Walt Disney World Archive
If you follow the Disney fan photographers, you probably know an inordinate number of us are really enamored with Partners. It’s one of my favorite things to photograph, and to me, embodies the spirit of the parks, and Walt’s dream for them, perfectly. But I’ve said all of this before, so here’s a little background
The next morning was another early one with the Destination D events beginning promptly at 9:30 am. Since we had purchased a refillable mug, I was going to get as much use out of it as possible, so I headed to the food court with it. Of course, what would a trip to the food
Handing in that final book brought us a great sense of accomplishment. It was as if we had just finished the Tour De France, except undoubtedly much more awesome. I had heard great things about the Tune In Lounge on a recent episode of WDWToday, so we headed over there for celebratory drinks. Well, at
Few things embody ‘spooky’ quite as well as the Haunted Mansion at night. The ambiance is decidedly macabre, yet it’s still not too creepy for small children. It’s one of the most brilliantly executed attractions at Walt Disney World (or Disneyland) for its ability to strike the perfect balance between scares (but not too scary)
Some of you are probably looking at this wondering, “what the heck is this mess of color?!” It’s the SpectroMagic parade at the Magic Kingdom.

We wanted to try something new with this post, a photo essay covering a rainy night in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. My favorite political commentator and philosopher is Bill Watterson, author of Calvin & Hobbes. A lot of the Calvin & Hobbes Sunday pieces ran with only drawn frames and not a
On the second morning, I headed out early again to snap some more photos. While out, I pondered my rankings for the Value Resorts based only on the look of the resort. (Once you take into account room quality, transportation, and food quality, Pop Century easily wins.) I quickly concluded that All Star Sports is
Upon first viewing, this looks just like any normal shot taken of Cinderella Castle from the Liberty Square Bridge (Kodak Photo Spot). It’s a pretty plain Castle shot, right? If you look closer, or compare it to a normal shot taken from this location, you’ll notice that Cinderella Castle appears far smaller, and the moat
If you’ve viewed many of my photos, you’re no doubt aware that I love capturing the tranquility of the parks at night. While Tomorrowland is my favorite place to photograph at night due to its ambiance, Frontierland takes the tranquility crown. At night, it really captures the true spirit of the American West. In fact,
Aren’t the Disney Details one of the biggest things that compel all of us to return to the Disney theme parks so frequently? We all have our favorite attractions, to be sure, but the Disney Details, like this small bronze statue of Pluto found in the Magic Kingdom’s hub, make the parks rife for exploration.
I neglected to introduce our team previously, mostly because I didn’t want to reveal the photo of my brilliant Figment costume prematurely. Our team consisted of myself and Sarah, plus our friend Nick, and JL Knopp of http://TheDisneyDrivenLife.com. As we stood in line earlier that morning at Epcot, we were struggling for a team name.
