Wish for Tomorrow
International Flower & Garden Festival
Epcot, Walt Disney World
Next to the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot, before the Donald Duck meet & greet area, is a pathway to the side entrance of the pyramid. Along this path you can find a variety of Orchids. In the Spring during the Flower & Garden Festival is your best opportunity. Once I found this area I make a point to return every visit to see what flowers are available. I can always find a beautiful subject for my camera…

Tree of Life
Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World
As much as I wanted to stay in bed, I knew my opportunity for early morning pics at the Animal Kingdom park would be worth dragging my butt out into the day. The park has been having Extra Magic Hours one hour before the normal park opening. Anyone staying at a WDW resort can enter the park during the extra time.
Either, not many people were taking advantage of this hour or I was incredibly lucky. I arrived right at 8am, and was through security and into the park by 8:05am. I ran around Discovery Island, as the majority of guests scrambled to Pandora and the Flight of Passage ride, grabbing as many images as I could with barely another person in sight. It was glorious…

Figment Garden
International Flower & Garden Festival, Epcot
I spent a beautiful Monday running around Epcot during the International Flower & Garden Festival. I think I walked around World Showcase at least three complete times. I was smart and brought my 60mm macro lens. I had such a great time photographing the flowers. The colors were really “popping” yesterday.
My original plan was to post a picture from the entrance to the park. There is always a wonderful topiary display there and with Spaceship Earth in the background it ends up being a great image. I forgot how busy that area can be, especially in the mornings. Plus, I’m not positive everyone understands how to wait their turn for a photo opportunity. I’ll be going back to Epcot so maybe the next visit I’ll find that picture.
I did find Figment at the opposite location to the entrance. There is always a corresponding topiary display “behind” Spaceship Earth and the Fountain of Nations. This year the topiary was Figment from the Imagination Pavilion. This display is never as busy, or maybe by the time most people get to this location they have figured out how to share…

Everest
Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World
One of my favorite views at Animal Kingdom! This one is from a early Spring trip in 2014. I originally used this image to create one of my Painted Disney images. I zoomed in a little via a tighter crop and reprocessed everything as I would today. I’m looking forward to this view in a couple of weeks.
