It may be the off-season for theme parks right now, but you would never know it based on some of the crowds expected this weekend. Of course, it is a three-day weekend with President’s Day on Monday (although I don’t get it off :p ).… Read More »Things to do in Orlando this weekend
Some of my favorite video footage from Disneyland is the time-lapse footage of the park under construction. Since Disneyland, the Disney Imagineers have made a habit of installing special time-lapse cameras to observe most of their other projects.
