Last week I talked about Looking Down at Walt Disney World. This week we are Looking Up….from Our Phones. Believe me, I appreciate the modern day Smart Phone as much as the next person.

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Here are a few ideas on how to separate your subject from its background which are often busy at Walt Disney World. I have previously gone into detail on how to use Aperture mode on a dSLR camera to blur out the background while keeping the subject sharp and clear.

Review: Jungle Skipper Canteen at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom

Posted on by AllEars
My family and I were among those excited to dine at the first new sit-down restaurant in the Magic Kingdom since Be Our Guest opened in 2012.

We actually didn't think it was that bad because we were prepared to wait to try something new.

I remember Walt Disney gleefully describing how they got the audio-animatronics to work in a … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Pirates of the Caribbean"

Disney Pic of the Week – Jungle Cruise

Posted on by Lisa Berton
I love the Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World and I looooove the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. Why the difference in my level of affection? In my personal and vast experience, west coast skippers are funnier for the entire ride whereas east coast skippers either excel or fail inside the cave. And no, … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Jungle Cruise"

The Magic Kingdom is full of details and I had fun looking for and photographing on a recent trip. Let’s start with the Pirates Bazaar which is the shop you enter after sailing through Pirates of the Caribbean. This shop, like all Disney shops, is a treasure trove of subjects.
