Nostalgia
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World
I’m two weeks away from my next trip to Walt Disney World. This is typically when I start looking through old images and thinking about what I want to capture during my next visit. There has been a lot of news from Disney regarding the changes throughout the theme parks, with a lot happening in Walt Disney World. The Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island will be replaced by a Cars themed area. So, here is the Liberty Belle in all her glory, cruising through Frontierland…

There are numerous ways to get to the Magic Kingdom while at Walt Disney World. One of my favorites is to ride the ferry from the Ticket and Transportation Center across the Seven Seas Lagoon. Come on! Let’s go…

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World
Tuesday night I attended Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. The park closes at 6pm and the party gets rolling at 7pm. There are character greets, special treats, entertainment, access to a majority of the rides and a Halloween parade.
It was definitely more crowded then I remember. We went a couple of times to the party years ago but I don’t recall the park feeling so packed as it was Tuesday night. It could be my memory playing tricks on me though…
I do remember why I’m not exactly a fan of these parties. Wow! do you need to wait in a lot of lines. Now, don’t get me wrong, the lines for most of the rides are short. You can practically walk on every ride (except for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train). The lines I’m speaking of were for the candy stations and the character meet-n-greets. I get the characters, some of them only appear in the park during the party, but for candy? As my daughter told me, what is Halloween for except for the candy… ha
And you can forget about the parade. People start standing/sitting in their spot for the parade up to sixty minutes before the start. I wasn’t going to waste all my time at this event standing around and waiting. I did watch part of the parade as I was going to my next ride. It hasn’t really changed.
I wanted to photograph the Hocus Pocus Villian Spelltacular show on the center stage in front of the castle. I arrived 40 minutes before the start and the closest point for me was near the curb of the hub. It wasn’t a bad spot as it is a high point and I was able to easily shoot with my camera over every ones head. Of course, I only brought my 50mm lens (because it is a f/1.8 lens) so my images are not as close as I would have liked. The other shows throughout the night were just as bad (even the midnight show was packed!).
I had a good time. I was able to get a few good images. Will I go again? Probably not.
