Mickey's Fun Wheel - Light - Up Fun!


Hello again everyone!

Sorry yet again for my long absence.  I've been extra busy lately finishing up school with my rotations and all, but I've finally found some time in my schedule to blog again!  So, here goes! :)

I posted some pictures the other day of Mickey's Fun Wheel at night.  Something I love to do while waiting for World of Color to start is to put my camera up on my tripod (or a fence if that's what's available) and start taking photos of the Wheel with long exposures.  You can maybe judge the color that your photo will come out by the colors showing up on the wheel, but the surprise is in the patterns! It just depends on how long you let the wheel spin and what pattern the lights are flashing in their lines. It's a neat surprise each time you look at your photo. :)

SO.... onto the pictures!  These were taken prior to me seeing World of Color for the first time.  We had front, I mean FRONT, row seats to the show.  It was just us and the open water in front of us, so I got very spoiled enjoying all the nice pictures I could take.

The first (and my favorite) of this post is a cool blue "strobe" pattern I got off the wheel!  Not sure how the two tones of blue worked out, but I think it looks pretty neat nevertheless!

Next up we have a neat "Golden Glow" coming off the Wheel.  Another funky and enjoyable pattern to look at.

Last for today we have another yellow / orange toned photo (I seemed to get a lot of those that night...), but this one with a simpler, cleaner pattern.

Hope you've enjoyed this trip on Mickey's Fun Wheel!  I promise I'll be back soon with more pics and Disney fun :)

[Mickey's] Fun Wheel Friday

Thought I'd do something new for today's "Friday" post :)


The patterns that you can capture on Mickey's Fun Wheel are so neat!  You never know what you're going to get!  Since the colors and movements of the lights change, you can really get some awesome shots.  Also, photographing the wheel like this gives you something fun to do while waiting for World of Color to start!


Mickey's Fun Wheel is such a pretty icon in California Adventure now!  The big happy Mickey face along with those pretty dancing lights always brighten my day at the park.  I love the sight of that huge ferris wheel and it's even more fun to ride.  So my question for everyone who reads this is: Do you go on the swinging gondolas or the non-swinging ones? :)  Please leave your answer in the comments!!  It would be fun to see what people prefer to ride!


Happy Friday and enjoy!!
