Wordless Wednesday: It All Started With A Mouse

Hi Disney photography fans. Welcome to The Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop here at Focused on the Magic where each week we get together to share our #DisneySide vacation photos.

This week's theme is "Photo Flashback".
I like to challenge myself to try new things when I'm on a Disney adventure. I've tried new foods, stepped outside my comfort zone on rides and attractions and pushed my photography skills. This HDR (high dynamic range) photo was my first taken during one of those self imposed photo challenges in Walt Disney World. I started with Mickey because well "...it all started with a mouse".

"I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse." - Walt Disney

Would you like to link up your #DisneySide photos and hop with us? We have a theme each week that you can follow along with if you'd like and your links can be from your blog, Instagram, Flickr, Twitter, Tumblr or SmugMug. You get the idea. The Link-up is at the bottom of this post.

turned 86 years old yesterday and since he is the Leader of the Gang we thought it would be fun to share our Mickey Mouse memories (in pictures) with you.
I couldn't choose just one so here are a few of my favorite Mickey pictures.
Everybody neat and pretty? Then, on with the show!

Disney Wordless Wednesday and a Bit of Disney History

Welcome friends and thanks for stopping by The Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop here at Focused on the Magic.com where each week we gather with Disney Bloggers to link up and share our #DisneySide Wordless Wednesday vacation picture posts.The theme this week is, History.

I chose to share a bit of Disney History with my pictures this week. If you are a Disney fan I'm sure you know this bit of trivia but I thought I'd share it just in case you missed it in all your Disney trivia reading.
The bronze Partners Statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse is located in the hub of the Magic Kingdom and is one of the most popular photo spots in Disney World. I find it almost impossible to walk by day or night and not take a picture of it.

Character Fun Day Sunday ~ Favorite Classic Characters

Today I'm joining my friend Jess from Magic, Memories and Mayhem in a new hop, The Character Fun Day Sunday Blog Hop. The theme this week is My Favorite Character.

Choosing a favorite character for me is a lot like choosing my favorite dessert.
I love them all!

After giving it some thought I decided to break my choice down to the classic characters. When we're visiting Walt Disney World the classic characters are always my favorites to see.
Mickey Mouse is first on my favorites list followed closely by Donald Duck Goofy and Mickey's sweetheart Minnie.
Here they all are performing in the Dream Along With Mickey, musical show held at the Castle Court Stage.
It's a fun filled magical show as “happily ever after” comes alive before your very eyes!

Tiggerific Trivia ~ Partners Sharing the Magic

Today I'm joining in on the Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia Blog Hop. It's fun to share and learn a little bit of Disney trivia each week. If you are a Disney fan I'm sure you know this but I thought I'd share, just in case you missed it in all your Disney trivia reading.

The bronze Partners Statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse is located in the hub of the Magic Kingdom and is one of the most popular photo spots in Disney World. I find it almost impossible to walk by day or night and not take a picture of it.

It depicts Walt pointing down Main Street, USA. Some believe he's pointing to the future and others believe he's pointing to the the Sharing the Magic statue that is usually located in Town Square, depicting Roy O. Disney sitting with Minnie Mouse on a park bench. Both statues were expertly sculpted by veteran imagineer Blaine Gibson who was also an animator on many classic Disney films.

Next time you're in the Magic Kingdom stop and take a closer look at some of the details. That is after you've taken a few pics.

Upon closer inspection of his tie clasp you'll notice the letters STR. The letters STR represent The Smoke Tree Ranch, a development in Palm Springs, California, where Walt Disney had a vacation home.

This fun WDW trivia is republished from an article I wrote for the DisneyPhotosBlog.
Have a Tiggerific Day!
