Focus on Disney World - Where in the World? #1

The magic is in the details.

A visit to Disney World is like no other experience. From the moment you arrive you are engulfed by the atmosphere. Seems like every step you take provides a new treat for your senses, from the sound of beating drums to the sight of spectacular colors in every direction. There's so much to absorb that your brain focuses on the big picture rather than on the details. And that's the plan - Imagineers don't just create a set for us to look at, they immerse us in the set so that we actually feel something magical. For them it's is all about the detail. It wasn't until I started photographing Disney World that I really began to see the amazing intricacies of their work.

Let's see how well you focus on the details. Each week I'll post a photo of some small bit of Disney World. See if you can figure out where it comes from. The following week I'll let you know the answer. Let's start.

Focus on Disney World - Where in the World? #2

Answer to last week’s Where in the World challenge:
Light String
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/18-200VR, 1/1250s shutter, f4.6

If you guessed Asia in the Animal Kingdom you’re right! This string of lights crosses the path on the way past the restrooms disguised as a mountain trading post. That’s Expedition Everest in the background.

Quick Tip: Head to Asia in the afternoon to get good photos of Expedition Everest. Later in the day the sun will be at your back, shining brightly on the mountain.

Answer to Where in the World challenge #2:
Pinocchio Statue
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/18-200VR, 0.002s shutter, f5.3

This bronze sculpture of Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket is one of several character statues in the garden in front of the Cinderella’s castle at the Magic Kingdom.

Quick Tip: Giving a photo a shallow depth of field will really make your subject stand out from the background. I set my aperture to f/5.3 to make the flowers behind this statue look blurry. You can get a similar effect by using the portrait setting on your camera.

This was Challenge #3:
Where in the World #3

And here's the answer:
lcm
Copyright © 2006 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/55-200, 1/1000s shutter, f4.0

This laundry line comes from the set of the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show at Disney-MGM Studios. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this show. Having seen the Indiana Jones stunt show I wasn’t expecting to be wowed but was I ever wrong. I loved this show! Even though I’m not a big fan of car chase scenes in the movies, it was really fun to learn how those scenes are created. There are some fun surprises in the show. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, be sure catch it on your next trip. You won’t be sorry.

Wilderness Lodge Lights
Copyright © 2006 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/55-200, 0.077s shutter, f4.5

Apparently, this wasn’t really a challenge after all! Nearly everyone got the answer correct. Congratulations go to Melissa N. Wheeler for being the first one to tell me that Challenge #4 comes from the teepee chandeliers in the lobby of the Wilderness Lodge. OK, now that I know I’m not dealing with a bunch of novices here, you can bet I’m going to step up these challenges and make them a bit harder!

And here's the answer:
Canon
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/55-200, 0.006s shutter, f6.3

This challenge was a real stumper. Pretty much everyone guessed that it was part of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. That's not a bad guess given that it is a pile of canonballs, but it’s actually located off to the side of the Liberty Square Riverboat launch. What I find curious is that it is aimed directly at the people on Tom Sawyer Island. Watch out next time you’re there!

Now, I’m sure there’s someone out there who knows where this next challenge is located…

Stormalong Bay Slide
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/18-200VR, 1/500s shutter, f4.8

The best resort pool on property, hands down, is Stormalong Bay at the Yacht and Beach Clubs. This beached pirate ship, named the Albatross, is the pool’s slide.

Darn - no winners this week. I guess this one was kind of hard. The Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse was the most popular guess. This next one will be easy for you Hidden Mickey buffs - better get your answers in early!

This Hidden Mickey is on one of the totem poles outside of Canada in the World Showcase area of Epcot. Do you see it? Jacquelyn Law did and she was first to let me know. Congratulations Jacquelyn, you're this week's winner!

And here's the answer:
Gorilla Sign
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50/18-200VR, 1/20s shutter, f4

I just love all the creative signs at Disney World. This one is located on the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail in the Africa section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. In addition to gorillas, you’ll find birds, fish, monkeys, duikers and hippos on this trail near Kilimanjaro Safaris.

I think the signs are as much fun to look at as the animals. Karen Dresser-Smith from Salem, Massachusetts must think so too – she’s this week’s challenge winner!

You’ll see the logo for Hollywood Public Works all over Disney’s MGM Studios (soon to be changed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios). This goofy guy is one of the Streetmosphere actors who entertain guests along Disney’s streets of Hollywood. Although many people correctly guessed that this photo came from MGM Studios, Amanda Campbell was the first person to reference the Streetmosphere performers. Congratulations Amanda, you’re this week’s winner!

