Three Hours Alone in Disney World

Tweet

This month's topic is What would I do with three hours alone in Walt Disney World. Let me start off by making one thing perfectly clear, I love my family time in the parks. But, I have a passion for photography and when I'm in the parks touring with the family I'm always trying to catch up with them because I'm stopping to take pictures. That's why every opportunity I get I'll grab my camera and set off on solo photo journeys. 

I love shooting the parks at night but since I only have three hours for this task, I'd start at 8:00 am when the lighting is just right.
Each one of the parks holds a photographic fascination for me. 

For my three hour photo shoot I'd head straight to The Magic Kingdom starting at the foot of Main Street, USA where the curtains open up to Main Street, USA. I love capturing the progression in time and how it evolves as you approach the the castle.

I'd concentrate on the details in the turn of the century architecture, with windows and facades, enjoying the music of the Dapper Dans and smells from the bakery. Of course I'd stop for a cinnamon roll and coffee at the Bakery, who could resist?
I'd enjoy shooting all the CMs in action doing their part to make magical moments for guests.
