Disney Pic of the Week: Favorite Holiday Entertainment

Posted on by Scott Thomas
When I was at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party earlier this month, I enjoyed a new a cappella group for the first time. Voiceplay performed on the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland and sang traditional and non-tradtional Christmas songs. To hear them perform a mashup of several Christmas favorites was both funny and totally awesome. … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Favorite Holiday Entertainment"

Adjusting White Balance Inside the American Adventure

Posted on by Scott Thomas
One of my favorite entertainers is the Voices of Liberty a cappella group at Walt Disney World. They perform shows inside the American Adventure under the rotunda at Epcoot’s World Showcase. The area was designed for the acoustics and the talented singers take full advantage of them. But (isn’t there always one?), the lighting for … Continue reading "Adjusting White Balance Inside the American Adventure"