Everyone’s a winner! There were more responses than ever to this week’s challenge and everyone knew that the photo was taken in front of the France Pavilion in Epcot. Jennifer Snapp was the first one to send in her answer and she was the first person who provided the name of this French acrobat team, Serveur Amusant. Congratulations Jennifer!

You will need to be very specific with the location of this next photo in order to win. Are you up to the challenge?

Kudos to Tim Wingfield! He did some very creative detective work and was the first to come up with the right answer. This torch is between France and the United Kingdom in Epcot’s World Showcase.

Tim wasn’t the only person with a correct guess though. Lori Bennett also knew the location of this week’s challenge and will be entered in the drawing for Steve Barrett’s Hidden Mickey book and some other AllEars goodies at the end of this month!

I have a feeling that Challenge #14 might not be as difficult. If you think you know this one, send your answer in quickly.

OK, that was an easy one! Nearly everyone knew that this was a photo of Daisy Duck hiking with Hewey, Louie and Dewey at Camp Minnie Mickey in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Congratulations to Casey Wittekind! She was quick with her response and is the official winner of Challenge #14.

Several people thought that it was Donald leading this group, not Daisy. Maybe they know something about Donald that I don’t so I included them as winners too! That means there was an amazing 105 people who sent in the correct answer this week!

Christina Romano is this week’s challenge winner. Way to go Christina! With the help of her sister, Jessie and her dad, Nick, Christina was the first to let me know that this sculpture resides in Italy at Epcot’s World Showcase. This is one of those really cool details that is so easy to walk right past without noticing. It’s the top of the newel post on a staircase outside of Tutto Italia Restaurant.

Here’s another photo that shows the location a little better. The restaurant is located to the right of the staircase.

Tim Rachuba was the first of only three people who knew that this photo was of a lantern that can be found on Discovery Island in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Congratulations Tim – you’re this week’s winner. Tricia Noble and Nancy Ahlsen also had the correct answer this week. Tim, Tricia and Nancy will be entered in the December winner's drawing.

I noticed this shelf of crayons when I was headed into Cape May Café at the Beach Club Resort. These are the crayons they give kids to play with while they are waiting for their meals. Who would have ever thought that a crayon storage space could be used so cleverly to decorate? That’s Disney for you!

Christina Romano was this week’s winner once again. Christina is getting hard to beat! She was joined by Jessica Romano, Nancy Ahlsen, Loretta Reed and Gretchen who all knew the answer and were entered in December’s winners drawing.

Casey’s Grandstand
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/60s shutter, f4

On Main Street in the Magic Kingdom is a counter service restaurant called Casey’s Corner. Casey’s the place to go when you have a taste for a good old fashioned hot dog. Decorated with old baseball memorabilia, the seating area at Casey’s is designed to resemble a grandstand from days gone by.

And here's the answer:
Cinderella’s Horse
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/60s shutter, f5.6

This beautiful horse lives on Cinderella’s Golden Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. There are 90 horses on this fanciful carrousel and no two are alike. What makes it special is that this is the only one with a gold ribbon on its tail, signifying that it is Cinderella’s own horse.

Congratulations to Angie Young, this week’s winner. In addition to Angie, 127 people knew that this is the tail of Cinderella's horse.

This was Challenge #26:
Where in the World #26

And here's the answer:
Grotesque
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 0.4s shutter, f4.5

This sculpture is in the lobby area of the Impressions de France film in Epcot’s World Showcase. I've always thought that this was a gargoyle but I just learned that this replica of a stone carving from atop the Notre Dame in Paris is actually a grotesque. Grotesques were believed to ward off evil spirits.

A gargoyle has its roots in plumbing. A gargoyle is a grotesque that directs water away from a building via a spout in its mouth. Since this carving does not have a water spout, it is technically considered a grotesque rather than a gargoyle.

Language does have a way of evolving though. Nowadays it's common and acceptable to use the term gargoyle to describe both grotesques and gargoyles. Either way, he's still kind of grotesque!

Congratulations to Kathy Love , this week’s winner. Jacquelyn Law, Mike Kaczanowski, Brian Gallant, Monica Alderman, Garland Cox, Sharon Lee, Roye Ann Morris and Allison DiBiase also all gave the correct answer and will be entered in the February winner's drawing.

And here's the answer:
ADH%20med%20size.jpg
Copyright © 2006 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 55-200, 1/400s shutter, f10

The Atlantic Dance Hall is a gorgeous art deco club on Disney’s Boardwalk. I originally fell in love with this place several years back when they played swing music. A local swing dance club would liven up the place on weekends. They wore great clothes from the 1940s and were a lot of fun to watch. Now they have 1980s DJ dance music. Most times that I’ve stopped in recently the place has been fairly deserted. It’s too bad because it really is a beautiful club. I’d love to have a big old party there someday… maybe a fiftieth birthday bash… you’ll all be invited!

