Disney Pic of the Week: Magic Kingdom Steam Train

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Walt Disney loved trains so much he built a railroad in his backyard people could ride on. When he designed Disneyland and later the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, he put a railroad in both parks.

Disney Pic of the Week: Friendship Boat on World Showcase Lagoon

Posted on by Scott Thomas
While most people take the Friendship boats to Epcot or Disney’s Hollywood Studios from the Epcot resorts, I have saved wear and tear on my feet by cruising in one across Epcot’s World Showcase Lagoon.

Beauty of Pandora

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Pandora – The World of Avatar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom has so much detail. Especially, the flora (plants). It is sometimes hard to determine what is real and what was created. Really, can you tell?

Disney Pic of the Week: Motor Launch to the Magic Kingdom

I often find myself amazed at how often I ride in a watercraft at Walt Disney World. The Imagineers outdid themselves as they molded the wetlands into waterways to move guests around the resort. Motor Launches travel on the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake transporting people from the Magic Kingdom to all the resorts. … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Motor Launch to the Magic Kingdom"

Photographing Maria and Enzo’s Ristorante at Disney Springs

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Here is another chapter in how I photograph a location. In this one, the location was brand new to me so I had to feel my way along. Maria and Enzo’s Ristorante at Disney Springs has an intriguing backstory.  Set in a 1930’s abandoned airline terminal in a Florida waterfront town, I kept thinking the … Continue reading "Photographing Maria and Enzo’s Ristorante at Disney Springs"
