A podcast (mostly) about #Disney but honestly, we nerd out on anything. Have a listen. @cbgrey.bsky.social and @dizwiz.bsky.social
Straight up under Spaceship Earth's geodesic sphere — 11,324 triangles overhead. #SpaceshipEarthSunday #EPCOT #SpaceshipEarth #WaltDisneyWorld
Jungle Cruise has been running tours since Disneyland's opening day in 1955 — still one of the handful of original attractions still standing. #JungleCruise #Disneyland #DisneylandResort #Adventureland
The entrance canopy at Mission: Space curls overhead like a wave frozen mid-swirl, with the Moon looming large just beyond the doors. Space feels a little closer once the sun goes down. #FisheyeFriday #MissionSpace #EPCOT #WaltDisneyWorld
Cinderella Castle and a full moon, January 2001 — one of the first shots off my brand-new Olympus Camedia C-990 Zoom, a blistering 2 megapixels. The castle is now back to a very similar color. The more things change the more they stay the same #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #CinderellaCastle #MagicKingdom
The Mission:Space marquee glows against a painted Earth, sending guests toward Mars since 2003. #MissionSpace #EPCOT #WaltDisneyWorld
A thirteen-star flag joins the stars and stripes on this Main Street lamppost, right outside the Magic Shop's "Jokes" sign. Turn-of-the-century Americana, dressed up under a cloudless sky. #MainStreetUSA #Disneyland #DisneylandResort
A full-size AT-AT has stood guard over the Star Tours queue in Echo Lake since 1989 — the original Ewok Village gateway. #StarTours #EchoLake #DisneysHollywoodStudios #StarWars
Spaceship Earth's geodesic triangles catching the afternoon sun, framed by palm fronds and a sky full of clouds. #SpaceshipEarthSunday #EPCOT #SpaceshipEarth #WaltDisneyWorld
The Tree of Life rises over Harambe, its trunk carved with more than 300 animals from root to canopy. Looking straight up through the branches is still one of the best angles in Animal Kingdom. #TreeOfLife #AnimalKingdom #DisneysAnimalKingdom #WaltDisneyWorld
Buena Vista Street after dark, and the Red Car Trolley is still the best-lit thing on the block. The "Buena Vista St." placard glows against the clouds rolling in. Old Hollywood never looked so electric. #BuenaVistaStreet #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure #RedCarTrolley #DCA
Skyway overhead, tournament tents below. There was something so vibrant about Fantasyland in 1987. Who else misses hearing the Skyway cables hum above as you walked past "it's a small world"? #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #WDW #WaltDisneyWorld #Fantasyland #RetroWDW #VintageDisney #DisneyParks
Standing inside Walt Disney’s working office at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank was an unforgettable moment during our studio tour. #WaltDisney #WaltDisneyStudios #Burbank #DisneyHistory #D23 #DisneyGram
Entering the Grid. Capturing the light trails and futuristic canopy geometry underneath TRON Lightcycle / Run at night. #TRON #TRONLightcycleRun #Tomorrowland #MagicKingdom #WaltDisneyWorld #WDW #DisneyPhotography
Monorail Lime reporting for Nova Corps duty. Happy #MonorailMonday from Epcot! #EPCOT #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy #WDW #WaltDisneyWorld
Looking across the heart of Future World. Celebrating #SpaceshipEarthSunday with a view from May 1991, looking past the vibrant flower beds toward the majestic Fountain of Nations. #EPCOT #FountainOfNations #CommuniCore #RetroDisney #WaltDisneyWorld #WDW
Three decades of celebration at the point that started it all. From the gold of the 50th, to the diamond dust of the 60th, to the timeless grace of the 70th. 71 years of imagination. Happy Birthday, Disneyland! #Disneyland71 #Disneyland #SleepingBeautyCastle #DisneyHistory
Stepping through the turnstiles into 1991. Before it was Hollywood Studios, it was Disney-MGM Studios—complete with the classic Mickey planter at the entrance and the Earffel Tower standing tall in the distance. #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #DisneyMGMStudios #RetroDisney #WaltDisneyWorld #WDW
Golden hour at the most magical place on Earth. Finding a quiet moment along the castle pathways when the sun hits the water just right is pure magic. #MagicKingdom #CinderellaCastle #WaltDisneyWorld #WDW #DisneyParks #GoldenHour #DisneyPhotography
Saying a quick hello to Harold. Getting a crisp shot of the Matterhorn’s resident Abominable Snowman while flying down the track is always a challenge, but those glowing red eyes make it worth the attempt. #Disneyland #Matterhorn #MatterhornBobsleds #Fantasyland #Yeti #Disney #DisneyPhotography
Clearing the beam for the week ahead. Happy Monday from Tomorrowland! #MonorailMonday #Disneyland #Tomorrowland #DisneyGram #Monorail
The ultimate EPCOT view. Between the crisp morning clouds, the sun behind Spaceship Earth, and Monorail Red gliding past the pylons, all the pieces lined up pretty well for this shot. #SpaceshipEarthSunday #EPCOT #SpaceshipEarth #WaltDisneyWorld #WDW #Monorail #DisneyPhotography
Just another quiet day at the Worldwide Engineering Brigade... until the Spider-Bots get loose. Caught Spidey hanging around Avengers Campus during my West Coast trip! #AvengersCampus #SpiderMan #WEBSLINGERS #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure #DCA #DisneyPhotography
Dusting off the camera roll and getting back into orbit. Orbiting Tomorrowland is always better after dark. Happy to be back to regular posting! 📸: Nikon Z6III 📍: Disneyland Park #Disneyland #Tomorrowland #AstroOrbiter #LongExposure #DisneyPhotography #NightPhotography #Starport75
Finally getting somewhat back to normal after our trip to LA a few weeks ago. An incredible highlight of the trip was being there when Walt's Barn was open and having the opportunity to meet and take a photo with the one and only Bob Gurr! He is the nicest person in the world!
I like the mid-century modern look that #Tomorrowland has been undergoing the past few years. So, I was thrilled to see the new Astro Fizz stand. Everything about it gives off groovy vibes. #DisneyWorld #MagicKingdom
Early morning in Epcot, with the monorail bringing in guests to enjoy the day. #SpaceshipEarthSunday #Monorail #Epcot #DisneyWorld
Well, I guess this qualifies for #ThrowbackThursday, even though I took this less than two months ago. 🎢🎸
Visited @cbgrey.bsky.social in January and we went to Walt Disney World. I'm going to share some of my photos from that trip in the coming days. Let's start with a shot of the neon signs on Hollywood Blvd in DHS at dusk.
For #SpaceshipEarthSunday a trip back to May 1991 by Universe of Energy, watching monorail yellow pass through Future World. Ahh...good times.