Congratulations to Evelyn Cowdell , this week’s winner. Merry Shippee, Kristen Eby, Kim Lawton, Erin, Jim Szlachta, Jude Toups, Gloria Martin, Jaime Thomson, Sarah Haas, Frank F Fincken III, Jennifer Tremley, Noreen Rachuba, Melissa Ruggieri, Gregg Letts, Mike Kaczanowski, Karen Schlumpf, Katelyn Palermo, Nora Beirne, Patty Carty, Chloe' C, Jeanine Yamanaka, Dominic Cooper, Tim Rachuba, Susan, Jared Nishida, April, Leslie Budd, Elisa Dillon, Karen DeSantis, Jennifer Horst, Jane Bradley, Melissa Littman, Ken, Michelle Raimist , Ed Aleszczyk , Sue McDonald , Ann Carr , Jim Senft , Chip Vermette, Melissa DeMonbreun, Heather Young, Neil Taylor, Ruth Cookson, Larry Carter and Suzanne Brown also all gave the correct answer by Thursday and were entered in the February winner's drawing.

Here we are at the end of another month already. We had 191 winning answers this month! Unfortunately, there can only be one prize winner and this month that person is Kathy Love. Congratulations Kathy! You will receive Steve Barrett’s newest Hidden Mickey book, along with some other great AllEars gifts.

And here's the answer:
Royal Feast
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/8s shutter, f4.8

This was a tough one! By far, the most popular guess was Pirates of the Caribbean. However, the correct answer is that it can be found in the United Kingdom pavilion at Epcot. This little piggy is part of the Royal Banquet window display in the Sportsman’s Shop across from the Rose & Crown.

Congratulations to Trygve Cumpston, this week’s winner. Sharon Lee, Alan Broome, Heather, Theresa Ruicando, Heather Coursen, Linda Crosby, Kellie Carter, Lynda Champion, Ida Williamson, Noreen Rachuba, Jorge, Sarah Haas, Tim Rachuba, Chris Freeman, Jennifer Shipley, and Michael also all gave the correct answer by Thursday and will be entered in the March winner's drawing.

And here's the answer:
Dolphin Resort
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/60s shutter, f4.5

You just never know… I thought everyone would guess this one right away. Not a single person got it though. Challenge #30 is from the façade of the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort. I took this in January when I was there for the marathon.

This is such an interesting building. It was designed by Michael Graves, who has won numerous awards for his post-modern designs. I am always drawn to take photos of this hotel. There are so many ways you can take really unusual photographs of it. Normally I tend to shy away from taking any photos that are perfectly centered, but in this shot I deliberately lined everything up in a very symmetrical pattern. When you take a photo like this it’s important to be precise about the way you compose it. Even a slightly crooked line will ruin the effect.

Bazaar
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/1600s shutter, f5.6

High atop the Agrabah Bazaar in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland is what looks to me like some kind of bird house. I wonder if that is really what it is though, or if it is something completely different. Does anyone know?

I was really surprised that no one got this answer. I thought for sure that everyone would have seen this, especially anyone who has ridden on the Magic Carpets of Aladdin. That’s two weeks in a row that I have stumped you. Let’s see how many of you know this next one.

Here’s a special shout out to Brian Stake who wrote in to say, “In relation to your question of if that is a bird house or not... that is exactly what it is! I am currently stationed overseas in Baghdad, Iraq and we have a rather large birdhouse on Forward Operating Base Victory that looks very similar to that.” Thanks Brian!

The Harambe Reserve at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to these reticulated giraffes. You can catch a glimpse of them wandering the savannah when you take a ride on the Kilimanjaro Safari. Did you know that even though the giraffe’s neck is taller than most humans are, it is still made of only seven bones? This is the same number of bones that are in the human neck.

And here's the answer:
China Architecture
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/50s shutter, f5

The three-tiered, circular Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest is a one-half scale reproduction of its counterpart inside the Temple of Heaven complex near Beijing. Disney’s version of this beautiful temple serves as the entrance to Reflections of China, a 360 degree CircleVision movie.

With a telephoto lens I was able to zoom in close to pick up the detail on the outside of the building and create an unusual composition of this pavilion. The late afternoon sun really helped to give it a nice golden glow.

This week’s bragging rights go to Evelyn Cowdell, who was the first to send in the correct answer to challenge #36. Nice going Evelyn!

