New Video Posted: Baltimore Departure

A new video has been posted to YouTube.  It's a video of the cruise ship departure from the Port of Baltimore.   My goal is to get a series of these overtime.  I want to add Boston, New York, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and maybe some others.

The video is in 1080p and can be viewed here.

New Video Posted: Royal Caribbean Grandeur Grand Suite in 1080p

A new overview of a Grand Suite on the Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas has been posted to YouTube.  A detailed written overview will be coming soon too.

The video is in 1080p and can be seen here.

New Video Posted: 2011 Disney World Montage!

A decent montage of different clips from Disney World has been posted to YouTube.  This montage has some of the typical ride footage but it also has some fun out of the way clips from the entertainment you run into in Disney World.

The whole thing is in 1080p HD.

You can see the video HERE.

New Video Posted: The Tiki Room in 1080p

A video of the Tiki Room has been posted to YouTube.  It's in 1080p so you can see all of the colors really pop if you take the time to download that version.

There is something about the old Tiki Room that puts a smile on your face.  Seeing this really brought me back to the first few times I ever went to Disney World.

You can see the video HERE.

A Last Ride on Snow White

The Scary Adventure of Snow White was a ride that scared more kids that Alien Encounter ever did.  Why?  Because it was around a lot longer than Alien Encounter.  The witch freaked a lot of kids out.  It's almost sad that kids will need to find another way to get freaked out in the Magic Kingdom.

I'm sure there are some people out there who loved this ride.  For those people I have something.  I've posted a video of the ride in 1080p on YouTube.  It was taken back in October.  If you loved this ride go ahead and check it out.

Good bye Snow White.

New Video Posted: Spaceship Earth in 1080p

Spaceship Earth is a much beloved ride.  From time to time Disney overhauls parts of it but the general theme of the ride has remained unchanged since it opened. 

I remember when I was a kid I didn't believe that a ride could be housed inside that big globe.  After going on it for the first time I wanted to go again.  Even as a kid I realized how detailed Spaceship Earth was.

Another thing that I love about this ride is it's connection to the original Epcot.  The "edutainment" of the original Epcot is still alive and well when you ride Spaceship Earth.   We can thank the structural design for this.  Very little can be changed about the layout of the ride.  This was discovered years ago when Michael Eisner wanted put a roller coaster inside of Spaceship Earth.  Sometimes it's good when an idea fails.

New Video Posted: Malestrom

Malestrom is an old school boat dark ride.  I first rode it as a child.  Back then I thought it was awesome and made my parents go on it multiple times. 

Over the years Malestrom has really aged.  It turns out that it's not one of the classic rides that doesn't age.  However it's not the same as the movie that follows it. Nothing aged worse than the film after Malestrom. 

I'm glad I caught this ride while I could.   Some day it won't be there anymore.

New Video Posted - Main Street Philharmonic

I've been to Disney World a number of times.  At this point you'd think there was nothing left for me to experience.  After more than a dozen times you'd think I would have seen it all.  WRONG!!

The Main Street Philharmonic.  If you have not seen this fun show you need to.  It's a nice offbeat show that most people wouldn't even stop to check out (as seen in the video).  However, if you stop and see the Main Street Philharmonic you will not be disappointed.   It's a fun, goofy show that won't disappoint.

New Videos - The Haunted Mansion in 1080p

I posted two new videos to YouTube.  The first one is for the the stretching mansion at the Haunted Mansion.  The second one is the ride portion of the Haunted Mansion.

Keep in mind that the ride portion is very dark. Even considering that it's still a fun video.

You can see the Stretching Room here.

You can see the ride portion here.

Both are in 1080p.

Video Posted: Broke Splash Mountain in 1080p HD

Splash Mountain is one of the best rides in Disney World.  Sadly it's currently in possibly the worst shape in it's history. Many of the animatronics are broken, many of the water effects are out of order,  some of the lighting effects are not working, and it's in need of a paint job.

In the video you can see HERE I try to point out some of the glaring issues.  In time Disney will bring down Splash Mountain for a much needed rehab. You won't see it this year because Big Thunder is going down for a rehab.  You might see it in the winter of 2013 once a good chunk of the Fantasy Land expansion is open.

2010 Disney Montage!

The best Disney montage video EVER...this week...has been posted to YouTube. The video is set to the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves theme and was filmed in 1080p.

I don't want to hear any complaints. I know all this footage is from February and yes it took me five months to get around to editing this.

If you like it, rate it or leave a comment on YouTube.

New Video: Pirates of the Caribbean

A video of Pirates of the Caribbean has been posted on YouTube. This video was taken in March of 2010. The original video was in 1080p. You'll notice that the smoke screen video at the start of the ride was broken when we were on this. A few days later it was working again.

This is the Walt Disney World version which puts the video under six minutes once I edited it.

I filmed this without using a view finder so the quality isn't fantastic but it's far better than what my old camera could do.

The video can be viewed here.
