Are you a fan of both Disney Parks and “America’s Funniest Home Videos”?
Then you won’t want to miss this Sunday’s episode of “AFV,” which was filmed in New Fantasyland, right here at Walt Disney World Resort. The maker of this year’s winning video will take home a grand prize that includes a vacation for four to the Walt Disney World Resort, plus a guided vacation with Adventures by Disney to one of 16 destinations.
This episode of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” will air Sunday, May 19, at 7 p.m. EST on ABC.

What do these three photos have in common, besides being taken at Disney California Adventure park? To me, they all show how wind can affect a photo. The wind was blowing really hard when I set out to take photos for this “Disney Parks After Dark” post. This changed what I had hoped to capture – I think for the better.
The spinning windmill at Fillmore’s Taste-In at Cars Land immediately caught my attention. I don’t remember ever seeing it spin that fast before!
For the next photo, of Sarge’s Surplus Hut, I used a flash at full power to stop the motion of the flag.
My favorite of the three is the view of Paradise Bay with Mickey’s Fun Wheel in the background. With a 13-second exposure, the water should be fairly smooth – but if you look closely, you can see what appears to be small waves being pushed by the wind.

Get whistles while you work or play sporting this “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”-inspired outfit. Red jeans are the foundation for the tee, featuring a lovely portrait of Snow White. Then it’s off to work for the dwarfs as they come together to tote your things in the canvas carryall. The bag is large enough to hold all of your essentials, including some Beautifully Disney cosmetics and compact mirror (just in case you need to double check who is the fairest of them all). Snow White also graces the face of the stylish timepiece, with black caviar beading around the bezel and a patent leather strap to complete the look.