This was Challenge #37:
 Where in the World #37

And here's the answer:
Main Street Clock
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/50s shutter, f5

This lovely clock is on Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom. Angie Young was the first to send in the correct answer. Nice going Angie!

Here’s a special hello to Mrs. Mumpower’s first grade class! Like many people this week, they guessed that this clock was at the train station. That was pretty close, but not quite right. As you can see, the clock is actually about halfway down Main Street. I bet you’ll know the answer to this week’s challenge though.

Until next week, adios! (Hmm, I think that might be a hint!)

Congratulations to all the readers who knew the answer to this past week’s contest and sent it in before the end of Thursday: Becky Myers, Baines Family, Lynn Barber, Bruce Lawson, Richard Nussbaum, Mary Williams, Abbey Williams, Carl Williams, Sharon Pierce, Heather Coursen, Mike Fisk, Tina Panzarella, Sharon Dale, Nancy Hannah, Betsey Pickard, Evelyn Cowdell, Jim Greenhouse, Tim Rachuba, Jen Maciok, Mike, Jennifer Tremley, Raymond Hatch, Chris Connors, Jennifer G, Jared Orth, Trish Babler, Maryann Eckenrode, Karen Dresser-Smith, Ken Fischler, Jeff Christiansen, Mike Kaczanowski, Jacquelyn Law, Ed Nawrocki, Pat Whitson, Hollie Hinton, Chris Bertelmann, Aaron Hale, Lisa Gale, Neil Taylor, Nicole Cyr, Kelley H, Patty Lue Roosa, Holley Blyler, Sherry Klinefelter, Theresa Rucando and Heather Young.

And here's the answer:
Mexico Pavilion Epcot
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/5s shutter, f3.5

You’ll find this fountain in the marketplace of the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase. Mexico is a great place to get beautiful, colorful photographs. Because it is so dark, you have to be extra careful to keep your camera steady. For this shot I balanced the camera on the ledge at the entrance to the pavilion.

John Agnew was the first to send in the correct answer this week. Congratulations John!

Looking for Where in the World?

Focus on Disney World by Barrie Brewer

Hi everyone – I thought some of you might not have seen my note last week about being on vacation. Right now I am somewhere in Italy on an Adventures by Disney tour. After that I’ll be heading to France for a tour of Provence and Paris. Then I’ll be wrapping up the three week dream trip with a couple of days at Disneyland Paris!

And yes, I am definitely taking my camera! I hope to get lots of great photos to share with you all. I won't be posting any here until I return but you might be able to see a few on my other blog, 365 Days [and learning]. No promises, but I'll try to get at least a few photos posted there while I am gone.

The next Where in the World challenge (#41) will be published on June 8. You have until June 5 to get your answers in for Challenge #40. I’ll see you when I get back.

And here's the answer:
Pirates of the Caribbean sign at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/500s shutter, f5.6

I’m back! Thanks for putting up with me taking a vacation. I had a wonderful time on my Adventures by Disney tours of Italy and France. I’ll be sharing some photos from my trip with you soon.

Several people thought that challenge #40 might have been part of the shipwreck of the Albatross at Stormalong Bay. I thought that was a pretty good guess but it wasn’t quite right. Austin O'Blenis was the first to tell me that this scrawny pirate can be found in the Magic Kingdom, keeping watch from the crow’s nest above the Pirates of the Caribbean sign.

Congratulations to Austin and all the readers who got the answer right: Nancy Bennett, Marissa D'Ambrosio, Walter N.

And here's the answer:
Chandelier at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/60s shutter, f5.6

This amazing chandelier is located in the lobby of Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. It’s breathtaking the first time you see it. This photo only shows one quarter of the massive fixture. There are actually four giant hippocamps* and four angels holding candelabras. It really is an incredible piece of art.

*Creatures with the head and foreparts of a horse and the serpentine tail of a fish are known as hippocamps in Greek mythology. Believed to be the adult form of a seahorse, they were ridden by Poseidon. (I learn the most interesting things when I write this blog!)

Dawn Bach was the first to send in the correct answer this week!

Only a few people recognized this as the sign from Hollywood & Vine, a full-service buffet restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Hollywood & Vine is home to a character breakfast and lunch featuring the Little Einsteins and JoJo and Goliath. Dinner is a non-character buffet.

This is just a tiny portion of one of the beautiful mosaics that can be found in Cinderella’s Castle in the Magic Kingdom. There are five mosaics in the passageway under the castle that leads from Main Street USA to Fantasyland. Together the five panels tell the story of Cinderella in glass tiles.

