New Space Mountain Sound System

This is a welcome change and adds … Continue reading "Space Mountain Reopens"

In Camera Cropping

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Many times I have taken a photo which looked good in the viewfinder but, when reviewing it in the camera’s LCD display, not so much. It happens when I am not careful and forget to look around the edges before pressing the shutter release. In the photo below I was intent on Space Mountain before … Continue reading "In Camera Cropping"

Magic Kingdom Skyway

Posted on by Jack Spence
After I published my blog about the demolition of the Tomorrowland Skyway Station, one of my readers wrote and asked me to write a blog about this defunct attraction. I don’t usually take requests for articles, but I felt that this was timely subject matter and decided to go for it. The first Disney Skyway … Continue reading "Magic Kingdom Skyway"

Disneyland Paris – Discoveryland — Part 3 — Space Mountain: Mission 2 and Les Mystéres du Nautilus

Posted on by Jack Spence
Space Mountain: Mission 2 Once again, I have to say that Disneyland Paris takes first prize when comparing one of its attractions to its overseas cousins.

Tomorrowland – Tokyo Disneyland

Posted on by Jack Spence
Much of the architecture of Tokyo’s Tomorrowland is stuck in the 80’s. Actually, it’s stuck in the 70’s as it was copied after the Magic Kingdom at WDW – which was designed in the ’60’s. In other words, there are areas here that could definitely use a face lift like they did to the Tomorrowlands … Continue reading "Tomorrowland – Tokyo Disneyland"
