Photography Tips

A few friendly tips (and slightly humorous pictorial reminders) before you start your safari trek...

Zanzibar Trading Co.

In Adventureland the Zanzibar Trading Company has a great sign. At first you might think it is just another sign but look in the lower left corner. There are sailing ships that can actually "sail" around the ocean. A very nice interactive touch...

Welcome to Palua

If you look up when in the Samoa Snacks at the Polynesian Resort you'll see the coolers are ready to be hoisted up and away at the Palua inspection area...

A living roof

Spring is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than to go work in the yard? Maybe fix up some landscaping, plant some flowers, or in the case at the Norway pavilion - plant the roof. This green roof is over the outdoor eating area for the Kringla Cafe in Norway, it is an old idea that fits very well with today's "green" awareness... Just think - more shade, cleaner air, some flowers, and some tasty food from the cafe. What's not to like?

Let the good times roll...

It's Fat Tuesday and you know what that means, it is time to party it up! And no place parties quite like New Orleans - so it figures that New Orleans Square is also quite the place to get your fill of the festive feel... And yes, this was during the Christmas season - but they decorate it enough to be either holiday!

Desktop: Laid back in the Big Easy

Mardi Gras is in full swing, Fat Tuesday is tomorrow, and this week we're going to relax in the Big Easy. Well, actually we're in closest place to being there with out actually being there and that means only one thing - Port Orleans! With its extremely authentic details from narrow roads and sidewalks to the fountains and flowering trees and all around laid back yet festive atmosphere there is little reason to wonder why this is such a popular resort...

Frozen Pretzels and Warm Lemonade

Wait, that can't be right... Ahh - Frozen Lemonade and Warm Pretzels - much better. This sign is on a cart in Asia for all those hungry, weary travelers...

A sweet sign

This sign for the Main Street Confectionery hangs right on Main Street (of course) and looks sharp after dark as we wait for the night's performance of Wishes. And of course the sweet smells are wafting out making all of us on the street have a hankering for a bite to eat...

House of the Future

The House of the Future is a Disneyland classic that, while the concept has been recreated in Innoventions, has never been repeated. The all-plastic, all-synthetic house was all the rage back in the day but now is simply remembered by a banner on Innoventions...

Impressions de France

If you look to the left as you are about to entire the Palais de Cinema you'll find a film poster for the very movie you are about to watch. It is in plain sight but not really in the obvious line of sight and is easy to walk right by...
