Marie and I are thrilled to announce that are daughter, Rosalie came into into the world on February 23rd at 11:01 PM.

Here are a few photos of our new family and her first days. I think you’ll agree, she’s lovely.

Many people don’t realize that the model they pass of the city of the future while riding the Tomorrowland Transit Authority is Disney’s original model for EPCOT. (Long before it became just a theme park called Epcot.)

You only see it while you’re moving an it’s dark, making it very difficult to photograph. FINALLY got a decent capture thanks to fast glass and a hi ISO.

The Roger E. Broggie pulls into the Main Street Station at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

I never buy them, but I always love to see them. The balloon vendors on Main Street USA are as much a part of the show at the parade that travels the same street.

Unedited iPhone image of Paradise Pier at Disney’s California Adventure Park. Taken at Sunset on Sept 4th as they were getting set up for the Magical World of Color Show. This was the evening after the Disneyland Half Marathon.

Imagineers called them “visual weenies”; striking pieces of architecture that pull guests towards them deeper into the parks. Cinderella’s Castle is, perhaps, the most iconic visual weenie of all time.

FINALLY found a decent angle that didn’t have that blasted crane in it!

Back to basics. I don’t remember anything about, mice, storks, feathers, or big eared elephants when I was learning Aerospace Engineering.

The top of the Dumbo attraction in Fantasyland.

Just before Splash Mountain where Adventureland meets Frontier Land weary travelers are directed on.

They may call it Mickey’s Philharmagic, but we all know the real star of the show is Donald.
