Which icon is your favorite?
When I get to each park, there is a central icon that draws the attention. For Magic Kingdom, it's the Castle. For Hollywood Studios, it's the Hat. For Animal Kingdom, it's the Tree. But for EPCOT, it's the "Golf Ball"! I'm not sure which is my favorite, but I can say easily it's not the Hat in Hollywood Studios. Maybe because they keep putting some sort of stage in front of it to see it properly. The EPCOT Globe which holds Spaceship Earth is...

Have you tried this place?
This place is on the top of my bucket list for restaurants in Hollywood Studios and maybe in all of the parks. A friend of mine wanted to get a small group, sit in the corner and play a game called Fiasco. It would have been a great time, but she decided that her Disney career was done early. I miss her. The Brown Derby has a feel of a classy joint that would have fit well in the new revamp of California Adventure, but I have to admit Carthay Circle is one amazing place to eat...

another attempt at HDR but the jumble of branches in the background was soo ewww. and the white house a major distraction. so i added the zoom blur. not sure if it helped or if i made it worse lol..
What brings you to the Boardwalk?
It was like a night like any other and the air was warm and thick from the humid day. The sounds of flip flops and heals on wood could still be heard over the laughter and fireworks in the far distance. Then it hit like a freight train. A smell of freshly baked goods wafted in from my right. There was no stopping my head from turning toward the warmly lit building. Quaint apartments sat above the Boardwalk Bakery that housed this addicting smell. I entered in and there saw a lovely sight. Pastries stretched out waiting for me, but that was not the loveliest sight to behold. The woman behind the counter had a smile that would make Helen of Troy defer her fleets...

Where in the parks would you go to eat breakfast?
Continuing from yesterday's post on breakfast, I thought I'd post this fun shot of France. Back in the back, there is a little cafe. The smells that come from this area are heavenly. This shot was taken without a tripod on one of my first days here in Walt Disney World. I got into EPCOT about 30 minutes before the park opened and started getting shots of places. Being the first time in EPCOT I went straight for the World Showcase and realized that not all of it opened with the park. So while waiting for it to open, I went to the parts that were open to take a couple of shots. One of the places that is open is France. Here I came upon a woman eating her breakfast and going over paperwork. This transported me directly back to the two years I spend in Switzerland over 10 years ago. I missed the smells and the people. No matter the size of the city, breakfast in Europe always has a quaint little town village.
By the way, I want to thank all of you who are liking this page on facebook and especially to those who use the photos and share them with friends and family. We just hit over 100 likes and things are going up. Thank you!

What is your favorite Pavilion?
The other day, I was with some friends killing time before our performances for the Candlelight show with Neil Patrick Harris. One of my friends turns to me and says, the sky looks great for a photo. I happen to have my camera with me and so I stepped into this little area next to Morocco and set up shop. I took quite a few shots and different angles. I didn't want to miss this and I wanted...

What areas has the best lights?
I've been asked to get this picture for a friend of mine. I would have taken it anyway, but here it is a bit sooner than I would have posted it. I love the lights in Animal Kingdom. These ones here feature the animals of the logo for Animal Kingdom. I do wonder if they will change everything with the expansion of Pandora later or if they will bring in dragons into Pandora to justify if being on the logo. The Spanish Moss here seems to...

What do you recommend to eat here?
I used my own advice the other day while walking around Animal Kingdom. Go in a restaurant before they open and get some great shots of it empty. Sure enough at around 10:00 am the park was getting packed with people, but the Yak-n-Yeti was completely empty. They didn't open for another hour. This place has such an amazing interior. I'm not sure where I would want to sit while eating here, but I can tell you it's most likely upstairs...

Is this show better than Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular?
The last time I came to Studios, I decided to go and see this show. I couldn't wait. It had just started to sprinkle as I got in line and thought nothing of it. Then off in the background I could see some amazing flashes and about 30 seconds later and loud boom cracked over head. The rain got more intense, the booms got closer, and the flashes more brilliant. We still moved in...

The guy on the left kept shaking his head. I don't know if he was amazed or just plain bored. The lady sat very still throughout the 3 exposures that ultimately made up this shot. She must have really enjoyed the view.
What is your favorite Disney World Queue?
Still to this day there is one thing that Walt Disney World has that Disneyland does not... Room to Queue! And with that room, imagineers have designed some of the most elaborate and lovely queues. Some interactive, some educational, but all great to look at. The next thing I'm assuming they'll start doing is adding more things to make you hungry as you wait in line. I know hunger took...

So today my cousin invited me to go to this beach called Itacoatiara with him.
Everytime i go there is pretty special because its my favorite beach ever!
Its so gorgeous there and full of beautiful people.
It was also cool because i met MMA/Pride FC star Ricardo Arona! We had a quick chat and i took a picture with him.

