Week 10: Experiencing the Magic

Friday night resulted in a last-minute trip to Disneyland, complete with Monte Cristo's, the firework show, and of course Fantasmic. I was with a friend who had never experienced any of the above, which made it even more exciting to watch her reactions as she discovered the uniqueness of each. This is the part of Fantasmic where the pirate ship comes out with Peter and Hook high above the rest of the cast as Wendy watches anxiously from below. Not only is the lighting incredible in this entire production, but this accidental capturing of light in the photograph was particularly magical. One of the spotlights from behind was shining through which created a sun flare effect, creating a glow around the entire photograph, and consequently blurring the heads of the audience members in front of me. To me this really captured the magic of Disney and the ability the creative team there has to sweep audiences away into a world of imagination and fantasy. PS my friend loved the whole thing! There's something to be said about that Disney touch.
