Disney’s Festival Of The Masters Art Picture Gallery 2013

November 9, 2013 by Orlando Vacations

I thought I’d share a new Disney’s Festival Of The Masters Art Picture Gallery 2013 with you today. This year it took me by surprise, I did not even know it was this weekend until the other day.

I headed over there at noon and found the worst traffic I have ever encountered at the Disney Marketplace. That is because Disney is doing major construction on it and most normal parking spots are gone while they build a new parking garage.

I finally parked across the street and walked over. It was a bit smaller this year, all over on the west side of the marketplace. Most vendors where the same I had seen last year with only a few new ones.

I got one lady upset who told me not to take pictures. What? You set up your art in the middle of the Disney marketplace, the most public spot you can find, and think people are not going to take pictures?

Heck while she was talking to me I saw 3 others snap pics of her art with their phones. Sorry but if your going to display your art work in a public setting you should expect people to take pictures,,, LOTS of them!

Anyways here’s a picture gallery I made of this years Disney’s Festival Of The Masters Art Picture Gallery 2013. So enjoy,,,, and yes,,, the ladies picture is in here somewhere. 😀

To use this picture gallery, click on the first picture and the picture show will start. Click the arrow in the right bottom corner to go to the next picture. Click inside the picture at any time to exit the picture gallery.

ICE At Gaylord Palms 2013

November 4, 2013 by Orlando Vacations

It will soon once again be time for the ICE show, located in the giant Gaylord Palms resort in Kissimmee. For those who don’t know, each year Gaylord palms trucks in hundreds of tons of ice around the holidays.

The award-winning ICE! attraction is carved by a team of 40 artisans from Harbin, China. The talented artisans spend more than a month in Kissimmee/Orlando creating this one-of-a-kind attraction.

Harbin is best known for its annual International Ice and Snow Festival, where more than 2,000 sculptors annually carve a 100-acre walk-through ice park, using ice from the nearby Songhua River.
