Strike Up The Band!

Fall Decorations
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World

Last year was the start of a whirlwind adventure between me and Walt Disney World. It started with the PhotoMagic meet in October, a few trips in the spring and was going to end with the Pixelmania meet this October. To be fair I didn’t really plan it that way but when the Pixelmania meet was scheduled I had hoped it would be the perfect end cap to my year. I will not be able to make it down this month but going over last year’s pictures reminded me how much I enjoy the Fall/Halloween season at Disney. I’m just going to have to plan better for next year… 🙂

Around the Boardwalk

Keeping with my Photo Hunt theme and trying to hold off the excitement of leaving for my happy place in nine days, here are a few images around Disney’s Boardwalk area. The Boardwalk is not only a resort nestled on Crescent Lake next to Epcot it is a destination unto itself. Whenever I stay at a resort around the lake I spend a considerable amount of time exploring and enjoying this area. It is a great place to go for a walk in the early morning or late evening.  Although I will not be staying at any of the resorts here this visit, I always make a trip over to relax and escape the people in the parks…

Dead Men Tell No Tales

My first night in Disney was a flurry of running around the Magic Kingdom. The park was open until 1am and I walked through the gates around 10pm. There were a lot of night images I had in my head that I wanted to capture. This image out in front of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction was near the top of the list. I had tried to capture this on previous trips but the process to do it properly had eluded me. With the new techniques I had learned in the year since my previous visit and some added patience I was hopeful I would be able to do it justice.
