Wedding Photographer Lawrence Kent in Columbia SC and Augusta GA

On the 3rd and last day of our vacation, we visited the Disney Hollywood Studios.

Just as every Disney Theme Park has a icon, the Hollywood Studios has a huge Mickey sorcerer’s hat.

The first we had to do we the High School Musical Show. Both Lauren and Haley love HSM.

Check out Lauren dancing.

The Tower of Terror ride is always one of my favorite. This was Lauren first time trying it. She wasn’t one bit scared to ride. I tried to get her to ride the Aerosmith Rockin’ Roller Coaster, but that would have to wait for the next trip.

And we also saw the Beauty and the Beast Show. This show is always great!

This is the ceiling in line for the Great Movie Ride. The Great Movie Ride is in a building resembling Mans Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California. I thought it was a cool ceiling.

Gene Autry singing in the rain from the Great Movie Ride.

John Wayne from the Great Movie Ride.

The Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular was also good. Lauren loved the man who played Indiana Jones. I think hes makes a good Indiana Jones.

Here are a few from the parade.

Each park has its own photography store. The Hollywood Studios has The Darkroom.

After we left Hollywood Studios, we went back to the Magic Kingdom to let the girls ride a few rides they love (like Peter Pan). Overall, it was a great trip and a deserved break. It was great to see Mom, Dad, and Amanda again. I can’t wait to the next Disney vacation, which will be later this year more than likely.

On Day 2 we all headed to EPCOT (which in case you didn’t know stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow).

We had a blast at The Seas with Nemo and Friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was such an awesome day. It was cool and we had beautiful skies. Many call it the golf ball. It’s actually a ride named Spaceship Earth. The ‘golf ball’ is a geodesic sphere. An engineering masterpiece.

The Mexico Pavilion is always fun and colorful.

 

 

She’s such a ham. Superstar Lauren!!

Food in Germany is always good!

It starting getting cold and windy and Haley was getting tired.

The Famous Rose and Crown Pub in Great Britian.

Lauren in Canada.

We had dinner at Le Cellier. It’s steakhouse built to replicate the old world resturant in cellars.

A totem in Canada.

Kidcot is where children (and adults) get a paper mask to decorate and then travel to each country and get it stamped and have a unique ornament attached. By the time you get all of the countries it’s a pretty cool site.

The rapids from the Canada Pavilion.

And my favorite shot. I shot this one just as we were leaving. I nailed the exposure. Picture perfect shot.

Day 3 coming up next!

Last Saturday, my mom and dad, sister, grandmother, both my daughters and I started a short vacation at Walt Disney World. Mom, Dad, and my sister Amanda flew down from Syracuse. We arrived late Friday evening and got settled in for three days of fun. My family have been going to Disney World for years. It’s where we prefer to vacation. There is so much to do and see.

It pretty much rained off and on all day Saturday, so I wasn’t able to take as many photos as I liked, but I do have these.

We stayed at the new Pop Century Resort which is based on taking a trip down memory lane celebrating pop culture of the 20th-century. This is the mug you can buy and basically free refills on soda, coffee, tea, juice the entire time you’re there. Awesome deal.

Day 1: Off to the Magic Kingdom.

The front of the resort is lined with these huge ‘POP’ structures. I think there was six total. Kids play on them all the time.

Here’s my dad on the bus to the Magic Kingdom.

Ahh Sir Mickey’s. One of the many shops in the park. This one was in Fantasyland.

And the ever popular ‘It’s A Small World‘. BEWARE: If you ride this one, you’ll be singing or humming the ride tune all day.

Here’s Haley waiting to ride Peter Pan. Her favorite ride. We rode it three times.

Haley on the Mad Tea Party.

I thought this is cool. Popcorn plants growing in front of The Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm.

And Haley got her gun after the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

That was it from Day 1 at the Magic Kingdom. Check back later today or in the morning for Day 2: EPCOT.

Tomorrow, we’re off on a little 4 day vacation. We are meeting my parents and sister at Disney friday night. Ever since I’ve been very little we’ve gone to Walt Disney World. I think this is my 54th trip (I’m sure I’m off a bit, but it’s high). I hope I’ll be able to post some images while we’re there, but if I don’t I’ll definitely have lots upon my return.

Many people disagree, but Disney rocks. It’s got something (well lots of things) for everyone. I never get tired of Disney World. One of my goals before I turn 50 is to visit all of the Disney Theme Parks worldwide.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

I cannot believe I forgot to post some of my photos from Christmas. I guess I got wrapped up in everything and forgot.

Here’s my (left to right) brother, mom, and sister.

My grandpa always puts little trinkets on presents. Both of my kids got a gift with a little train on it.

Here’s my dad. He’s always videoing everything. Ever since I can remember he did. I remember the 20 pound giant VHS Beta Recorder from long ago.

Lauren dancing.

Lauren is always so willing to smile for me. She’s a dream!

Lauren had to have shoes like Dad, except mine aren’t pink and don’t have sparkling butterflies.

And my chef Haley. She absolutely loved this one. I think she wore it all day.
