An Amphicar heads away from the dock on Feb. 4, 2017. They send the vehicles out so folks can see what they can use to tour the waterfront at Disney Springs. I got this shot as we arrived for lunch at The Boathouse. We were at Walt Disney World for a weekend visit when I got the shot.
Here’s another shot of the “ghosts” on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I got the shot March 6, 2017, during our weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
Here’s what a cheapskate does: He takes a photo of the photo that Walt Disney World’s cameras have taken of you on a ride. Guess who I am in this photo-of-a-photo from The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride? Look, go ahead and buy the photo when you’re at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the ride or any of the other parks. Geeze. What a cheapskate! I got my own photo of my photo on March 6, 2017.
The lights of Main Street, U.S.A. were visible in the distance as we traveled the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover during a weekend visit to Walt Disney World on Feb. 4, 2017. We truly enjoy a nice, quiet ride on the PeopleMover at the Magic Kingdom.
The big letters that spell out All-Star Sports at the Disney resort make for interesting photos, and here’s a nighttime take on them. I got this shot May 20, 2017, after we arrived back from the fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom. We were on weekend visit to Walt Disney World when I got the shot.
Happy Independence Day 2017! Today is the Fourth of July and what better photo on my blog than fireworks! Sorry, but this photo of fireworks wasn’t taken on any Fourth, but it is in the spirit of our most precious national holiday. Allison got this great photo on Oct. 16, 2015, during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Of course that’s Cinderella Castle highlighted by the fireworks.
It’s unintentional, but this “Robo-Newz” character near the entrance to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover has an expression that pretty much sums up the news industry today. Although the story in the paper below is about “Stitch” escaping, it should be about the demise of news organizations (I was part of one for 30 years and get sick seeing how my cherished avocation has been sullied from within and without). I got this shot at the Magic Kingdom on May 20, 2017, while we were at on a weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
When you’re on the The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride, you don’t notice that you’re behind the letters of the sign for the “Hollywood Tower Hotel.” You do later, when you look at the photos you took (a somewhat no-no while you’re on the ride, actually). Here’s the view I got on the ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios while we visited Walt Disney World on March 6, 2017.
I like to shoot photos in low-light situations so that I get a blur of color and motion. Here’s a nice one I got as we walked along the path to get on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It should be a Nikon Picture Spot, as I’ve gotten several nice ones here before. We were at Walt Disney World on March 6, 2017, when I got this one.
Here’s a punch that’s not a real punch. Part of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios shows how stunt people fake a punch and its effect. Here’s a three-photo sequence (this is photo 1) where the bad guy throws a punch at “Indy.” The second one shows how his arm isn’t really touching the other actor. I got this shot May 20, 2017, during a weekend visit to Walt Disney World.

I got this shot May 20, 2017, during a weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
I already posted a three-photo sequence of a fake punch during the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. However, here’s “Indy’s” fake punch to the bad guy in the airplane scene at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We were at Walt Disney World on May 20, 2017, when I got this shot.
The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios shows how movies are made. Here’s something that happens at every performance: Guests make their own movies out of a pretend movie being made! I got this shot during a performance on May 20, 2017, during a weekend trip to Walt Disney World.
Here is not a very good photo: The point of focus is the spear; “Indy” is moving and somewhat blured; and a member of the audience has his or her head in the way. However, I like it! It is part of the opening scene of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In this one, “Indy” is avoiding spears that come up from the floor. I got this shot during a performance on May 20, 2017, during a weekend trip to Walt Disney World.
Sorry that’s this photo has “soft focus” (better than saying “not in focus”), but here’s “Buzz Lightyear” during the Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at the Magic Kingdom. I got the shot during our visit to Walt Disney World on Feb. 4, 2017.
It’s sad that Walt Disney World has to set up security towers at its parking lots. However, you’ll find the Disney touch even with these things. Just look, there’s a nice screen around the bottom. Usually, law enforcement just sets the things down, cranks up the tower and starts watching. Well, no one ever said Disney didn’t take pride in the details. We were headed into Disney’s Hollywood Studios when I got this shot on March 6, 2017.
I used my Nikon’s depth of field to make this photo of the straps on a bus at Walt Disney World. We were on a weekend visit when I got the shot on May 20, 2017.
You don’t have to look twice to know this is a photo from that most iconic ride Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. The experience of Space Mountain is total from walking in to leaving. I got this shot Feb. 4, 2017, as we headed onto the ride.