Epcot Character Spot Sign at Walt Disney World
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/500s shutter, f11

This is the sign for the relatively new Character Spot sign in Epcot. Head to Innoventions West to meet Mickey Mouse and his friends. It’s a great place to have your pictures taken with the characters. Each picture will feature you and your favorite character in front of a brightly colored backdrop depicting the different lands of Future World.

Warden Post at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/1000s shutter, f4

This is Warden Post No. 4, another example of how much detail Disney includes in its attractions. When you exit Kilimanjaro Safari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom you pass by this post. Only a few people got this one right. I bet a lot of people miss this because they're in a rush when they get off the Safari to get to the next attraction.

Monsters Inc Vending Machine at Disney’s Magic Kingdom
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/60s shutter, f5, ISO 400

Hi everyone – I’m back! Thanks for putting up with my extended vacation. The last Where in the World photograph that I left you with was a can of Blort. I don't know what Blort is exactly, but I'm sure it's quite the tasty treat. You’ll find it in this vending machine in the queue of Monster’s, Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club. Mike Wazowski is the one-eyed monster host of this show, located in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom.

Frontierland Train Station in the Magic Kingdom
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/4s shutter, f3.5

The Walt Disney World Railroad boasts an old-fashioned steam train that makes three stops as it circles the Magic Kingdom. This photo was taken in the Frontierland train station, which is between the Main Street and Toontown stations.

I’m so surprised that no one guessed it this week. This is all in fun and I just hate it when everyone is stumped. From now on, if I don’t have a correct guess by Tuesday, I’ll post a hint. If you don’t know the answer, be sure to check back on Wednesday to see if I’ve offered up any last minute clues!

Harper’s Mill in the Magic Kingdom
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/80s shutter, f5.6

Tom Sawyer’s Island is a great place to take a little breather from all the hectic activity in the rest of the Magic Kingdom. Did you know that the gears inside Harper’s Mill creak to the tune of Down by the Old Mill Stream? There’s Tom’s raft resting on the shore in front of the mill. I wonder what he’s up to.

This one turned out to be trickier than I thought. So many people guessed It's a Small World or the Enchanted Tiki Room, Under New Management in the Magic Kingdom. I took this photo during Finding Nemo, the Musical in Disney's Animal Kingdom. I finally had a chance to see it when I was in Walt Disney World a couple of weeks ago.

Kali River Rapids Queue in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 2.5s shutter, f3.5, ISO 800

You’ll find this sign on the tour operator’s desk in the queue for Kali River Rapids in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It’s near the end of the queue, just before you reach the boarding area.

I haven’t spent a lot of time in this queue because I don’t fancy getting wet, but on my last trip I decided to go through the line just to take pictures. I lucked out because I happened to hit the ride at the end of the day when there wasn’t any line. I was able to wander around taking photos to my heart’s content - something to keep in mind for future Where in the World challenges – hint, hint!

This was Challenge #60:
 Where in the World #60

And here's the answer:
World Showcase Lagoon at Epcot
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D300, 18-200VR, 1/25s shutter, f22

These colorful gondola mooring poles are in the water of the World Showcase Lagoon, in front of the Italy pavilion in Epcot. Uniquely painted poles were used to designate gondola “parking spaces” for various Venetian families. You can still see these multicolored poles in the canals of Venice, although they are more decorative than functional these days.

 Where in the World #64

And here's the answer:
Off Kilter at Epcot
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/160s shutter, f6.3

Off Kilter is a fabulous Celtic rock band that entertains guests near the Canadian pavilion in Epcot. This is Jamie Holton, the band’s bagpiper and front man. I wasn’t sure what kind of answers I was going to get this week. What I found amazing was that not only did folks know that these legs belonged to someone in Off Kilter, several people actually identified them as Jamie’s legs. Now that’s a little scary!

