Is The Walt Disney Studios Park a Disney Park? That’s a seemingly odd question given that it’s a park and it’s owned by Disney. Logic would thus dictate that it’s a Disney Park. However, the question this article poses is whether the Walt Disney Studios Park has the defining characteristics of a Disney theme park,
It’s been a while, and in case you forgot or missed it, we left off the previous installment at the end of a day in Tokyo DisneySea, with Fantasmic!, dinner at Cafe Portofino, and some nighttime photography in Mysterious Island, Arabian Coast, and other locations before calling it a night. The next morning was my
I’m a big fan of photographing the Disney fireworks with neutral density filters. I’ve photographed all of the fireworks shows enough times that I have more photos of them than I’ll ever know what to do with, but I can’t resist the urge to shoot them every night we’re at Disneyland or Walt Disney World.
Now it’s time for another Weekend Update. We know these updates are sporadic and inconsistent, but that’s what keeps them interesting…right? Like Nicolas Cage perched on a dark hill spider monkey style, you never know when one will pounce on you! 😉 It seems like the big thing this weekend was the AVATAR Land concept
Plans for AVATAR Land have been posted online, and on October 12, 2013 at the Japan D23 Expo, Disney released concept art seeming to confirm these plans. While Disney didn’t explicitly say so, the concept art features a boat floating through a nighttime jungle of bioluminescent plants (think Living with the Land, except breathtaking “Imagineered”
Everyone gets a family photo in front of Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World on their Disney vacation. It’s practically a law or something that you do. You probably don’t need any pointers when it comes to those photo locations, so this article will point out great photo options that do not include the main
We’re in the midst of a quick weekend trip to Disneyland to check out its Halloween season offerings for the first time (note: this was scheduled to post on Sunday night but didn’t for some reason…hence the “weekend” update on a Tuesday…the weekend trip is now over) and to say goodbye to the Court of
Liberty Inn is located in Epcot’s World Showcase at Walt Disney World. It’s a quick service restaurant with a menu highlighting the finest in American cuisine…uh…yeah. Liberty Inn participates in the Disney Dining Plan as a counter service credit. It does not accept the Tables in Wonderland card for a 20% discount. Liberty Inn is
After lunch, we didn’t have much time to get back to Mediterranean Harbor before Legend of Mythica started. It fortunately wasn’t too busy of a day, and we had a fairly good view, even showing up only 15 minutes before the show started. Mythica has an interesting storyline involving the dynamic of the human and
Epcot’s World Showcase is often considered boring, unless you like to drink around the world or do some snacking. For its size, it has one of the worst ride distributions in all of Walt Disney World, and more “educational films” than most guests will tolerate. After Disney’s Animal Kingdom, it’s probably the second-most divisive large-scale
The Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye lens is the go-to budget fisheye lens for photographers using full frame DSLRs. At only around $225, it allows you to have a fisheye lens in your bag without breaking the bank on something you might use sparingly (or not, if you’re me). Regular readers of the site will know
