Spaceship Earth as seen from Epcot’s World Showcase.Nikon D700/28-300VR, … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Epcot"

Disney Pic of the Week: Paradise Pier

Posted on by Scott Thomas
The Paradise Pier area of Disney’s California Adventure reminded me of the New Jersey Shore boardwalks. Which is exactly what Disney wants you to think of Paradise Pier. The attractions, however, are most definitely Disney. Disney even added a little gem and gave the water fountains for World of Color something to do during the … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Paradise Pier"

Disney Pic of the Week: Waterfalls

Dumbo’s New Fantasyland View

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Taking flight on the original Dumbo attraction in it’s new location in Fantasyland gives a completely different perspective, of course. Personally, I think there was more to see before the big move. Eventually I’ll have a go at the second Dumbo attraction and see for myself which elephants got a better deal. Disney Pic of … Continue reading "Dumbo’s New Fantasyland View"

Photographing Walt Disney World Resorts from the Water

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Of all the forms of transportation at Walt Disney World, I enjoy the water transportation the most. You can choose to be in open air or inside comfort, they do not move too fast and there is something about being on the water which is relaxing to me. It is also a good time to … Continue reading "Photographing Walt Disney World Resorts from the Water"
