The Wonderful World of Disney Part VI

Disney, also known as The Happiest Place on Earth, is full of interesting people and characters.  Due to the weather, large crowds, and sweltering heat, we opted not to stand in long lines at the character set-ups but to capture characters by luck or in one of the many parades or shows.  When your composition is compromised by bystanders, you can always use a photo editing program like Photoshop or Picasa to crop the image on your computer as in the image above.

The highlight of any trip to Disney for children of all ages is actually interacting with the characters in person.

I love to “people watch” and would love to find the courage to photograph strangers.  But being the shy person that I am, this is as close to street photography as I’ll probably ever get.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Wonderful World of Disney Part V

Throughout all the parks you’ll find numerous statues.  The first set was taken at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.  Among them are busts of actors/actresses that have been inducted into The Academy of Television Arts Hall of Fame.

The Wonderful World of Disney Part IV

The kids decided they wanted their faces painted by some very talented cast members while visiting Epcot.  Shannon, the biggest kid of them all, is the guilty party who got it all started.
