The Haunted Garden

This is a good example of the cool “line areas” of Disneyworld. They put as much thought into the lines as the do the actual rides themselves. This is the middle part of the line of the Twilight Zone Haunted Hotel ride… it was also very nice that we were the only ones on the ride so we got to take our time and look at all the cool decor.

The Royal Anandapur Tea Company

For some reason this tea looks really good, even though most teas taste the same to me.

Elephant Reflections

We found this guy in a perfect reflection pose in the Animal Kingdom. Ethan and I were about to jump out of the jeep to go over and saw off his ivory tusks so we could make some new silverware, but we thought that might be in bad taste.

I thought the textures in the sky and the tower here were kinda nice so I got this shot.

Amazing Fireworks at Disney World

This night was a special night for sure because Ethan lost his first tooth.  It was also  his first time ever at Disney World and the first time to see the fireworks, so it was sort of a perfect storm of magic.

He was very nervous about me pulling out the tooth, so five minutes before the show, I told him the magic of Disney would help me with the extraction.  We both have a bit of wizard in us, anyway, he responded.  I pulled it out and he was shocked… then just sat in awe to watch the fireworks while his dad fired away with the camera.

I took a lot of great shots of the fireworks show.  It was tough to pick a favorite… but this one was right up there.  I hope you enjoy it.

The Main Street Confectionery

You can’t go wrong with Disney’s main street at night, can you? It’s okay to forgo the extra calories with all that walking… at least that what I kept telling myself.

Also, I didn’t realize before going that the castle changes color every few minutes with tons of different lighting configurations. You can see the warm orange colors in the large version below.

The Scary Apothecary

This is a tiny theater-shaped building that actually is a dessert shot in MGM Studios that is lit well in the evening. It’s called the Scary Apothecary, but the only thing scary about it is the delish calories.

Castle Reflections

I spent a lot of time outside of bathrooms wandering around with my camera. I ended up on this not-oft-visited side of the Disney Castle.  I wonder if they have secret rooms at the top of the castle with high-speed internet.  If I ran Disney, I would put my most creative people in the top of those spires in cool little offices and equip them with crossbows and burning pitch just in case.
