Monorail Monday: Resort Monorail – Teal
Monorail Monday
On my last trip to Walt Disney World I discovered the joy of going to the parks lite. There were numerous times I just grabbed the camera, a single lens and headed out for adventure. No long lines to have my bag checked by security. No worrying if the backpack will fit in a locker along with the tripod and everything else I normally haul into a park. It was a game changer for me.
This image of the Monorail Teal leaving the Magic Kingdom station is a result of that lite mode of operation. I had the camera on its strap and as soon as I noticed the monorail leaving the station as I was walking up to the park entranced I started firing away. Normally the camera would still have been its backpack for the eventual search at bag check.
Painted Cottage
Painted Disney
It has been quite a while since I converted one of my images to look like a painting. I was working on this image of the cottage from the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride in Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom and thought it would look could if I applied the painted look. I do like how it turned out. I sometimes get caught up in presenting a photograph, I forget to let the creative side come out and play… 🙂

Sunrise on the Village
Harambe Village, Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World
I’ll be staying in the Animal Kingdom today. There has been some great activity at this park over the past few years, some subtle changes and also a big expansion. Disney made a deal with James Cameron to bring an Avatar related area to the park and this required moving the Festival of the Lion King show.
Keeping with the theme of the Lion King Disney expanded the village of Harambe in the Africa area of the park and created a new show building for the festival. Now as you cross the bridge from Discovery Island into Harambe this is the view of the new area. I love getting to the park early so I can enjoy the sunrise.
