At Christmas-time, Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom is enhanced with the “Castle Dream Lights,” which give the Castle a resplendent glow. This look is amplified in the rain, when the lights from Cinderella Castle and all around Main Street glisten off the pavement. Sarah and I took a quick trip to Walt Disney World
This photo is what photographers describe as a happy accident (assuming you like it…if not, then I suppose it’s just an accident!). I was way at the end of Main Street, swinging around my bulky Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens (security would have thought I were the paparazzi if it weren’t for the fact that no
These festive Walt Disney World Christmas Facebook Covers will give a little holiday cheer to your Facebook Timeline! We’ve had several requests for Christmas timeline covers, so we thought we’d start our seasonal sets with Christmas timeline cover photos from Walt Disney World. While we have some of the big things covered, please let me
Translated that means, roughly, Sleeping Beauty Castle is the fairest of them all. At least that’s what I hope it means. As I learned a couple of times in France, my French is not the best (the low-light of this “learning” was accidentally requesting that a waitress carry to our table a several-foot tall menu

We recently spent a few days at Disneyland Resort Paris, and were absolutely blown away by the resort–mostly due to its Disneyland park, which is currently celebrating both Christmas and its 20th anniversary. While Disneyland Paris still suffers from many of its problems that have been documented over the last several years, we were surprised

The lights on the attraction’s facade are not on the same level as the Osborne Lights as Walt Disney World, but they are similarly captivating. This is
I suspect that when half of you groaned when you read that title, and the other half of you smiled. There seems to be a pretty even split on the “issue” of Christmas before Thanksgiving: half are in the spirit right after Halloween, and half don’t want to hear or see anything Christmas until the
The last ghouls slowly perish from the Magic Kingdom after a long night during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in September 2012. Halloween in the Magic Kingdom is always fun, even if it would be a little more fun if there were a couple of attraction overlays for the season, like there are in
The Boo To You Parade is right up there with Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade as the best parades shown at Walt Disney World Resort. This parade is shown only during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, and features several “units.” The first unit is called Mickey’s Trick-or-Treat Bash, which has a lot of
