Another one of the gate. No tripod so I used the fence in front of the gate. It worked for one of the half dozen of shots.

You've all seen the bear in the back of the Wilderness Lodge, right? Did you know about the giant robot behind Katura Grill?

IllumiNations just ended. It's time to take the long walk to the front of the park. Be sure to take plenty of photos on the way out.

Did you know that the big castle at the back of the Japan pavilion was based on an actual castle in Himeji? Did you also know that the Himeji castle was restored in the early 2010s? Well, now you know.
