Kathy's song this week on Song-ography is "I Would Walk 500 Miles". It was a perfect theme for finally posting some of my Disney World photos...I can guarantee you that when you visit Disney World, you will feel as if you've walked 500 miles! It's so enormous and there are four different parks to cover if you so desire. My feet have never been so tired.

I've decided to break my photos down by park, so today I'm sharing some favorites from our day at Magic Kingdom. It was very overcast that day, so I'm not real thrilled with the sky in some of these photos. It was hard for them not to look washed out...there's likely a clever way to fix this in Photoshop, but my expertise is lacking in that area.

Also, as luck would have it, the day we visited the Magic Kingdom they had a crane attached to Cinderella's castle while removing the last of the Christmas decorations. If you look closely in the second image above, you can see the yellow "cage" dangling towards the top of the castle..the workers were inside the cage removing lights from the turrets. The crane ruined the possibility of getting a gorgeous, full-view photo of the castle from a distance...bummer! However, I was very thrilled to see the new Beauty and the Beast castle (the purplish one) - it was so pretty!

Despite my photography complaints, we had so much fun at Disney World - it's truly a magical place!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope to share some photos of Disney World/Hollywood Studios soon.

  5. Fantastic shots of Disney World - and I'm pretty sure that over the years, my family has logged the 500 miles and 'the 500 more'. Thanks for sharing.

  6. Disney is definitely one of those vacations that require a post-vacation vacation! Beautiful photos...my fav is the balloon one. I think the colors of Disney pop against the neutral sky :)

  9. As soon as I saw your first shot, I thought Disney - PERFECT for this song! You need another vacation when you return from a Disney trip. I don't think I have every walked more than I did on our trips there. But it was well worth it. You captured my all-time favorite - the Peter Pan ride. Feeling a little nostalgic about that one. Your shots are wonderful - so crystal clear. What lens were you using?

  12. I can only imagine, as it was many many moons ago when I was there and I'm pretty sure there's a ton more walking to be done. And if there is a trick, I don't know about it...they are still awesome, love the last shot!
