Today’s pictures come from Disney’s Polynesian Hotel. This is probably one of the least decorated hotels at Christmas time which is ok because the lobby is so cool even without the decorations. The lobby has a large tropical plant area with waterfalls that takes up two stories. For Christmas, they […]
Tonight’s photos are a couple more from the Grand Floridian Hotel. The Grand Floridian Hotel is definitely the most elegant and fancy of the Disney World hotels and was very tastefully decorated for Christmas. I love the ceiling and chandeliers and it required using the fisheye to show off the […]
Tonight I have three more shots of the Christmas Displays in the downtown St Petersburg area. Again, these are from last year and may be a little different this year. The first shot is another shot of Straub Park where the main display is located. The trees are decorated year-round […]
