Disneyland is unquestionably the most beautiful Disney theme park at Christmas-time. We recently had the pleasure of experiencing it for the first at Christmas, and we were absolutely blown away. We went in with very high expectations, and they were easily surpassed. From Haunted Mansion Holiday to “it’s a small world” holiday to the beautiful
Up until 2007, I didn’t think Disney could make Cinderella Castle look any more breathtaking. Then Walt Disney World went and added stunning icicle lights to Cinderella Castle for Christmas. While the lights are no cake 😉 they are still quite stunning, and really put the Magic Kingdom in a festive mood. We’re quite excited
The topiaries, such as this one of Pluto, are one of the last vestiges of Christmas in Epcot’s Future World. While these topiaries are very cool and wonderfully done, to me, Future World still lacks the holiday spirit that can be found in many other parts of Walt Disney World. The caption above is a
Given that this is the first year of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Walt Disney World since Jennings Osborne, the creator of the light-show upon which the Disney version is based, I’d like to think these angels take on a bit of a special meaning. These lights obviously meant a lot to
What do you get when you leave your camera’s shutter open for 239 seconds during the fireworks portion of Holiday Illuminations at Walt Disney World? This. This is a single-exposure shot of the fireworks, pretty much straight out of the camera (it has been sharpened and I removed an odd spot of lens flare). Although
Don’t expect the Train Station to look this pretty decked out with Christmas decorations in 2011, as the powers that be have left the “Let the Memories Begin” marketing out to clash with the Christmas decorations. Although I’m not a fan of the “Let the Memories Begin” decor in front of the Train Station, it
Halloween isn’t even a distant memory, and Thanksgiving has yet to happen. Yet retailers and cities are already beginning to roll out the Christmas decorations. Soon, so will the Brickers! Tonight, actually. I have plenty of excuses as to why (we won’t be at home much between now and Christmas, so we want to get
There’s something about a beautiful fountain in a swanky hotel’s lobby that’s filled with suavely-dressed businessmen that just makes you want to lace up your sneakers, grab your camera, and lean into the fountain and take a few photos. Of course, the key is to quickly lean out and make haste as you walk away,
While much of the rest of Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort has needed significant work to make it a “real” Disney theme park, one land that Disney got right from the start is the Golden State. From Grizzly River Run to the Redwood Forest to all of Condor Flats (except that tacky sign at
Happy Halloween! Although this photo doesn’t SCREAM Halloween at Walt Disney World, I think it embodies the best aspects of Halloween and any Walt Disney World vacation: the fall colors on Main Street, USA and seeing Cinderella Castle looming in the distance. There is nothing quite like seeing Cinderella Castle in the distance (well, except
