Carthay Circle Theatre – Coming soon to Disney California Adventure

Since much of Disney California Adventure has been boarded up and under construction for quite some time, I have not spent much time at the park during the massive expansion project. My goal has been to wait until it’s complete before really checking out the new changes. However, I made an exception yesterday and decided to check on the progress of the expansion.

The openings of Buena Vista Street and Cars Land is still a month away, so much of the park is still behind construction walls. It is obvious is that much of the landscape has changed at DCA, including this new sight of the Carthay Circle Theatre standing proud in front of park icon, Tower of Terror.

Move over, Hollywood Tower Hotel because there’s a new icon in town!

Cinderella Castle at Twilight

Today’s Daily Disney Photo was taken at twilight after a rainstorm this past weekend at the Magic Kingdom. I was hanging out with contributor to the site Brett Kiger and also about to meet up with Larry White, who has also contributed to the site. We had a fun night, and when passing by this scene, neither one of us could resist grabbing a shot. Does this classic shot ever get old? I don’t think so, especially since we all have multiple versions of it in our collection. There is something about this spot that makes anybody want to stop and take a photo. Next week we will show you what it looks like to photograph Wishes from this same location! Technical Details This shot was taken with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens. Focal Length: 17mm Aperture: f/7.1 Shutter Speed: 1/10 ISO: 400 Conclusion Make sure to check out our other article from today from Adam, and all the other great articles and tutorials here on Disney Photography Blog and also our Disney Photography Forum.

Sidewalk Art: Disney Cast Members Drawing with Water

It does take you by surprise though the first time you see them drawn on the sidewalk using water. Chances are you have seen these water drawings before and you know how cool they are. Really, who doesn’t like sidewalk art created using water!

Roy Disney and Minnie Mouse Sharing the Magic

Today’s Daily Disney Photo is one that was taken today! I was in the parks for a few hours, and this is one of the shots I produced while I was in the Magic Kingdom! This statue is the counterpart to the Partners statue of Walt Disney & Mickey Mouse down by Cinderella Castle. I think this one gets overlooked, and should be photographed more, and just overall appreciated more. Roy was just as big a part of making everything happen as Walt was, he just didn’t crave the spotlight. I’m glad he’s memorialized here in the park in a more subtle way, which was just his style. Technical Details This was shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lens. The settings for this shot were: Shutter Speed: 1/2500 Aperture: f/5 ISO: 250 Focal Length: 160mm. Conclusion Be sure to check out our post from earlier today where Adam outlined the steps in creating a Black & White fireworks photo of IllumiNations. Also, stop by our Disney Photography Forum and join in on the discussion or post a photo of your own.
