Nighttime Disney

Pics from the Pixie is back!  I've been off from school on break, on vacation, and very busy, so I haven't had time to write any posts lately.  But never fear, I'm back :)


For my first post back I thought I'd show some pictures of the beautiful nighttime views at the Disneyland Resort!  The first picture of the day is from Fantasmic!  This shot was taken from Fowler's Harbor near Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion.  It's definitely an interesting spot to watch Fantasmic from if you've seen it lots of times from the regular front view!


I remember seeing Fantasmic for the first time when it premiered about 20 years ago.  I was just a little kid then but we sat in the front right up against the water.  I thought it was literally the COOLEST thing I had ever seen when the water was set on fire!

Next up is a shot from California Adventure!  As I've shown in previous posts, you can always get some cool pictures of the Fun Wheel if you take an extended exposure of the wheel while it is spinning.  This time it was a pretty gold color when I took my picture of it!  Next time you're in the park give it a shot!



Mickey's Golden Magic



Third today is a shot I'd always wanted to take.  I've always admired when people take pretty pictures of Disneyland signs at night and this time I took my own!  A quiet summer night at Disneyland provided the perfect time for me to shoot the Pirates of the Caribbean sign!

Finally I have a shot of Disneyland's icon: Sleeping Beauty Castle!  Each and every night I leave Disneyland I make it a point to turn around and look at the castle one more time before leaving the park.  It's something I love doing and will continue to each time I go to the park!  Anyone else do the same thing? :)