Here’s a view that shows a transportation boat that makes its rounds on the Seven Seas Lagoon at Walt Disney World. It takes passengers between Magic Kingdom and resorts on the lagoon. I got the shot May 20, 2017, during a weekend visit.
Here’s another shot of a helicopter flying over Walt Disney World. I can’t say it’s the same one as I’ve photographed before, but it’s the same style and has the same appearance. I see this type of helicopter every day we’re at the parks. I got this shot May 21, 2017, at Disney Springs. We were on a weekend visit to Walt Disney World when I got the shots.

Fire brings drama and here’s some flames you’ll see during the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. And what else to bring that drama home? A video on your cell phone (notice the one the bottom left of this photo?). I got this shot during a performance on May 20, 2017.
What’s this? Of course it’s a line inside the Toy Story Midway Mania ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but the decoration is something that not everyone recognizes – a View-Master reel! We were at Walt Disney World on May 20, 2017, when I got this shot with my iPhone.
You’re probably too busy bustling from one part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios to another at Walt Disney World to appreciate the quiet serenity that can be found looking at Echo Lake. Take a moment and you’ll enjoy it — and looking at its resident dinosaur Gertie. I got this shot on May 20, 2017.
We returned to Walt Disney World for the fourth month in the first five of 2017 on May 20. I got this shot that morning during Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s the penultimate act in the performance. We hadn’t checked out this show for at least five years, but certainly enjoyed every second of it!
Here’s another shot from a scene during the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In this one, “Indy” is avoiding spears that come up from the floor. I got this shot during a performance on May 20, 2017, during a weekend trip to Walt Disney World.
Although some recent rains are beginning to relieve near-drought conditions across most of Florida, you can see in this shot I got May 21, 2017, of the reduced water level at Disney Springs. The Characters in Flight balloon is in the distance. We were on a weekend visit to Walt Disney World when I got the shot.
Know the name of this spot at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? It’s Oscar’s Super Service and you can rent strollers, wheelchairs or scooters. It’s an homage to full-service stations that once were common across the U.S. I got this shot on May 20, 2017, during a weekend trip to Walt Disney World.
I really like to take photos of the monorail. Here’s another as the monorail passes above the Coral Reef restaurant at EPCOT. I got the shot March 5, 2017, before we headed over to hear Dennis DeYoung of Styx fame in the Garden Rocks Concert Series 2017. We were at Walt Disney World for a long weekend.
The setting sun’s rays illuminated some clouds and provides a dramatic focal point for this photo I took from the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at the Magic Kingdom. Of course the focal point should be the Cinderella Castle, but with nighttime approaching the clouds still catch your eye. I got the shot when we visited Walt Disney World on May 20, 2017.
I love Star Wars, but I’m not totally enamored with how Walt Disney World is going totally ga-ga over it at Hollywood Studios. I got this shot May 20, 2017, of R2-D2 and C3PO at the stage show where the signature wizard’s hat used to define the park. Well, I guess I can say it’s Star Wars and not something else.
Here’s one of the reasons our daughter remains a big fan of Walt Disney World: Encounters such as this with characters. I got this shot nearly 13 years ago in July 2004 as a Minnie character greeted our daughter. It was taken at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Here’s a close-up of an Amphicar that I got on Feb. 4, 2017, as we arrived for lunch at The Boathouse. Amphicars launch from right next to the restaurant at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World.
I hope you enjoy your May the Fourth day! If I have to explain what today means on May 4, 2017, then it really wouldn’t matter. I guess the Empire wouldn’t be happy with its storm troopers at the attraction or having guests laugh behind their backs! I got this shot Feb. 6, 2016, during one of our numerous visits to Walt Disney World as a couple of storm trooper characters “interrogated” guests. It’s near the Star Wars Launch Bay at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Quick! What’s the name of this towering dinosaur at Echo Lake at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? Give up? It’s Dinosaur Gertie and it is the image for Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction shop near the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. It’s not a name that jumps to the front of your mind when you think of Disney characters! I got the shot when we visited Walt Disney World on May 20, 2017.
Our daughter hates that the nightly fireworks show “Wishes” has ended at the Magic Kingdom. It has been replaced by Happily Ever After fireworks and light show. Allison is the fireworks photographer in the family, but I got this one on May 20, 2017, during our first viewing of the new show. My shot is shaky and there’s a tree partially blocking the view of Cinderella Castle, but it’s OK. We were doing a quick overnight stay at Walt Disney World this past weekend.