Bryan Timko was the first to send in the correct answer this week! Congratulations to Bryan and all the readers who got the answer right: Dusty Cheatham, Deb Ragno, David Wickware, Sandra Shaw, Jennifer Lazzaro, Jacquelyn Law, Alan Law, Deb Gallo, Erika Loboda, Devin, Austin O'blenis, Angie Young, Sherry Klinefelter, Leslie Dameron, Ed Aleszczyk, Kye Layton, Brian Harrigan, Patrick Albrecht, Sharon Pierce, Sharon Lee, Debra Kuklinski, Kathy Love, Dennis Dunkman, Ken Maikowski, Lori Posey, Kim Davis, Lauri Phillips, Brian Gallant, Jen Cerce, Jeremy Hardy, Jeff Kulisek, Mary Beth Tarbet, Trish Babler, Jackie Purcell, Melissa Demonbreun, Kelly Jean, Clarissa K, Joyce Tofflemire, Lisa Edmonson, Debbie Poole, Tim Wingfield, Joanna Snow, Shannon Milair, Hayley Lawson, Amanda, Michelle Wilinski, Dawn Bach, Kevin Toomey, Jeffrey Dunne, Gregg Mcglasson, Dallas Hamilton, Melesia Love, Krystal Pound, John Dupr, Robert Mcclean, Greg Gallo, Tim Rachuba, Elizabeth Scarborough, Debbie Hicks, Siobhan Mason, Jude Toups, Karen Schlumpf, Dan Mangini, Wendy Snelgrove, Sarah Haas, Nicole Lassiter, Carla Leger, Paula Bender, Evelyn Wilson, Glenn Meyer, Cheri Palmisano, Karen Dresser-smith, Rick Shea, Keith, Lisa, Tommy Montgomery, Luis Rodriguez, April Tucker, Anne Hainsworth, Allison Caputa, Marie Bertini, Angela Brown, Gloria Keenan, Heather Stevens, Janet Guay, Joanne Snoots, Matt Cofone, Patti Sturgis, Ken Taylor, Kathy Berry, Harry Wilson, Bob Sertic, Katie Fry, Kevin Cowdell, Morgan Stalker, Kristine Gallatin, Melissa Boyle, Sam Mortellaro, Lisa Zitek, Lisa Hoffman, Kelli Vancil, Kim Steiner, Patricia Ovesny, Regina L Tipton, Ruth Cookson, Patricia Siebert, Kurt Schmidt, Mlke Verlinghieri, Kirk Hardy, Terri Thornton, Cari-ann, Liz Patterson, Tere Rudy, Nancy Ahlsen, Lauren Foss, Mickey Eckert and Bruce Arnold. Each of you will be entered in the December winners’ drawing.

I’ll be taking the next two weeks off from the Where in the World challenge to attend MouseFest. That gives everyone some extra time to get your answers in for challenge #65. Challenge #66 will appear on December 28.

If you’re attending MouseFest this year, don’t forget to join Lisa, Scott and me at our Picture This! Photowalk meet on Saturday morning. You’ll find all the details here.

Dolphin Resort Chandelier
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/160s shutter, f4.8, ISO 800

This abstract looking photograph is a picture of the chandelier that hangs over the escalators in the Dolphin Resort. Since you had a couple of extra weeks to figure it out, I thought I’d make you work a little harder on this challenge. This week’s challenge won't be quite so tough.

Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D300, 18-200VR, 1/100s shutter, f5, ISO 2500

There’s a great big, beautiful tomorrow…

I think we might have set a record with this one! More than two hundred and fifty people knew that jack-o-lantern is part of Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, located in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. What I found really interesting was, with the exception of one person, everyone else guessed 50’s Prime Time Café.

Carved Wooden Totem Pole in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Although it looks similar, this is not one of the Tree of Life carvings, which is what most people guessed. This is one of the beautiful carved wooden totem poles that can be found on Discovery Island in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. What I wouldn’t give to have one of these in my garden at home.

Where in the World #72

Focus on Disney World by Barrie Brewer

This was Challenge #71:
 Where in the World #71

And here's the answer:
Miniature Train, Germany, Epcot
Copyright © 2006 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 55-200mm, 1/6s shutter, f/8

This miniature train is in the display just outside of the Germany pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase. If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you actually had an advantage this week because this photo has been recycled. It made its debut way back in August of 2007. I didn’t realize that until after I had posted it. Don’t get any ideas though, this week’s challenge photo is a brand new one.

Jodi Cook was the first to send in the correct answer for the challenge!

Where in the World #73

Focus on Disney World by Barrie Brewer

This was Challenge #72:
 Where in the World #72

And here's the answer:
Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1s shutter, f/4.5

This is the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade in the Magic Kingdom. I knew this one would be a little tough, that’s why I included just a tiny bit of the target as a clue. You'll have a better chance of getting a shot with this nice orange sky if you stop in to the arcade after dark. Don't use your flash. Instead, use a longer shutter speed (this was 1 second) and make sure your camera is very steady. You can tell I didn't use my tripod. If you look closely at the gravestones you'll notice they are a little blurry. Just one more reason to make another trip!

Rick Shea was the first to send in the correct answer for the challenge! Congratulations to Rick and all the readers who got the answer right: Jodi Cook, Lou Baker, Dylan Weidner, Mike Haeberle, Caroline Dupre, Brittany Irish, John Dupre, Andrew J Weed, Rochelle, Cori Lehman, Amy Schweizer, Paul Cooper, Bill Androckitis Jr., Louis Podbelski, Jeffrey Dunne, Dan Hawkins, Chris Connors, Dave Cole, Bonnie Smith, Jen Cox, Brian Gallant, Marc Lorenzo, Joseph Tempel, Glenn Meyer, Jamie Kelly, Brandon Boffin, Gary E Genteman, Katarina Whitmarsh, Jamie Poynton, Emily Nussbaum, Matthew Waga, Kathy Berry and James Berry. Each of you will be entered in the February winners’ drawing.

