HalloWishes is a special Halloween fireworks show that is presented during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, a special hard ticket event, at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. This fireworks spectacular is shown once per night during this $50+ special event themed to Halloween, and the full name of the fireworks show is “Happy HalloWishes:
A mainstay of the Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Halloween decorations is the pumpkin band that surrounds the flag pole on Main Street, USA (the band even has its own Mayor, for some reason!). I view this pumpkin as the band leader, as I find his costume somewhat similar to the famous “Mickey Mouse Band
Another Disney photo from my night of walking around photographing pumpkins and fall decorations in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Although I really like the “Sharing the Magic” statue that normally sits in this spot, These pumpkins make for a really cool photo op. Unfortunately, the flag pole makes shooting this area difficult, and forced
We recently attended Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and the party was better than ever. Great new decorations were up in Adventureland and Frontierland to compensate for the loss of Toontown, and plenty of characters were out for the party. The lighting and music were also great. Of
At the end of the day on Walt Disney World’s 40th Anniversary, I was tired, to say the least. Starting at around 6:30 am, by the time 1 am rolled around, I was ready to call it a night. However, I really wanted photos of the beautiful Halloween decorations all around the Magic Kingdom, so
Splash Mountain is one of our favorite attractions at Walt Disney World. Splash Mountain is a log flume attraction that is based loosely on the controversial animated film Song of the South. It shares common characters and the overarching story is similar. The attraction tells the story of the mischievous Br’er Rabbit, as he leaves
Holiday Wishes! is by far my favorite Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom fireworks show. Overall, it’s my third favorite fireworks show, behind Remember… Dreams Come True and Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. While I know we have a while to go before it’s the Christmas season again (my favorite time of year!), I thought it’d be
The Hub in the Magic Kingdom at night is a truly special place, and a place I could sit for hours upon hours without ever wanting to ride a single attraction. I wanted to capture the great ambiance of the hub with this shot, and show the things I love the most about the hub:
I don’t know what this burst in Wishes! is actually called, but I like to think of it as the “When You Wish Upon A Star” burst, as the left streak along the top of the frame occurs first, as if it were a shooting star floating above Cinderella Castle. It’s one of my favorite
Another shot from my series of Disney infrared photos. While I don’t normally do too well photography-wise at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, with only 15 minutes to use my infrared camera there, I think I got a fair amount of keepers. This is partially, I think, because the white of the infrared greenery (well, what would
After the Pirates of the Caribbean Helmsman, this is the most difficult-to-photograph dark ride scene in all of Walt Disney World. Capturing a good shot of the caretaker requires great timing, great manual focusing skills (or great luck with auto-focus!), fast lenses, and a camera capable of clean high ISOs. The last point is especially
