Belle’s Library

June 26, 2009 by Scott Thomas

Photos like the one below, taken in the Beauty and the Beast Meet and Greet Library in Epcot’s France pavilion showing some of the famous Disney detail, used to come out blurry and underexposed back in the days I shot film on my trips to Walt Disney World.

In the Jungle

June 25, 2009 by Lisa Berton

Little by little I’m learning to enjoy Animal Kingdom more and more especially all of the details and art that goes into something as enormous as the Tree of Life.

Where’s Romeo?

June 20, 2009 by Lisa Berton

A few friends and I stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge several years ago for 2 nights. It was one of those hazy and humid Summers with enough rain to demand ponchos. We were thrilled for the complimentary upgrade from a view of the parking lot to one of the savannah. We didn’t see many animals … Continue reading "Where’s Romeo?"
