With its lush trees, brick paths, and gorgeous flowers, Disneyland’s hub is pretty much always a nice place to be. This is especially true at night, when the lights in the trees around the hub flicker, and Sleeping Beauty Castle is bathed in a vibrant lights. It’s doubly true at nighttime in the spring, when
I love these little statues in the hub. Heck, on “One More Disney Day” alone, I took over 100 shots of these statues! (Oddly, I didn’t take a single one of the Goofy statue on that particular day.) Given that I took so many on that one single day, I’m almost surprised that I took
World of Color at Disney California Adventure is now one of my favorite nighttime spectaculars. It hasn’t always been that way. On our first trip to Disneyland, we were overwhelmed by California Adventure as a whole, the park that many locals trash, but underwhelmed by World of Color, the nighttime spectacular that many have anointed
Not a soul is in Disneyland’s hub on an early morning in March. With its Tabebuia trees and their beautiful pink blossoms, along with clay-red bricks, meticulously-wrought park benches, hanging flower planters, and Partners surrounded by a bed of vibrant flowers, nothing is quite as beautiful and distinctly “Disney” setting than Disneyland’s hub in the
…through the Universe of Energy! The sun is just outside the crop on the left of this photo, but its presence is abundantly apparent. From the warm glow throughout the shot to the reflection of the sun bursting on the “RS” of “UNIVERSE,” the sun permeates this scene. Much like energy permeates our lives. Energy
The amount of history in The Golden Horseshoe is just staggering to me. The Golden Horseshoe Stage unofficially opened on July 13, 1955, as the Golden Horseshoe Saloon, when Walt and Lillian Disney celebrated their 30th anniversary with a private party and the premiere showing of the original Golden Horseshoe Revue. A few days later,
Shortly after sunrise in the Magic Kingdom, as I was passing from Liberty Square to Fantasyland, I saw some rays of light striking the ground through this heavily-wooded area. I noticed a bit of clearing, so I leaned over the rail here and saw the top turrets of Cinderella Castle peaking out from behind the
As the sun fell below the horizon at Disneyland on this March afternoon, the trees on the outer rim of the hub were illuminated with a beautiful orange glow around their edges. These beautifully-lit trees form the background bokeh in this Partners photo of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. I took over 200 photos of
Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is breath-taking. This post contains photos of the back of Cinderella Castle, which is especially beautiful, although it’s something a lot of guests miss! Many people stop, dead in their tracks, when they first see the Castle and simply stare in awe. After composing themselves, they photograph
No part of Walt Disney World resonates with me as much as the version of EPCOT Center that existed during my childhood years. There was such a sense of bright-eyed optimism about the place and slogans like “we’ve just begun to dream” and “the dawning of a new Disney era” really bore out the ambition
When the sun set on “One More Disney Day” at Disneyland, the park came alive. This is when the bulk of crowds appeared, so I thought it was appropriate to show this hustle and bustle as people raced past Sleeping Beauty Castle. Oddly enough, I did manage to capture a version of this photo without
