Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Photography Expedition at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I called this an expedition because any time I visit a new Disney property (park, ship, or land), I feel like I am going on one. I researched the location thoroughly, looked at many photos from others on social media, and figured out the equipment I wanted to use.

Last week, I shared wide-angle views of Walt Disney World queues. Disney Imagineers are known for their attention to detail. Ride queues are no different and are full of great details. In the standby queue of the Enchanted Tales with Belle in Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom, I spotted a familiar pottery set on the shelf … Continue reading "Walt Disney World Queue Photography Part 2"

Walt Disney World Queue Photography Part 1

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Ride queues at Walt Disney World have gotten very creative and, in some cases, interactive over the years. They serve not only to hold a long line of quests waiting to board rides but to build onto the story or prepare people for what is to come.

Along the queue to Expedition EVEREST in Disney’s Animal Kingdom you can learn about the Lost Expedition and mysterious Yeti.
