Disney Pic of the Week: Camp Minnie-Mickey

Photographic Innoventions by Scott Thomas

Camp Minnie-Mickey is situated in New York State’s Adirondack Mountains and Disney Imagineers have done a good job depicting the woodsie feel from that location. I spent many days hiking, camping and photographing around the Adirondacks while growing up in nearby Syracuse. However, there’s one thing you will not find in New York’s Adirondacks that you will find in Disney’s: Character Greeting Trails! Nor will you find Ranger Donald Duck high up in a fire tower on Whiteface Mountain but he is my Disney Pic of the Week for Camp Minnie-Mickey.

Barrie will be here later this week with a photo from Camp Minnie-Mickey. Lisa is experiencing computer trouble and will not be able to post this week.

  1. I had no idea that Camp Minnie-Mickey was modeled after the Adirondacks! I grew up in Saratoga Springs and spent some time in Lake George, so now that I know this, I’ll definitely have to give it a look. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Scott replies: Not much in the way of mountains but lots of streams, trees and shrubs similar to the Adirondacks in a Florida climate. 🙂

  2. I won’t be posting a photo this week. I’m still dealing with computer issues.

    Scott replies: Bummer…will change the posting to reflect this.
