Have you been to the Dinoland Boneyard? The story of Dinoland USA is one of my favorites. This little section of Dinoland is designed for small children to get out their pent up energy from waiting in line or waiting for their parents to get ride a ride because they were too small or even […]

The Festival of the Lion King has moved to a new home in Harambe Village, and the whole area is to my mind a great improvement over the old Camp Minnie-Mickey layout.

My single favorite ride in Walt Disney World is Expedition Everest. From the amazing queue area to the thrill of the ride, nothing tops it for me. The buildup to the Yeti starts back in the queue and does not disappoint when we find him. When we see this image we find out what happened to […]

The walkway near the Yeti Palace Hotel can be busy with foot traffic but using a very slow shutter speed will result in an interesting ghosting effect of the guests walking by in addition to […]

Unfortunately with all of the construction going on right now at the Animal Kingdom, the front view of the Tree is not so good. Luckily the views from the other side are just as good. I love how The Tree of Life fits in with all of the real trees around it, yet still stands […]
