The Flying Dutchman

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Scott came up with our theme this week, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Movies. My original theme, Johnny Depp in Various Stages of Sexy, was vetoed. Bugger! Instead of posting a photo I never took of Johnny, here’s one I took of Davy Jones’ ship, The Flying Dutchman. It was anchored at Disney’s Castaway Cay … Continue reading "The Flying Dutchman"

Disney Pic of the Week: Pirates of the Caribbean, the Movie

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Raise your hands if you thought Disney would be successful in making movies based on themepark rides or attractions? I wonder how many of you would have raised your hands before the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Curse of the Black Pearl. Now with four movies in the series with a fifth in the … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Pirates of the Caribbean, the Movie"

Disney Pic of the Week – Boats

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Ahoy there! Set sail with Scott and I as we set our sights on those magnificent floating vessels found at Walt Disney World. Being the piratical rebel that I am, I’ve selected a special photo for you today. Seen here is the mock patrol boat and volunteers used to demonstrate movie action scenes that use … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Boats"

Sun Kissed in Morocco

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Have you ever noticed the specific trees, plants, and flowers used in each of Epcot’s World Showcase pavilions? They are specifically chosen to be true to that country’s landscape. In Morocco you will find palms and fruit trees. Tempting as it may be, fruit picking is not allowed by Guests. They don’t mind being photographed … Continue reading "Sun Kissed in Morocco"

Disney Pic of the Week: World Showcase

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I have enjoyed returning to Epcot’s World Showcase going on 30 years this year. The changes over that time have given the perpetual world’s fair renewed life with grand festivals in the Spring and Fall. Musical entertainment in the pavilions and featured acts on the America Gardens Theater stage throughout the year. And the evolution … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: World Showcase"

It can be disappointing when we walk around a Disney park and there are signs of construction. As much as Disney would love to hide it, when a project as large as … Continue reading "Building a Home for the Beast in Fantasyland"

Dumbo’s New Fantasyland View

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Taking flight on the original Dumbo attraction in it’s new location in Fantasyland gives a completely different perspective, of course. Personally, I think there was more to see before the big move. Eventually I’ll have a go at the second Dumbo attraction and see for myself which elephants got a better deal. Disney Pic of … Continue reading "Dumbo’s New Fantasyland View"

Disney Pic of the Week: Dumbo

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I do not usually partake of the Fantasyland rides. Even when my kids were little, I let Mom do those rides. So, when this topic was proposed by Lisa, I sighed and had every intention of riding Dumbo the Flying Elephant on my very next trip. You know how it goes at Walt Disney World? … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Dumbo"
