Nights, Lights and Reflections

I was feeling a little homesick, well, more accurately second homesick, so I decided to look through my unprocessed Disney images. What can I say, this is me…

In recent years my visiting habits have changed dramatically. I am no longer in a rush to see and do everything. I have slowed down and taken the time to enjoy all the little details that are prevalent in the parks. Amazingly some of the best detail and atmosphere can be enjoyed at the resorts themselves.

I fell in love with the resorts around Crescent Lake a few years ago. The area “behind” Epcot is my favorite quiet spot in Walt Disney World. This prompted me to purchase my vacation club points at the Beach Club Villas. I know, I’m spoiled. The ability to take a leisurely walk around the lake or have two parks within walking distance does have its advantages. I’m a morning person and most days will be up and out of the room before sunrise. This allows for some great photography. On my most recent trip, sadly almost 9 months ago, I was able to capture some early morning images of the Boardwalk with great reflections in Crescent Lake.

  1. Can you believe I’ve never been to Walt Disney World ? It looks so beautiful…
    These two images are fantastic, beautiful reflections.

    • I tell people you might go for your kids but you will stay for yourself. I fell in love with the place back in 2003 after bringing the kids down. I hadn’t been in almost 25 years. Now I go back every year and most of the time it is just to ‘soak’ in the atmosphere. Thanks Jocelyne!
