This week’s photo is of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, otherwise known as ‘The Tower of Terror’ at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

This is one of my favourite things to take photos of at The Studios, mainly because it is fairly easy to get an awesome looking shot of the tower coming out of the nearby foliage.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t master a photo of it at night – I was generally let down by my camera. I’m hoping to be able to return at some point when I will hopefully have a better camera!

Weird Al’s New Song – Skipper Dan

Lee — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:57:31 +0000

Weird Al has released the music video for his new single ‘Skipper Dan’ on his myspace page.

The video/song tells the story of Dan who doesn’t quite make it into show business as he thought he would, but instead ends up working on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland (something that has probably happened fairly often).

Apart from being a pretty good song, if you’re a disney fan it’s worth a listen, even if it’s just to pick up on those well known lines such as ‘The back side of water’.

I haveen’t got much to say on this weeks photo apart from – I’m so pleased the wand has gone!

This week’s photo was taken on my holiday in Florida during October 2006. The photo is of Expedition Everst in Animal Kingdom. Unfortunately, I’m unable to remember the exact location from which I took the photo.

Expedition Everest

If you look at the photo you can see the train going up the lift hill. I think this photo shows how fantastic the mountain looks and how it stands out from the sky, drawing people over to it.

It has become one of my favourite rides in Disney World, I just wish I would get a chance to see the yeti operating in a full animation mode, rather than the current mode it seems to live in.

This week’s photo is of Cinderella’s Castle and was taken at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World during my holiday in October 2006

Cinderella's Castle

I quite like this photo as because the castle had been closed off ready for the show, there aren’t that many people about, which is quite unusual. The fairly clear sky also helps the castle stand out in my opinion.

It was also one of the few photos I managed to take this holiday where a crane didn’t feature in the background (I believe they were starting to put the lights up ready for Christmas and may have also been removing some of the previous theming that had been applied to the Castle).

I have another photo of Cinderella’s castle which I love which was taken at a slightly weird angle. I’ll probably make that a post in a couple of weeks time.
