These flowers around Disneyland’s Partners statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse were especially pretty last year. This fisheye photo, taken a few nights earlier, was one of my favorite shots of 2011, but for some reason I never got around to posting this photo. We’re posting photos live from Disneyland all day today for
As you may have seen in our “One More Disney Day” planning post, we’re heading to Disneyland for #Disney24! Sarah will be posting a lot of real-time photo-updates from her iPhone to our Disney Tourist Blog Facebook Fan Page. If you want to follow the fun and festivities, “Like” Disney Tourist Blog on Facebook! We
A simple photo, yet one I enjoy. This photo makes me feel like I’m wandering through a forest; as I peak around the tree on the right side of the frame, a quaint castle is revealed. Obviously, this photo would tell that story a little better if there weren’t so many people in the photo,
Club 33 is a private club in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square. The entrance of the Club is adjacent to the Blue Bayou Restaurant at 33 Royal Street and is only recognizable by a circular sign with “33” on it. If you didn’t know the Club was there, you’d probably walk right past it, thinking the
This “fan” burst that appears in pretty much every Magic Kingdom style fireworks show is one of the most iconic and photogenic fireworks bursts. Sure, it’s not as awe-inspiring as seeing the grand finale in person, but this couple-second burst photographs much better than a grand finale, and is also fun to see fired off!
The first time we saw “Magical” (Disneyland’s special fireworks spectacular for the summer), we were really impressed. We like Wishes!, but Magical seemed better. At this point, we didn’t know much about Disneyland, we had just taken a quick three-day trip to Disneyland because we were in Southern California for a wedding. Upon returning, we
The Mickey Mouse fireworks head is the perfect way to begin Disneyland’s fireworks, as it really energizes the crowd for the coming show, be it “Remember… Dreams Come True,” “Believe… In Holiday Magic,” or something else. It can be difficult to capture by itself, as two bursts shoot immediately after it (the beginnings of which
Monet. Warhol. Van Gogh. Seurat. Here at the Disney Tourist Blog fine art gallery, we’ve commissioned some of the world’s all-time greatest artists to present their takes on some popular Disney subjects. That’s not exactly true, but thanks to some computer wizardry, I’ve created some samples of what these greats might produced had they ever
We receive a lot of Disney World and Disneyland questions via email and some through Twitter and Facebook. It’s tough to respond to each of these individually (especially with as busy as I get sitting around watching reruns of Cheers on late-night TV), so I thought I’d start a weekly Q&A where I respond to
2011 was an amazing year for us from the perspective of Disney trips. We took 4 trips to Walt Disney World and 2 trips to Disneyland this year, which was our most ever by a landslide. If you’ve read any of our trip reports, you know I’m fairly verbose, so in lieu of writing about
Merry Christmas from our castle to your castle. We hope everyone got all of the toys (or trips!) they wanted from Santa this year! Hope you all have very special days today! See the companion shot to this of Cinderella Castle by clicking here.
