Disney Pic of the Week: Benches

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Next to trashcans, benches are very plentiful at Walt Disney World. This is a good thing as anyone who has spent a day walking around a Disney park will testify. Park of the “magic” of Disney is that you will rarely find a bench which is wet. This is because cast members will dry off … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Benches"

Disney Pic of the Week: Cast Costumes Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Not sure if I am supposed to use entertainment Cast Members but I am. Main Street USA is my second favorite place to find, interact and photograph Streetmosphere cast members. You have characters like the Mayor, Town Councilors and, if you are lucky, you can meet a Suffragette (think Mrs. Banks from Mary Poppins). Each … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Cast Costumes Magic Kingdom"

Super Zoom Lens at the Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I have seen a few discussions about what lenses to bring to Walt Disney World lately. I have for years touted the advantages to using Super Zoom lenses at the parks specifically and for travel photography in general. For cropped sensor cameras, they run in the ranges of 18-200mm and even 18-300mm. For full framed … Continue reading "Super Zoom Lens at the Magic Kingdom"

Pic of the Week: Main Street USA

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Walking on Main Street USA takes you back in time. The architecture of the buildings, the background music and the smells coming from the Main Street Bakery. For me though it is just a static set until the cast members make it come alive. The Dapper Dans, a barbershop quartet, sings to guests on Main … Continue reading "Pic of the Week: Main Street USA"

A Day in the Life at the Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Scott Thomas
We all have our own perspectives. Each day we spend in our world which might include family, friends, work or play. When visiting Walt Disney World, it seems the rest of the “real world” disappears for a few days. It is tremendously refreshing to me and I am guessing it is to you, too. After … Continue reading "A Day in the Life at the Magic Kingdom"

I have not waited in line to visit with a Disney character in a long, long time. If one happens to be standing by oneself, I will stop, converse and take a photo or two. There is one which I will wait for…Mickey Mouse at the Town Square Theater on Main Street USA in the … Continue reading "Meeting Talking Mickey Mouse at the Magic Kingdom"

Shopping Around Walt Disney World

Next to dining, my guess would be shopping as the next most popular thing to do at Walt Disney World. This being one week away from Black Friday, America’s day to spend freely for the holiday season, I thought I would share with you a few photos from the shops around the resort. Remember, to … Continue reading "Shopping Around Walt Disney World"

Main Street Electrical Parade Over Time

Posted on by Scott Thomas
There was a late night performance of the Main Street Electrical Parade on my last visit to the Magic Kingdom. The platform overlooking Main Street USA only had a few people so I set up the camera on a tripod to get ready to make a photo I had seen many other photographers do. I … Continue reading "Main Street Electrical Parade Over Time"

Disney Pic of the Week: Fire

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Water is used extensively throughout the Walt Disney World Resort for landscaping, live shows and special effects. Fire, on the otherhand, is used sparingly. I am sure it is for safety reasons but, when fire is used, it tends to be very dramatic. When you frist see the Sleeping Beauty float in the Disney Festival … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Fire"

Scarecrows of Town Square

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Today being Halloween, I thought I would share with you a different angle on the Scarecrows of Town Square. Most people photograph the scarecrows you see upon entering the Magic Kingdom standing up. When you do it that way, you have to be very careful of what is happening in behind the scarecrows. People will … Continue reading "Scarecrows of Town Square"
