Daily Photo Tour - The Lamp in Walt's Window


This light will never fade while there are dreams and imagination in the world. May we all strive to be a source of joy and inspiration to others.

Daily Photo Tour - Walt's Place


With so many details in Disneyland, this is definitely one worth taking notice of. This iron monogram adorns the balcony of Walt Disney's would-have-been apartment in New Orleans Square alongside a similar one for his brother, Roy Disney. Though Walt didn't live to see it, his dream of the apartment overlooking the Rivers of America was realized in the Dream Suite. I have not had the opportunity to see it in person (it's on my list, ha!), but there is a concept sketch / photo comparison in the Opera House on Main Street which paints the vivid picture of elegance and beauty. Oh to have a seat on that balcony, take a cue from Walt and dream.

Pinterest


There's a lot of hype about Pinterest right now and for good reason. It is a great way to share a bit about yourself with everyone. What your favorite foods are, what music you listen to and even what inspires you each day to create and to pursue your passion. It is also a great place to meet awesome people who have the same appreciation for things as you do. It's for these reasons we've joined Pinterest. We love meeting new people, discovering other artists and sharing our art with others. So join us here as we pin the world over!

Daily Photo Tour -Wishing Walt Goodnight


The lamp in the window of Walt's apartment serves as a reminder of what a great man Walt was, all the lives he touched and all the dreams that became a reality as a result of him pursuing his own. I have immense appreciation for this, but I often overlook it as we're dragging ourselves out of the park around 1:00am. On this night, I was quite prepared to head home after having been in the rain all day, but was stopped by the incredible reflection of Walt's apartment in the pavement. I just stood there for some time admiring the scene until Matthew and Kevin urged me to get a picture. Grateful for the encouragement, I set up and got my shot, wishing Walt a long overdue goodnight.

Daily Photo Tour - The Light in the Window


Some lights never fade out. The light in Walt's apartment above the Disneyland Fire Department on Main Street is one of them. I love that Disneyland leaves this light on in paying homage to Walt Disney and I love its symbolism. It reminds me that people can have a lasting impact on the world. They can leave a legacy to inspire others. It reminds me that I can be one of those people. I am also reminded of Jesus; that He is risen and He is a light that cannot be hidden, the legacy He has left on my life. Happy Easter.
