Child View of Enchanted Tales with Belle Queue

As adults, we often forget how a child sees Walt Disney World.

While I was waiting in the Stand By queue for the Enchanted Tales with Belle in Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom and took the photo you see below. I remembered a long ago request from a blog reader to show a child’s view of the parks.

There were a few children in the room and I got down as low as they were. The next photo of the same scene shows how they would see the book on Maurice’s desk. A few off the children were French-Canadian and could read the French text. I was told the book was opened to the story of Sleeping Beauty.

The next photo is a real eye opener for me. Looking up from behind the bin holding plans of Maurice’s inventions, the painting of a young Belle with her mother was nicely framed between them.

The older I get, the harder it is getting low angle photos. Still, it is worth a few cracking knees for unique results like these.
