We had a pretty terrible vantage point for Fantasmic while at Disneyland, back in October. The crowds there over our 3 day stay really caught us all off guard, as they were terrible as well, but with the help of the 70-200mm f/2.8, I was able to come up with this interesting piece.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

While staying off site is definitely cheaper at Disneyland, views like this make it hard to resist staying on property. I had the pleasure of staying at the Grand Californian while at Disneyland a couple of months ago, and I have to say that while it was expensive, it was definitely a great experience, especially for my first visit. This particular morning, I was up way before the rest of my party, due to the fact that it takes me 45 years to get ready, and I noticed the sunrise peeking through the blinds. After finally figuring out how to open the confangled balcony door, all while trying to keep quiet mind you, I got to see this beautiful sunrise over the parks. Yes, I overcooked this one a bit, but I wanted it to look more like what my eyes saw that morning. And the moral of this story is, sometimes it pays to take forever getting ready.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I love WDW at Christmas time. It's my absolute favorite time of year to go, and it never disappoints. This past trip was my first to experience Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, and needless to say we had a blast. There's nothing quite like seeing the Christmas parade and taking in all that the Magic Kingdom has to offer. This particular shot was taken while we were waiting around for the parade eating our cookies and drinking hot chocolate. Yep, it was as awesome as it sounds (: This ones not quite as sharp as I'd like it to be, but you win some you lose some. Thanks for looking, and have a wonderful day!

We got to visit the Grand Floridian a couple of times during our recent trip, and I found it impossible not to get caught up in Christmas while walking around the lobby. The decorations there have always been some of my favorites, and I can't wait to stay there next Christmas. This particular night, we were killing time before our Wishes fireworks cruise, and my family, although begrudingly, allowed me to wander around for a bit. Must have been the Christmas Spirit at work.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
