Photo Flashback! Details, Details, Details!

When I think of details at Walt Disney World, I think of all the architectural details used in all the attractions.  Every where you go in WDW you probably DON'T see the DETAILS.  Most people see the "big picture" but miss all the little details that make up that picture.

Here are a few pictures I have taken at EPCOT.  None of these have been cropped to make something appear larger.  I just take pictures of the details.  Do you know where these are located in EPCOT?  There is no prize for guessing them all, except for winning the title of Disneyphyle.

EPCOT Detail - 7

EPCOT Detail - 8.....   There is no picture for this one.  But notice the name EPCOT.  I still write it in all capital letters.  Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.  The original name was EPCOT Center when it opened in 1982.  It has changed over the years and is know simply as Epcot now.

Photo Flashback! Cinderella's Stepsisters

The next time you are at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, take a look at the beautiful murals in the castle.  Look carefully at the stepsisters and you'll see that one is red with rage and the other is green with envy.

Photo Flashback! It's the little things

The Growing Up Disney family recently did a team post on why we keep going back to Walt Disney World.  For me, one reason is the little things Disney does to make your day special.  This series of photos was taken in 2008 on Main Street USA as we walked to breakfast at Crystal Palace.  Plenty of people just walked right by this young man.  This custodial Cast Member was "painting" Mickey Mouse, and quite well I might add, on the pavement in water.  It's such a fleeting thing but just one more example of why you need to slow down and take in the details during a WDW vacation.  And I don't know if he was really from Custodial or not, but I do know there are lots of aspiring artists among the rank and file Cast Members.  When I worked at Crystal Palace, one of the other seaters was a talented animator working in the park to pay the bills while he pursued his real passion.
