Here is another shot from later in the fireworks show at Disneyworld.

This is a good example of the cool “line areas” of Disneyworld. They put as much thought into the lines as the do the actual rides themselves. This is the middle part of the line of the Twilight Zone Haunted Hotel ride… it was also very nice that we were the only ones on the ride so we got to take our time and look at all the cool decor.

For some reason this tea looks really good, even though most teas taste the same to me.

Here is a very cool little rollercoasterat Disneyworld.

The clouds at Epcot were rather Disneyesque…

I recently read a funny thing on Boing Boing where a another guy had visited Disney World and had a similar experience to me.  When you go there with your kids for the first time, you discover some secret area of your brain that Disney had been pre-wiring for the past thirty years that suddenly got a shock as soon as I entered the park, releasing an otherworldly flow of endorphins.

I think I like the reflections in the water best in this one.

We found this guy in a perfect reflection pose in the Animal Kingdom. Ethan and I were about to jump out of the jeep to go over and saw off his ivory tusks so we could make some new silverware, but we thought that might be in bad taste.

I thought the textures in the sky and the tower here were kinda nice so I got this shot.

This night was a special night for sure because Ethan lost his first tooth.  It was also  his first time ever at Disney World and the first time to see the fireworks, so it was sort of a perfect storm of magic.

He was very nervous about me pulling out the tooth, so five minutes before the show, I told him the magic of Disney would help me with the extraction.  We both have a bit of wizard in us, anyway, he responded.  I pulled it out and he was shocked… then just sat in awe to watch the fireworks while his dad fired away with the camera.

I took a lot of great shots of the fireworks show.  It was tough to pick a favorite… but this one was right up there.  I hope you enjoy it.

You can’t go wrong with Disney’s main street at night, can you? It’s okay to forgo the extra calories with all that walking… at least that what I kept telling myself.

Also, I didn’t realize before going that the castle changes color every few minutes with tons of different lighting configurations. You can see the warm orange colors in the large version below.
