Disney World App Review – Fireworks Photography Field Guide
We have all been there, taking in the awe-inspiring fireworks at the spectacular Disney Parks night shows but can’t seem to get a great picture. Sometimes blurry, or stringy, or just lacking clarity and focus. Want to fix that no matter what camera you take with you to the parks? This app from PowWows.com is for you!
Available in the app store for only $1.99 you can get this app on iPhone and iPod touch. It gives you step by step instructions for not only what you need to take great photos but tips on how to achieve them while you are in the Parks! My only regret while reviewing this is that I can not take a few pictures now that I have all these pointers to show you how the guide can be put to use!
The guide takes you through camera gear and settings, and the app also features examples, tips, and composition input. It really is unobtrusive as far as taking up space, runs very smoothly, and should be an essential on your “must-have” Disney World app list! I feel confident that my photography has improved just sitting on my couch going through the options, features, and tips!
Top 5 Magic Kingdom Hidden Details
Anyone who has been to Walt Disney World knows that Disney specializes in the details; and I’m always on the look-out for new details or hidden Disney magic that isn’t so easy to find! Today I’m sharing with you my favorie Magic Kingdom hidden details that I have discovered on my visits to the park. Enjoy!
5. Cinderella’s Wishing Well-Located on the path running around the castle near Tomorrowland, you will find a wishing well sitting just off the path facing the castle! You can tell by its details that this wishing well definitely belongs to Cinderella and it makes a great photo spot! Also, the money tossed in the well goes toward charity. Truly magical!
4. Pirate Chess Game-Hidden inside the queue for Pirates of the Caribbean, locked in a cell, be sure to look for two pirate skeletons playing chess! Not only is this fun to find; but chess pros will know that the game pieces are arranged into a deadlock. No wonder they died sitting at the board! How do you know how to find this hidden detail? When waiting in line, look through the prison bars and look down!
3. Cinderella Fountain-Tucked in a corner in Fantasyland, just behind Cinderella Castle, you will find a fountain featuring Cinderella herself! This sweet fountain is a big hit with little princesses; and those of a shorter stature will see that the pattern behind the fountain makes a crown behind her head when viewed at the right angle!
2. Disney’s Coat of Arms-On the front and back of Cinderella Castle, keep your eyes up to find a seal displaying the Disney Coat of Arms. What a great detail and homage to the man responsible for it all!
1. Gus and Jacque-When waiting for to take your picture with Cinderella at Cinderella’s Royal Table, keep your eyes up! Perched above your head are two familiar friends looking over Cinderella, her loyal mice friends, Gus and Jacque!
Have you seen any of these hidden details during your visits to the Magic Kingdom?

Capturing Disney in Pictures: A Fan’s Trip to Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom; tiger nap time.
Every photo has a story.
Chip & Company fan Maleah Moskoff, the owner of www.chachatea.net, made a recent trip to Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom last September. Maleah said of their theme park visit, “We always arrive at the opening hour of Animal Kingdom and head straight to the safari. After the safari, we walk through Asia and hope to catch tiger feeding time.” On this particular trip, Maleah snapped the above photo when they came across the tiger’s nap time.
Animal Kingdom: No butts about it...
Picture this…Right after their opening hour arrival at Animal Kingdom, Maleah took this shot of three rhinos. ”The lighting is great early in the morning, and the animals are just waking up. Plus, it’s not too hot yet. I love the picture of the three rhinos, and I may even have that framed. Our friends think we went to Africa when they see our Disney safari photos.”
Thanks, Maleah, for sending in your photo and your story, and thank you Chip & Company fans for coming along for a photographical ride!

Capturing Disney in Pictures: A Fan’s Rainy Day View of Cinderella Castle
Rain drops keep fallin' on my Mickey hat.
Every Photo has a story…
Chip & Company fan Sandra Rudolph spent three days at the beginning of last October at Walt Disney World. Sandra described her trip as “learning how to do Disney monsoon style. Even cast members were saying they had never experienced so much rain.”
Picture this…Sandra said that while their Disney trip wasn’t ruined by ponchos and sloshy tennis shoes, the bad weather did put a bit of a damper on the vacation. Sandra snapped this beautiful Cinderella Castle photo from Tomorowland early one morning after a fun breakfast at the Crystal Palace. ”We stepped out to see the clouds lifting and the promise of a beautiful day.”
Thanks, Sandra, for sending in your photo and your story, and thank you Chip & Company fans for coming along for a photographical ride!
