Old Key West Resort, Walt Disney World
I suppose I should give everyone a warning now… I am 26 days away from a vacation to Florida so my posts until I leave might be overwhelmed with images of Disney or the Florida coast. I am also going through my Disney directories, collecting and/or creating a series of black & white images in the hopes of making a book as a personal project. I’ll try not to be too obnoxious about it. 🙂
In March 2014 I broke out of a rut and booked a stay at the Old Key West resort. It is the first vacation club resort created by Disney and I had always read great reviews. Other than being very spread out and requiring transportation within the resort I enjoyed my stay a lot. As with every Disney resort there were plenty of opportunities for me to capture great images. These are a few of the ‘keepers’ which I thought worked well as B&W images.

I am always looking for new ways to photograph the parks when I visit Walt Disney World. I’m not sure I would have ‘seen’ this image if my friend Joanie hadn’t been helping me ‘see’ unique patterns in a few of my latest images. With those other images I have been cropping out a section of a much larger image to create the pattern image.
This image isn’t exactly the same as the images I have been creating (a post will follow soon), but the interesting view is a result of my recent ‘training’. For this image I specifically captured what I wanted to create. This is what I imagine a peek through the looking glass would be like…

The Magic Kingdom
Train Station, Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World
Last week I drove my mother-in-law back to Florida. It was an extended weekend for me as we left on Wednesday, arrived on Thursday and I flew back on Sunday. The tropical storm/hurricane/strong winds with rain that was/is Hermine had a minimal impact on central Florida which was lucky for us as there was some work to be done opening up her place. We did drive through some rain in Georgia ahead of the storm making landfall and each day I was in Florida there was some rain but to me that always happens. The rain never seems to last very long.
Even though the forecast was for thunder showers most of the day Saturday I took a chance and drove over to the Magic Kingdom. It had been almost a year since my last visit to the first Walt Disney World park and I wanted to spend a lazy day walking around the kingdom. The crowds were a little more than I had hoped for but not as bad as they could have been for a holiday weekend. We also got an early afternoon shower but I was prepared with my poncho and a little water never hurt me.
My original plan was to stay into the early evening since the park was open until 1am but the heat of the day and the prospect of driving back to the east coast only to drive back to the Orlando airport early the next day had me exiting the park unusually early. As luck would have it the area in front of the train station was completely empty as I worked my way to the exit so I naturally had to grab a few images.
