Some more pictures from my hotel hopping day at Disney. As I said yesterday, the Grand Floridian Hotel was definitely the most decorated. The lobby itself is already very ornate and nicely but at Christmas, the decorations put it over the top. Besides the approximately 40 foot tall Christmas tree, […]

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge at Christmas
This week I dropped my wife, kids, and mother in law off at the Magic Kingdom and went hotel hopping. I wanted to take pictures of the Disney hotels as they were decorated for Christmas. I was able to entertain myself for the better part of the day doing this. […]
St Petersburg Christmas Lights
Tonight I headed over to St Petersburg to capture some of teh Christmas displays over there. First stop is the house on Oakdale St. This place has a massive display and has been rated one of the 3 best displays in the United States for the last couple of years. […]
Christmas Tree and Different View
I have shown several different wide angle shots of this tree, but here is the up close and personal version. This is the Christmas Tree in Curtis Hixon Park in downtown Tampa. I wish they would have put it down by the water so that I could get a reflection […]
Disney Christmas Decorations
A few more of the decorations from the Disney hotels from our recent trip. These shots are from the yacht Club and the Boardwalk Resort. I really liked the sitting area in the lobby of the Boardwalk. I do regret that I did not get a straight on angle number […]
Platt Street Christmas and Hyde Park Village Tree
My second favorite viewpoint in Tampa, the Platt Street Bridge view. I keep going back to this because the changing lights on both the bridges and the top of the Suntrust tower make it a little different each time. On the way home I took several shots of the Hyde […]
Two shots, one spot
The two photos tonight were taken from one spot. The first shot is of Curtis Hixon Park and the Tampa Museum of Art across the Hillsborough River. I love the reflections. The Museum of Art is hard to capture because of the color and brightness contrast. You can also see […]
Christmas at Disney
Disney definitely goes all out for the holidays and especially Christmas. All of the hotels are decorated to varying degrees as are the parks themselves. We stayed in Boardwalk which had a large Christmas tree out back and a huge gingerbread display in the lobby. I also visited the Yacht […]
Christmas in Tampa
Sticking with the theme of Christmas in Tampa tonight. The first shot is from Lykes Gaslight Park. I liked the path with the Christmas lights on both sides. The second shot is from Hyde Park Village. This is the Christmas tree in the main village area. It changes many colors […]
Boardwalk and Epcot
In the lobby of the boardwalk resort was this gingerbread creation. It was made of 2012 gingerbread pieces, 301 pounds of chocolate, and 50 pounds of icing. Pretty impressive. I could spend several days just photographing the different hotels and their decorations. The second shot is from Norway on the […]
