A long lost family member has returned to Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion. An original resident of the mansion, the Hatbox Ghost disappeared for years until the world, and technology, caught up with his vision.

Two pirates take an extended break in the “Crew’s Quarters” lying deep within the dark and eerie “Grotto of Lost Souls” at Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean.

As you glide down the Pirates of the Carribean ride in New Orleans Square, you’ll hear the chants of “We wants the redhead! We wants the redhead!” The scumbag pirates are waiting in line to bid on captured women, and this particular redhead happens to be catching their fancy.

The Courtyard of Angels is one of Disneyland’s hidden gems. It is tucked away in the back corner of New Orleans Square and is full of beautiful details and is extremely photogenic. For this shot, I chose to take a few steps backwards out of the courtyard to also capture the wrought iron gates that […]
