Up
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
With that big bundle of balloons, this is obviously from the movie Up. While it’s a very popular film, it wasn’t one of my favorites. I thought that a lot of the movie was very sad. Sadness andRead more
So Colorful!
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
I’m not sure what Disney film this is taken from but it’s so colorful and vibrant! I’m really glad that I got to see some of this show. The next time I visit the Magic Kingdom I’ll have toRead more
Fireworks
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
The projections are becoming fireworks now so I’m guessing that this is almost the end of the show. These projection shows seem to be getting quite popular and I’m thinking that they are going toRead more
Real Fireworks
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
For the finale, real fireworks started going off. This was totally unexpected to me and I didn’t have the right settings on the camera to capture them properly. Well, I’m sure I’ll be seeing aRead more
After the Show
October 21, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
As it turns out, the spot I was standing in to take pictures was the same place that some of the people from the Disney Photography Blog were standing. I didn’t really know any of them yet, otherRead more
The Little Mermaid
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
As a group we walked over to Tomorrowland and then did nothing but stand about for nearly an hour. I’m thinking that arrangements were made to meet someone there but they never showed up. What aRead more
The Grotto
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
One of the people in the group worked at Walt Disney World and managed to get us an area of the Little Mermaid attraction queue roped off so we could have a private shooting.
Private Shooting
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
I’ve never done anything like this at any of the Disney parks so this really impressed me. I never even knew that this sort of thing was allowed. I’m really going to take advantage of this situation!
Going Wide
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
I’m not sure what lenses everyone else was using, but I immediately went for my fisheye lens. With such a wide angle, I was able to capture the entire room and also have a unique perspective. IRead more
Queue Details
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
The dome ceiling was the main attraction, of course, but our surroundings were also worthy of a few shots. The queues for the Disney rides are all very detailed and elaborate. It’s things like thisRead more
VIP Photo Area
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
While shooting, we noticed several times that the queue of regular guests getting on the ride would be looking in at us and several even took pictures. I guess that they were wondering who we were andRead more
Special Times
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
Although it’s been a while, it feels like our time here has ended all too quickly. This definitely was a very special experience and I’ll never forget it. I’m so happy that I was able to be aRead more
Journey of the Little Mermaid
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
After leaving the queue we, naturally, rode on the Journey of the Little Mermaid attraction. This is one of the newest rides in the Magic Kingdom and I’ve never been on it before. I’m very eagerRead more
Ariel
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
I was expecting another of the typical Fantasyland dark rides but this was so much better. The figures looked a lot more advanced and even moved around a bit.
Conga Line
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
I think that the fish conga line was my favorite part of the Under the Sea song. It’s fun and silly. I’m glad that they decided to put this scene in the attraction.
Under the Sea
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
A big portion of this attraction recreates the Under the Sea song and it’s very well done. Nearly all of the sea creatures that I remember from that sequence are there performing.
The Sea Witch
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
Ursula, the sea witch, had a big role in this new attraction. The imagineers did a great job with her. She looks like she just stepped out of the animated film!
A Happy Ending
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
At the end of the attraction, we see Ariel and Prince Eric waving goodbye to us from their wedding. True love wins again! I just love happy endings!
King Triton
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
As a final goodbye, King Triton makes an appearance at the end of the ride. It was a nice touch but I think that he should have appeared before Ariel and Eric. Since the ride is about the LittleRead more
A Great Ride!
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
This was my first time experiencing the Little Mermaid attraction and I really enjoyed it! This is such a great addition to the Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland expansion. I can’t wait to see whatRead more
Casey Jr.
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
After we left the Little Mermaid attraction, the majority of the group wanted to go back to Tomorrowland and look for whoever it was that they were waiting on before. I thought that would be a wasteRead more
Circus Train
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
I’m not really sure how I feel about the people in this group yet. Many of them seem to already know each other and have their own little cliques when mean the others are pretty much ignored. IRead more
Camels Spit!
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
This area is a part of the new and expanded Fantasyland. The Casey Jr. Circus Train is a sort of water playground for kids. I’m glad that I’m here so late so that I can get some uninterruptedRead more
Water Everywhere!
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
This seems like a place that kids would love playing in. My only suggestion would be to bring a swimsuit. I’m sure everyone leaves this area soaking wet!