Here’s another shot I got of the fireworks going off March 4, 2017, at the Magic Kingdom. I got interesting shots of the fireworks because were at the park’s bus depot, heading back to Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside resort. We were back at Walt Disney World for a long weekend and the beginning of the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival.
Although you might make fun of people using helicopters to travel at Walt Disney World, it’s easy to see why when you realize the size of the entire property. I don’t know if this is a Disney chopper ferrying executives, but we see this style of small helicopter every day that we are at Disney. I got this shot Feb. 4, 2017, while walking around Disney Springs.
The bird on top of this post at Disney Springs obviously isn’t interested in the Characters in Flight balloon in the distance. I got the shot Feb. 4, 2017, as we had lunch at The Boathouse restaurant at Walt Disney World.
I’m posting another photo from behind the big letters at the front of Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort. It’s the view you can see as you walk to your bus stop for transportation to the parks. We were at Walt Disney World on Feb. 4, 2017, when I got this shot.
Here’s a shot down Main Street, U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom. I got it Feb. 4, 2017. It has everything you think of when you think Walt Disney World: the iconic Cinderella Castle, balloons and the wonderful lighting of nighttime at Disney.
We were leaving the Resort Monorail station at the Magic Kingdom on Feb. 4, 2017, when I got this shot of a bus driver walking around his vehicle. I can’t tell to which resort it was headed (the bus’ front display still says Magic Kingdom), but since the stop is at a remote part of the transportation area, it must have been one of the value resorts! We were at Walt Disney World for the weekend and headed to dinner at the Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
I got this shot of a train arriving at the Resort Monorail station at the Magic Kingdom on Feb. 4, 2017. We were at Walt Disney World for the weekend and headed to dinner at the Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort when I got the shot.
We’ll be back at Walt Disney World today! Yes, our … hmmm, can’t remember how many trips this year. We’ll be on this ride soon enough: The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. The ride is one of my favorite places to take photographs. I got this one on the evening of Feb. 4, 2017, as we were at Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom.
Here’s yet another shot showing cranes over Walt Disney World. With all the construction at all the parks and resorts, you can’t miss all the cranes. You can see two here at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May May 20, 2017, looking across Echo Lake.
What’s behind the scene on a movie set? Well, if you go to the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World, you’ll see one set wheeled away the other appear behind it. Here’s a shot I got during a performance on May 20, 2017, as “extras” were introduced and the first set wheeled away. The next scene’s set can be seen beginning to appear in the background.
The Art Deco architecture is evident even as you arrive at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Here’s the view as we arrived at the park at Walt Disney World on May 20, 2017. We took the tram because we parked there upon arrival for a weekend trip. We usually use Disney transportation, but instead headed straight to the park instead of our resort.
I just posted a photo of the Mickey Mouse power line tower near Interstate 4 outside of Walt Disney World. We were returning home May 21, 2017, after a weekend visit when I got this shot. I like seeing it as we arrive and don’t like it when we leave. Still, it is an icon and we can’t wait to see it each time we come (and go).
Even the lights above are neat at the Toy Story Mania! ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We were at Walt Disney World on May 20, 2017, when I got this shot.
The spectacle of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular isn’t just when a jeep turns over and burns or the fiery climax to the show, but you see it when the airplane comes around the corner. It’s a neat sight at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We were at Walt Disney World on May 20, 2017, when I got this shot.
It’s almost always a sunny day in Hollywood … Disney’s Hollywood Studios, that is! The sun was up when we arrived on May 20, 2017. We were at Walt Disney World for a weekend visit when I got this shot.
Ah, it’s a beautiful sight when you ride in on the tram to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We know we’re headed there and it’s nice to see the Hollywood Tower Hotel at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. I got the shot as we arrived May 20, 2017, for a weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
OK, I take my tchotchkes from Walt Disney World very seriously. I use one of their pens – I get them whenever we stay at a resort – at my office here in Naples, Fla. Here’s my current pen on my keyboard on June 8, 2017.
It’s not a great shot, but here’s a photo showing the simply stupendous sunset we viewed while on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover on May 20, 2017. I wish we had a view of the whole thing! We were at the Magic Kingdom during a weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
Walking into the Magic Kingdom in the very late afternoon from the bus depot always allows for a nice shot of the sun and clouds. Here’s the one I got May 20, 2017, during our weekend visit to Walt Disney World. You’ll also always find an Orange County Sheriff’s Department cruiser parked there, too.