This was Challenge #73:
 Where in the World #73

And here's the answer:
Enchanted Tiki Room column
Copyright © 2008 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/80s shutter, f/5.6

This is one of the columns on the outside of the building that houses the Enchanted Tiki Room “Under New Management!” in the Magic Kingdom. It’s just amazing to me how much incredible artwork there is in Disney World. It’s everywhere you turn, which makes it easy to miss such a huge sculpture in such an obvious place.

Emily Dagney was the first to send in the correct answer for the challenge! Congratulations to Emily and all the readers who got the answer right: Paula Munson, Jonathan Walker, Sharon Dale, Sharon Lee, Chris Connors, Alicia Henderson, Tricia Noble, Karen, Brandon Emerson, Tracy Discher, Blake Schmidt, Tim Rachuba, Jamie Poynton, Kelly Montgomery, Terri Thornton, Debra Moscara and Bob Ruer.

And here's the answer:
Map from Donald Duck’s Boat in the Magic Kingdom
Copyright © 2006 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/13s shutter, f/4.8

Inside the hull of Donald’s boat, the S.S. Miss Daisy, is this giant map. The Miss Daisy can be found in Mickey’s Toontown Fair at the Magic Kingdom. Click on the map to see the larger version so you can enjoy all the detail – it’ll quack you up! (I couldn’t resist.)

Each of you were entered in the February winners’ drawing.

And speaking of that monthly drawing… this month’s big winner is Sharon Martinez! Congratulations Sharon, you are the lucky recipient of a fabulous Disney book and some really cool AllEars schwag!

Picture This! reader Jeffrey Dunne pointed out that folks on the west coast were having to get up before five a.m. on Sunday mornings to have any chance of being the first to get in their answers. That seems pretty extreme, so starting this week, we'll be posting the Where in the World challenges a little later in the day. Watch out east coasters, that means you have more competition now! And just to make being first a wee bit more exciting, starting this week, in addition to bragging rights, the first person to submit the correct answer each week will get their name put into the drawing twice for that week. Good luck everyone!

This was Challenge #75:
 Where in the World #75

And here's the answer:
Wonders of Life Pavilion at Epcot
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/320s shutter, f/9

Before its closure in 2004, the Wonders of Life pavilion in Epcot was home to such attractions as Body Wars and Cranium Command. Its other exhibits were all related to life and health. Now this golden domed pavilion is used for special events. I’d love to see it brought back and updated. There’s so much that could be done with this pavilion to get kids interested in health and fitness.

Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor sign
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/60s shutter, f/5, ISO 400

This sign hangs in the queue of Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club located in Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom. Come prepared with your favorite joke and you might just get to be part of the show. I think we might have broken a record this week - look how many people knew the answer!

This was a hard one. Many people guessed Morocco. If I hadn’t taken the photo I think that would have been my guess too. These bird cages are actually located in the queue for Kali River Rapids in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

 Where in the World #80

And here's the answer:
Canada Pavilion in Epcot
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/800s shutter, f/8

O Canada! Hello to all our Canadian readers! The answer to this week’s challenge is the Canada Pavilion in Epcot. Canada is one of the most beautiful countries in World Showcase. How perfect is the theming of this country? I mean, just look at this photo – you can’t tell me that looks anything like central Florida!

And here's the answer:
Planet Hollywood Shop at Downtown Disney
Copyright © 2009 Jack Spence, Nikon D80, 1/250s shutter, f/8, ISO 400

Jack was right, this one was hard. Most people, understandably, thought it was taken in front of the Great Movie Ride in Hollywood Studios. This picture actually comes from the Planet Hollywood merchandise shop, outside of the Planet Hollywood Restaurant at Downtown Disney Westside. The outside of the shop is covered with handprints. If you look at the picture closely, you can see “white” areas on the building. This is where the handprints are. Thanks Jack – that was a fun one. Oh, by the way, I didn’t know the answer either!

Scott Otis was the first to send in the correct answer for the challenge! Congratulations to Scott and all the readers who got the answer right: Nathan Cripe, Tina Cooper, Jeffrey Dunne, James Berry, Kathy Berry, Jaime Thomson, Melissa Dye, Michele Delorenzo, Brian Yesutis, Cheri Palmisano, Carinne Kight, Danielle Murgia, Anne Hainsworth, Alicia Henderson, Wendy Ip, Jen Cerce, Noreen Rachuba and Katarina Whitmarsh.

