I was very fortunate to visit Disney World this year during Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival.  I think Disney World does a phenomenal job with landscaping all the time, but for this Festival, they really outdid themselves.  Here are some of my favorite photos from my trip:

What ride at Disney World isn’t in one of the theme parks, doesn’t involve animatronics or rollercoasters, technology, complex engineering, piped-in music or air conditioning, is about as low-tech as you can possibly get, and is one of the oldest forms of transportation known to humankind that doesn’t involve water or flight?  If you can’t [...]

Are you an animal lover as well as a solo traveler?  Or a nature photographer?  A birder, perhaps?  And maybe you’re not quite ready to take the plunge and go on a photo safari to Africa or alone to Costa Rica. You could always get your feet wet by going to Disney World.  Yes, Disney [...]

You know how sometimes, you just get a craving for a good burger and nothing else will satisfy?  That happened to me at Disney World in May.  I was there for a week, and I had amazing, tastebud-tantalizing, flavor-explosion meals every day, but by the end of the week, I craved nothing more than I [...]

I’ve always loved the Morocco pavilion of Epcot’s World Showcase.  It is easily (for me) the most attractive and photogenic “country” in Epcot.

Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World boasts a number of terrific dining choices, including some rather well-known names like Planet Hollywood, House of Blues, and Wolfgang Puck.  This, rather than the shopping available here, makes Downtown Disney a destination for me on every trip to the World.  I have eaten at Wolfgang Puck Cafe (located [...]

The Hollywood Brown Derby, located in the Hollywood Studios park at Walt Disney World, is one of Disney’s signature restaurants.  It is a replica of the real Hollywood’s legendary Brown Derby restaurant, where celebrities would “see and be seen”.  I imagine the dress code at the original was quite strict and it probably attracted a [...]

Some of my favorite photos from my recent trip to Disney World are of the Boardwalk area.  I had  lot of fun just wandering around the Boardwalk snapping photos.  It’s really a beautiful area and worthy of your time when you’re visiting Disney World. Here are a few of my favorite shots.
