  • The Director

    21. oktober 2013, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    The director in the statue is a generic 1920s/1930s film maker, not based on anyone in particular, especially not a young Walt Disney as some have claimed. It reflects the transition period when silents disappeared and talkies took over.
    This is such a simple statue but I've seen it shot, and stylized, so many different ways. People can be so creative!

  • The Hat

    21. oktober 2013, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 91 °F

    Built to represent "the magic of show business and the entertainment wizardry of Disney" this new icon was formally unveiled on September 28, 2001, as Walt Disney World kicked off its 100 Years of Magic Celebration.
    Many people seem to really dislike this giant hat, but I don't mind it. I must admit, though, it is my least favorite of the four Walt Disney World icons.

  • Mulan

    After passing through the arch, I found myself in the Animation Courtyard. The walls of the buildings are all decorated with giant artwork, like this Mulan sketch. There's something about this mural that I really like. I'd like to find a print of this. I'll have to look around for it.Les mer

  • The Hatbox Ghost

    21. oktober 2013, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 90 °F

    While interesting, I was a bit disappointed that one of the major aims of the Art of Animation was to sell expensive pieces of animation art. There was so much to choose from! I saw many original drawings that I liked as well as animation cels and even figures, like this Hatbox Ghost from the Haunted Mansion.Les mer

  • Mummy Goofy

    21. oktober 2013, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 90 °F

    Since it's very close to Halloween, many of the figures being sold were themed for the holiday, like this mummy Goofy. I like them but I don't think that they could be displayed all year. I couldn't see myself spending so much money on a figure that would be out for just a few weeks each year.Les mer

  • The Animator

    21. oktober 2013, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 90 °F

    This is the sort of thing that I had expected to see at Disney's Animation Studios, real artists working on doing animation and drawings for Disney. I can't understand why this woman is working in the dark though. Doesn't she want anyone to see her working? The whole time I was watching her, she didn't acknowledge anyone who was curious to see her working or even look up and smile at anybody. I'm very disappointed. Disney employees are usually not so dismissive of park guests.Les mer

  • Sorcerer Mickey

    21. oktober 2013, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 90 °F

    Mickey Mouse, dressed up as the Sorcerer's Apprentice, was greeting guests inside the animation center. I've met Mickey Mouse many times but not when he was wearing this costume. I would have liked to take a picture with him but the line to see him was so long. Maybe next time..Les mer

  • Strollers

    21. oktober 2013, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 90 °F

    As soon as I exited Disney's Animation attraction, I walked into a sea of strollers. I'm so happy that our kids are grown up and we haven't had to use one of these things for so many years. I remember that they were such a nuisance. I feel bad for all the Disney cast members who have to try and arrange all these strollers. It seems like a never-ending and thankless job.Les mer

  • A Good Selection

    21. oktober 2013, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 90 °F

    I picked a great place for lunch because Rosie's All-American had a great menu. I decided to go with the macaroni and cheese hot dog with truffle oil. I wasn't sure how the truffle oil was going to taste but I decided to take a chance. My hot dog came with a bag of chips and, as a surprise, a cupcake. Lunch was rounded out with a bottle of water. I'll probably be refilling this bottle later. I'm always so thirsty!Les mer
