saying it, but it's very true. Hollywood Studios is the toughest park to photograph, but when it comes to interior shots this place shines like no other. I love the attention to detail here in the 50's Prime Time Diner. This is certainly on my bucket list of places to eat at. I have time on my side so I haven't done it yet. I have been told you get told by the wait staff to get your elbows off the table and all other types of...

Do you like the Teacups?

 

The Mad Tea Party or the "Teacups", as most people call it, is a ride I seldom ride. Not because I don't like it. On the contrary, I love it. I rarely go to the parks with anyone who wants to ride it, though. I'm either alone or the group I'm with would rather spend their time on something else. I don't blame them. There are a lot more things to do in Magic Kingdom. I did convince some friends of mine to ride with me...

It wasn't until my fourth time in the park that I finally got everything down and now...

There's something about Japan and Japanese culture that draws me in. Maybe it's the fact that I've been doing Origami for decades or that I do watch an occasional Anime series or movie. But ever since my first piece of sushi, there has been nothing holding me back from learning about these wonderful people. The Germans, though they have some differences in culture, aren't too different from what I grew up with. But Japanese culture come in with...

What do you do to keep yourself from turning into a Dinosaur?

 

So I decided today I would post a photo from my ride. Yup, I work here at Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom normally when I'm not running around the parks and resorts taking pictures or at home editing them. I really like it here. I feel like I've joined a new family and everyone is usually very friendly. Like every place there are few people that have lost the magic as to why they work there. I find it very sad.

Magic was made one time I visited Disney's California Adventure. Carsland had just opened and for some reason I was possessed to get food at the Cozy Cone. Cone 4 had a thing called Red's Apple Freeze. It sounded like something I had to try. When I did, I fell in love and wondered why there wasn't a longer line for this magical drink. Here I am in Walt Disney World and a friend of mine got a LeFou's Brew and asked if I wanted to try it. I took one look at it and almost dropped. I had been over to Gaston's Tavern before taking pictures but no one had told me that this was CONE 4!!! The same drink is here in all its glory. I get one now almost every time I go to the Magic Kingdom.

 

For those, like me, who wish to make this lovely drink while looking at this amazing picture in the comfort of your pajamas and jumbo office chair, I found this lovely lady who has a youtube channel called The Disney Diner. Watch this simple and short video on how to make your own Red's Apple Freeze or LeFou's Brew. Subscribe to her channel and then share this post with your friends.

It happened again today. Infrequently, but it does happen, Dinosaur the ride had a delayed opening due to a technical issue. One thing I got to do while telling people that it was down was take photos of families with our beloved Dino Sue. She is quite magnificent and worth getting a shot in front of.

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times EPCOT has the most photogenic areas in the "World". Of all the places in the World Showcase, I love the attention to detail that Morocco has to offer. Rumor has it, the royalty of Morocco had natives come over to help build it. I don't doubt it one bit. The work in this area is exquisite. This is one of my favorite areas in Morocco. I love the Mosaic Tessellation. It's work like this that...