Guess what’s on the small sign on this goal post at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort? What else? A warning about not climbing on the goal post. I got this shot May 20, 2017, during our weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney World is always evolving its security. In order to more efficiently get guests to the parks, searches have now expanded so that there’s not such a big bottleneck at the front of the Magic Kingdom. For example, guests staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa get searched before boarding the resort monorail and then they can go straight to the entrance to the Magic Kingdom. I got this shot on May 20, 2017, on the Grand Floridian’s monorail platform.
Here’s a photo of a portion of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa as we rode the resort monorail to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. I got the shot May 20, 2017, in the late afternoon when the sun’s rays light up the buildings perfectly. You can see the Contemporary Resort in the background.
Put fireworks together with a slow shutter speed and moving your Nikon and this is what you get: A nice swirl of light that is the new Happily Ever After fireworks and light show at the Magic Kingdom. Here is one of the shots I got on May 20, 2017, during our first viewing of the new show on a quick overnight stay weekend at Walt Disney World.
Here’s a close-up of the band performing for guests in the lobby of and shopping at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The live music is an essential part of the resort’s ambience. We were at Walt Disney World on May 20, 2017, when I got the shot.
Walt Disney World hasn’t forgotten about the Zika virus. They provide insect repellent (read: mosquito) for guests and cast members at more than just the parks. Here’s a shot of the can of Cutter Backwoods that was in our room at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort. I got this shot on May 21, 2017.
Walt Disney World is known for its crowds, but you can always find a moment of solitude with a great view. Here’s a mini-“lake” at Disney Springs that provides a serene view. I got this shot on May 21, 2017, on that quiet Sunday morning.
I was waiting for my family when I got this shot May 21, 2017, at Disney Springs. The neat lettering reflects the attention to detail that is a hallmark of Walt Disney World. In case you can’t read the words, it is Lime Garage (where we parked, of course). We were visiting for a weekend and Disney Springs was our last stop for lunch before heading home.
I had just filled up our SUV’s gas tank and was headed to Disney Springs when I spied the The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. It’s neat to see such landmarks as you drive on the Disney property. I got this shot on May 21, 2017, near the end of a weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
Here comes a Resort monorail train to the station at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. I like taking photographs of monorail trains. Heck, I’ve taken photos of the empty rail. I got this shot May 20, 2017, during a weekend visit.
Here’s another shot of the elegant lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Of course, there’s no wonder it’s called the Grand Floridian. I got this shot May 20, 2017, during a weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
If you want to find out what’s behind some of those screens that obviously hide stuff at Walt Disney World, just get above them! We were on the Resort Monorail on May 20, 2017, when I got this shot above Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Of course the screens were just hiding an air conditioning or electrical facility!
You can see the crowd gathering at The Hub for the nightly fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom as we ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. Cinderella Castle is off to the right. The blur of the photo shows that we were moving along at Walt Disney World on May 20, 2017, when I got this shot.
The distinctive shape of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room looms above the early-evening traffic in Adventureland on March 4, 2017. I got this shot before dinner at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. This is the first posting of a photo of the Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room on my blog. For whatever reason, except for Pirates of the Caribbean, Adventureland isn’t a big draw for us.
July 4 is our nation’s Independence Day. There’s nothing more iconic than the Stars and Stripes. You’ll find them everywhere at Walt Disney World, and a whole bunch are on Main Street, U.S.A. The setting sun’s rays cast a nice glow on the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor at the Magic Kingdom and you’ll find a flag at the top. However, look close. To avoid having to take down the flags each night or illuminate them, WDW has adjusted the flags so they are not “official” U.S. flags – they don’t have the proper number of stars! I got this photo on May 20, 2017.
You can never take enough photos of Cinderella Castle. Here’s one I got March 4, 2017, with the setting sun’s rays giving it some more warmth. We were headed to dinner at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World when I snagged this one.
It’s not the most exhilarating ride at Walt Disney World, but I always make sure to catch Living with the Land at EPCOT. It’s fun, entertaining and educational. Here’s a shot I got March 5, 2017, and it shows Nutrient Film Technique farming.
I like so-called “detail” photos. Here’s one of one of the old-fashioned traffic signals on Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Sunset Boulevard intersects with Gower Street, in case you’re interested or can’t see it in the photo. We were at Walt Disney World on March 6, 2017, when I got this shot.
Here’s another shot from Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I took the photo during the show on March 6, 2017, while we were at Walt Disney World for a long weekend.