Ticket Booth topper at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Copyright © 2009 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D300, 18-200VR, 1/250s shutter, f/.6

Have you ever looked closely at the tops of the ticket booths at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? There are some beautiful carvings just above the gorgeous bougainvillea. Each of the three booths has a different menagerie of animals carved on it. Next time you’re rushing in to get to the safari or Everest, take a minute to enjoy some beautiful artwork on your way.

This beautiful relief carving is located near the elevators at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. I think this one stumped a lot of people. I went easy on you – anyone who mentioned the Polynesian got it right this week, even if you didn’t know exactly where it was at the resort.

And here's the answer:
 Dawa Bar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Copyright © 2009 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D300, 18-200VR, 1/125s shutter, f/11

For this week’s answer, if you knew this photo was from Africa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park then you are winners – nice going! These two chairs are actually sitting on the roof of the Dawa Bar in Africa. Some folks knew that, some said they were on the roof of Tusker House and some knew it was Africa, but didn’t give me anymore detail than that. All of those answers made it into the drawing. For all of you who thought they were above Restaurantasaurus in Dinoland… sorry, better luck next time. Great guess, but not quite close enough. And although the chairs are indeed in Animal Kingdom, I am definitely always looking for a bit more detail than just the name of the park. Make sure you give me some idea of where in the park a photo was taken if you want a chance at the fabulous prize package.


Tiago De Oliveira was the first to send in the correct answer for the challenge! Congratulations to Tiago and all the readers who got the answer right: Kye Layton, Ken Jackson, Ann Fowler, Dawn Burns, Matt Cofone, Shannon Milair, Danusia Rogacki, Dawn, Krystal Thomas, April Ramey, Amy Rupp, David Coates, Melody Salemi, Jeremy Coto, Lee Anastasi, Denise Owen, Joy Johnston, Cameron Love, Michelle Thompson, Susan Thompson, Michael Joel Gainey, Kelley H, Scott Otis, Craig Canady, Karen Hotchkiss, Mary Mchenry, Michelle Roth-smoot, Lynn Barber, Bryan Fencl, Kathy Berry, James Berry, Kris Nixon, Tim Rachuba, Paul Moody, Mark Wagner, Brenda Baines, Marie Phillips, Aruna, Patrick Riley, Krista Penno, Ben Dameron, Becky Bean, Richard Nussbaum, Katie, Wendy Snelgrove, Heidi Summers, Bonnie Smith, Jennifer Schwing, Amy Smith, Sharon Dale and Brian Miller. Each of you were entered in the May winners’ drawing.

In case some of you have been wondering how the monthly prize winner is chosen - it is totally random. I assign each winning entry a number based on the order in which the winning entries are submitted. The person who is the first to send in the correct answer each week gets their name entered into the drawing twice that week. At the end of the fourth week I enter the total number of entries into a random number generator and let the computer choose the winner for the month. This month’s big winner is Melody Salemi! Congratulations Melody, you are the lucky recipient of a fabulous Disney book and some really cool AllEars schwag!

Good luck to everyone as we begin another month! Here we go…

 Where in the World #88

And here's the answer:
American Adventure Map
Copyright © 2009 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D300, 18-200VR, 1/8s shutter, f/8, ISO 400

Well, this proved to be one of the hardest weeks ever. Only three people knew that this license plate map can be found in the American Adventure store at Epcot. It’s hanging on the wall in the back of the store. Although I didn’t see it, a Cast Member did tell me that they have it for sale too. Hopefully it doesn’t cost as much as the one I saw online. Craig sent me a link to one that was $3900!

And here's the answer:
Buzz Lightyear at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D50, 18-200VR, 1/500s shutter, f/16

I took this photo of Buzz Lightyear at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, during the Stars and Motorcars parade. Buzz travels around the world quite a bit. There was really no way to tell from my clue exactly where he might have been when I snapped the picture so I counted everyone who had his name in their answer, no matter where you thought he might have been at the time.

Robert Anderson was the first to send in the correct answer for the challenge!

And here's the answer:
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant sign at the Magic Kingdom

Here's a tip from Helene M. for anyone interested in the license plate map that I featured a few weeks ago.

comments: About the "Where in The World" picture of the license plate map, I'm sure someone has already said this but you can find almost the exact same piece of art at Target stores for $40 for a 24"x18" and $200 for a 35"x23"... Just thought some people might like to know how to get a little piece of the World in their home for much cheaper than a few thousand dollars :)
