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...

Fairport Harbor 2 by Dave Flinta

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/)

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.

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...

What do you love about France?

Before coming to Walt Disney World, I looked at people's photos of the parks. One picture that stood out to me was a shot of this area in France in the World Showcase. They never mentioned where it was taken, but only that is was on WDW property. When I came here and set up my tripod for the first time, I found myself in this spot taking pictures. This shot was taken months ago and I wanted to wait for a great time to share it. I love the France Pavilion. I think the area is so true to form. I never hear about...

Have you been to the Dinoland Boneyard?

The story of Dinoland USA is one of my favorites. This little section of Dinoland is designed for small children to get out their pent up energy from waiting in line or waiting for their parents to get ride a ride because they were too small or even sitting through a performance. 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. One thing I love about Disney is how they are able to bring out feelings that you wouldn't otherwise feel. For example, I come from the North West. I have all four...

Can someone tell me what this is?

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. As I traveled around Africa one day, I came upon this spire or tower in the middle of Harambe. It stands so regally next to the restaurant there and I have no idea what it's for or...

Have you experienced Expedition Everest in the dark?

Yet another shot from the Before Park Opening Collection. Here I am in Animal Kingdom and I was setting up this shot and enjoying the peace and quiet that affords me while no guests are in the park. I was told that people sometimes hear some of the strangest sounds early in the morning and so I can't say I was startled, but I was not expecting the sound I did hear. It was almost mechanical yet you knew...

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is amazing. It contains two waterfalls on the Yellowstone River plus countless others along the sides. The multi-colored rocks result from effects of thermal activity on the rock.

If you were to get married in the parks, where would you do it?

Every time I wonder into Asia, I love to look around at the buildings and the details that Imagineering took to make the place look and feel the way it would be if I were really in these rural areas of the countries and cultures represented. I especially love the Yak n Yeti restaurant area. This white pavilion always looked like a great place for an outdoor wedding. It's why I...

Keep an eye on his youtube channel to see more of our adventures. I love this spot in EPCOT. I'm a huge fan of...

Have you told your friends about Digital Elegance?

When I left Disneyland in January of 2010, I went through a major withdrawal phase. I couldn't live without Disney in my life. I would go to the stores and see Princess things and see people referencing Disney stuff everywhere. On top of that, I would visit my facebook page which was still full of my past Disney friends and so they would talk about their shifts or talk about it to some degree. I missed it so much. I had to turn somewhere...

I have very sensitive eyes, so I am usually wearing sunglasses during the day. I switched over to polarized lenses some time ago and never went back. One of the benefits of having polarized lenses is seeing thing that others can't because they are either squinting, or there is some sort of other light blocking their view. Sometimes what I...

Which do you like better, California vs Orlando Tower of Terror?

I am fortune enough to have a great roommate who works at the Hollywood Tower of Terror. He is a blast to hang out with and I enjoy going to see him at work. Sometimes it's just to bum a ride home, but mostly because he's great at what he does. This particular night I was coming to get some shots... and then a ride home. I got off the bus and this was what I saw. I whipped out my tripod and boom got this shot with a couple others. I love the Tower of Terror here in Walt Disney World. The difference (of course I have to compare everything to Disneyland) between the Disneyland version is interesting. I love the queue and the riding into the 5th dimension parts of this one, but the boiler room in California combined with some of the effects and the drops, I am certain of, are better over there.

The angle of the Tower here is not as photogenic as in California, and it makes it a bit difficult to get a great shot, or at least of the main side. I'm pretty sure I can find an angle somewhere in the park, but I haven't been able to. Challenge Accepted! Just some fun tidbits about Tower that you may not have known. Expedition Everest is only 0.9 inches taller than Tower. There is no air conditioning on the right side 5th dimension corridors. And lastly, two of the chairs in the lobby are from the 1600's.

What do you think the story is here?

One of the things that people seem to miss as they adventure through Animal Kingdom is the little details. The roads have tracks in them of local types of tracks you would find, be it a bike or little car. In Asia the roads and building are just full of these little but profound details. As I was walking along I saw this walkway with backpacks and lanterns and next to the building was this bike. I had to wonder what the story was...

Which park icon is your favorite?

One of my first times in the Magic Kingdom fell on a full moon. I was surprised there weren't more people trying to capture what I saw. Then again this is not an easy shot to get when the moon is so bright. Even then trying to give the moon its full justice versus a crisp and bright foreground is also not easy to do. But I'm glad I got to get this photo on the day I did. Turns out that the full moon was something special. Had you stayed up that night to about 3 am...