You never have to look far for a snack at Walt Disney World. You can see the ice cream vendor in the lee of this wall with The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in the background at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I took the photo on March 6, 2017.
I call the fireworks photos by Allison the “tree branch series.” A tree branch can be seen in each one. Allison took them during IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth on March 3, 2017, at EPCOT. Allison got this shot while we were at Walt Disney World for a long weekend.
I have an endless fascination with blurs in photos and Walt Disney World offer a lot of chances to take this kind of photograph. Here’s yet another from the Spaceship Earth ride at EPCOT. The overall darkness and spotlights on the animatronics make it all happen. I got the shot on Feb. 5, 2017.
Today I’m posting two more photos I took at Disney Springs on Feb. 4, 2017. This is one. We were on a weekend trip to Walt Disney World and I was sitting near a stage near the lake and took shots of birds gliding overhead. Here are two more of a hawk.

One of the best stage shows at Walt Disney World is Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I got this shot of Lumière during our visit March 6, 2017.
Here’s a shot of the cast member singing while playing “Belle” during a presentation of Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I got this shot at Walt Disney World during our visit March 6, 2017.
Parking garages are literally big at Disney Springs. As an alumnus of the University of Florida, I’d like to park at the Orange Garage (shown here). However, we usually park at the Lime Garage because of its location to our most-visited parts of Disney Springs. I got this shot at Walt Disney World during our visit May 21, 2017.
What’s this? Here’s something electronic – or electric – tucked behind furniture at our room at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort . What is it? If I was paranoid, I might have checked it out more closely. I didn’t. I just took this photo. I got the shot March 6, 2017, during a weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
I like a blur of motion and color in dark spots and you get plenty of opportunity to photograph them while you’re on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Here’s another I got March 6, 2017, during our weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
This photo shows a group of riders who just got wet on Splash Mountain. It’s a wonderful ride on hot, sunny day like this one I took on Aug. 17, 2016. If it was in February, it would be a different story. We were at Walt Disney World for a long weekend when I got this shot at the Magic Kingdom.
Cast members playing “Indy” and “Marion” are shown here in a scene from the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I got this shot during a performance on May 20, 2017, during a weekend trip to Walt Disney World.
No one stepped on this duck! OK, so the reference to “Caddyshack” doesn’t apply at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but I couldn’t resist since I’m posting this photo of a duck on Echo Lake. I got the shot on May 20, 2017, during a weekend trip to Walt Disney World.
Early evening brought a chance to make this shaky photo of an entrance to Tomorrowland a winner. OK, so it’s not great, but the low light and colors allow the photo appear to have “movement.” I got the shot Feb. 4, 2017, while we were at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World during a weekend visit.
Walt Disney World gets cute with the messages running across their buses. You don’t need to be a genius to know that your bus is headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park when you see “Hakuna Matata” on it. I got this shot at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort on Feb. 4, 2017.
We really like Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It was the best stage show at Walt Disney World until the debut of the Festival of the Lion King show at Animal Kingdom. I took this photo during Beauty and the Beast on March 6, 2017, while we were at Walt Disney World for a long weekend.
Lonely isn’t a word much used at Walt Disney World. It’s more known for crowds and crowding. Still, you’ll find moments of almost-solitude – even at the transportation hubs. Here’s a lone bus making its way out of the Magic Kingdom on Feb. 4, 2017. Look close, you won’t find anything else! We were leaving the Resort Monorail when I got this shot. We were at Walt Disney World for the weekend and headed to dinner at the Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Here is a close-up of the mailboxes at the Echo Lake Apartments near the 50’s Prime Time Café at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. They’re not real apartments and the names are an homage to some Disney Imagineers (click the apartments link to find out the full story). I got the shot March 4, 2017, while we were at Walt Disney World for a long weekend.
The setting sun on May 20, 2017, cast a nice light on the sign above the entrance to Casey’s Corner along Main Street, U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom. We were at Walt Disney World for a weekend visit when I got this shot.
Here’s a shot of the boathouse extending onto the Seven Seas Lagoon from Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. I took the photo on May 20, 2017, during our weekend visit to Walt Disney World.
It was a brisk and somewhat nasty morning at the Magic Kingdom on Feb. 7, 2016, during a long weekend visit to Walt Disney World when I got this photo. Cinderella Castle is simply the most-photographed spot at WDW. So, I was doing my share! I pulled this one off my iPhone for today’s blog post.
A GATOR IN NAPLES
