Disney’s Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Ride Picture Gallery

Snow White mine train ride

Today I decided to go to Disney’s Magic Kingdom and take some pictures of the new seven dwarfs mine train ride. That’s the new roller coaster ride they are making in the new Fantasyland section.

It’s based on Snow White and the seven dwarfs and features the diamond mine they worked in. So the roller coaster goes both outside and inside. A lot like the big thunder mountain railroad ride.

I must say I was surprised at how sharp and twisty the rails seem to be. It looks like you will experience some pretty sharp curves and drops. Even a bit more than the Thunder Mountain ride.

Disney’s Snow White Mine Train Ride Ready To Open!

May 1, 2014 by

7 dwarfs mine train ride

For those of you who love Disney’s Magic Kingdom and Snow White, you’ll be happy to know the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride is almost ready to open! It’s located in the new fantasyland area of Disney’s Magic Kingdom theme park.

I have always thought they should make a Snow White and the 7 dwarfs roller coaster, with the main theme being in the diamond mines the dwarfs worked in. Well now they finally made it, and it looks great!

The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will tell the story of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” from the perspective of the dwarfs, taking riders on an indoor-and-outdoor trip, with side-to-side swaying cars. It will go down into the diamond mine, which should be pretty cool.

Disney's Epcot flower and garden festival 2014

It’s been some time since I posted in here, sorry about that. Been very busy with new ventures and life in general. Nothing stays the same you know! As a result I have not updated this site for a bit.

But today I went to Disney’s Epcot flower and garden festival for 2014. I must say it was very pretty there with lots of fantastic flower and garden showcases and exhibits. It was a perfect day, not too many people, even got a sunburn!

I took a ton of pictures, it got hard to decide just what to keep and throw away. They had a lot of very cool Topiaries shaped like Disney characters. That is the practice of making plants and flowers form the shape of a person or animal.

Disney’s Festival Of The Masters Art Picture Gallery 2013

November 9, 2013 by

Disney festival of the masters 2013

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. 😀

Disney Expedition Everest roller coaster picture gallery

Expedition everest ride

I had the pleasure of going to Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park the other day. While there I went on Expedition Everest, the cool roller coaster they have. It was a longer ride than I expected with lots of curves, plunges and surprises.

I decided to make a picture gallery of the ride, plus a lot of the other rides that are close by at Dinosaur land. That’s the area that has a lot of things for little kids to play in and on.

So check out the gallery below and take a peek at Expedition Everest and the other rides and attractions nearby. Make sure you go to Disney’s Animal Kingdom if you have never been, it’s a blast!

Epcot Food And Wine Festival Picture Gallery

October 17, 2013 by

Disney Epcot festival

I just got back from this years Disney’s Epcot food and wine festival. I went today with the main purpose of sampling many of the “round the world” foods you can eat at all the country “marketplaces” they have out.

Those are the little food booths they have out during the festival. What your suppose to be able to do is sample each countries popular, or classic dishes that are known for each country.

Sounds like a great idea! However I must say I was very disappointed. Because they have to deal with masses of people, they basically pick whatever kind of food that will hold up well being mass produced and sitting in a heating table outside all day.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom picture gallery

October 4, 2013 by

Disney's animal kingdom

After more than 5 or so years I finally got around to going back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom the other day. Fall is a great time to go now that the crowds are gone and it’s a bit cooler out.

I had forgot just how big the park is, it really is a big park. Much of it was exactly the same as it was years ago when I last went. But one big new attraction was the Expedition Everest roller coaster.

I got into the single rider line and hopped right on, but even the normal line was only 10 minutes long. In the summer it’s often one to two hours wait time. They did a great job making it look like a real mountain.