Is Dino-Rama too cheesy and low budget for Disney?
Before coming to Disney World and even before finding out where I was going to be working, I was talking to a friend of mine about the many differences of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. We got on the topic of Dinoland U.S.A. and he explained the story behind it and how many people don't like it, but to him the story is much more thick and well placed than most...

I finally got out to shoot some fog. It is fun but it took me several tries to get the exposure how I wanted it. This is at the end of the boat ramp in Springfield Oregon by Hayden Bridge.

Do you get elaborate masks for Mardi Gras?
In Italy, one of my favorite stops is the Mask Shop. The ornate artistry from this third party vendor fit in perfectly with the spirit of Disney. I had a chance to speak with the Italians tending to this store and found them to be some of the most happy and friendly people I've met in my life. I love the Italians and it reminded me of my time in...

Have you eaten at the Jiko Restaurant?
In one of my latest adventures after work, I decided to go not too far from Animal Kingdom. I went to Animal Kingdom Lodge to check out more of this amazing building. Next to that amazing stairway I took a shot of, are two restaurants, Boma and Jiko. Jiko is a classy place with an amazing menu. I walked in while people were just finishing up and the staff were still...

I love this secret spot. Its just behind the play park in our village - Crosby. We took the kids for a play tonight on the swings and I couldn't resist climbing over the fence to catch this picture of the sun starting it's decent over the newly ploughed fields.
The Isle of Man truly is a stunning place to live :0)

Do you "Fall" in love with the Magic Kingdom Decorations?
Once again I was kicked out of the Magic Kingdom. Security was tight after the park had been extended an hour. I didn't want the extension. It meant that I would be leaving the park later than expected and that most people wouldn't be as nice as they usually are at the end of the night for photographers with tripods. Although, the plus side meant that no one else would be lingering in my shots...

Who else is celebrating a birthday today?
Today is a special day for Hollywood Studios. Rock'n' Roller Coaster turns 15. And to top it all off a friend of mine, who works there, shares her birthday with it. I would say go visit her today, but she is smart and took the day off. The coaster, on the other hand, is working on its birthday. It would be interesting to see if Aerosmith shows up today. Interestingly enough, Steve Tyler visits the ride often and...

Have you watched One Man's Dream?
Whenever I am feeling low about my career in Disney or don't think I should keep up with my passion for photography and doing what I do, I make my way to Disney's Hollywood Studios and go straight to One Man's Dream. I take my time to visit the historic displays and challenge my Disney Trivia, but my main focus is to watch the show at the end of the gallery. The show gets me pumped up. It makes me realize that...

What was your best cast member experience?
With it being Walt Disney World's birthday I thought I'd pay tribute to the true reason the parks are such a success. The Cast Members. Not just because I am one, but even when I was a guest for my very first time, it wasn't the rides that captured my heart, it was the whole experience. It was the cast that brought Walt's vision to life and made it what it is today. Cybil here was just one of the many cast members I've met since moving here. Her bright smile and...

An HDR photo taken at the Fairport Harbor lighthouse.
The original lighthouse was completed in 1825. The tower stood thirty feet high, capped with an octagonal-shaped iron lantern. The lighthouse was accompanied by a two-story keeper's house.Due to deterioration the tower and keeper's house had to be replaced. Rebuilt in 1871, the tower now stands sixty feet high and has a spiral staircase of 69 steps which leads to an observation platform.In 1925 the light in the tower (a third-order Fresnel lens) was discontinued. It was replaced by a combination light and foghorn station which was built on the west breakwater pier head. (http://www.ncweb.com/org/fhlh/)
Which Park has the best Christmas Tree?
I went to EPCOT extra early to to take a few photos of the park before it opened while I waited to practice with the Candlelight Choir and help the cast members learn how to group and move the guest choirs. It was a fun event, but I certainly had more fun that morning taking photos. I cam across the Christmas tree and noticed they were sweeping away the water from pressure washing the ground that...

Did you get to ride Maelstrom one last time?
I was fortunate enough to ride Maelstrom on its last night with all the bloggers and fans of the ride. I was not the last to ride, but I did experience the last showing of the movie for the regular public. It was quite emotional for a ride that really when it came down to it, not many people liked. It seemed weird all of these people wanting to save it, when if you asked them last year if they should get rid of it for something bigger and better they would all say yes. I got a few shots of this place for its last night and wanted to post more in this one post. I will get the rest out soon. Keep looking at this blog for more pictures and also the Facebook Page.

The story of Dinoland USA is one of my favorites.

This area is great and full of detail that many miss. I don't know of...

Walt Disney World have put on it's fall colors and is ready for Halloween. This year with a celebration of the movie Hocus Pocus. 2 Years too late if you ask me, but that's okay.

I will be the first to say, I do not know everything about Walt Disney World. Even with living here, working here and visiting the parks for the past 6 months, I still am learning new things about this whole new world.
