Genie, Jasmine & Aladdan Characters
Made by Scott Hanko
Animated feature about a street-smart young thief in the mythical city of Agrabah who meets and falls in love with the Sultan's beautiful daughter, Jasmine, a liberated young lady who seeks to escape her present lifestyle. Help comes when the evil vizier, Jafar, plots to get a magic lamp for his own rise to power, and decides he needs Aladdin, a true diamond in the rough, to seek the lamp in the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin and his friend, the monkey Abu, gain the lamp and the wisecracking Genie inside for themselves. The Genie changes Aladdin into a prince so he can woo the princess, but the deception fails to impress Jasmine. As his true self, however, he uses his cunning and courage, with the help of the Genie, to defeat Jafar and his evil plans, in the end earning a princely title and the princess. Computer-generated imagery enabled the filmmakers to create the amazing magic carpet ride through the Cave of Wonders, the intricately patterned carpet itself, and the stunning tiger head cave. The idea of adapting the Aladdin story as a Disney animated musical was first proposed by Howard Ashman in 1988 when he and Alan Menken were still working on The Little Mermaid. He wrote an initial treatment and collaborated on six songs with Menken, including Arabian Nights, Friend Like Me, and Prince Ali. After Ashman's death in 1991, Tim Rice came on board to write some additional songs, notably One Jump Ahead and A Whole New World. The art directors were influenced by Persian miniatures and Arabian calligraphy. Supervising animator Eric Goldberg, who created the Genie, was the first animator to work on the project. He was heavily influenced by the curved, fluid caricature style of artist Al Hirschfeld. The film became the highest-grossing animated film up to that time, earning over $200 million internationally. The film also won Academy Awards® for Best Song (A Whole New World) and Best Original Score. The video release in 1993 also set records. Directed by John Musker and Ron Clements. Starring: the voices of Scott Weinger (Aladdin), Robin Williams (Genie), Jonathan Freeman (Jafar), Linda Larkin (Jasmine speaking), Lea Salonga (Jasmine singing), and Gilbert Gottfried (Iago). 90 min. There were two made-for-video sequels: The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Moroccan Pavilion Walt Disney World EPCOT Orlando Fl.


Epcot's Morocco Pavilion
Made by Imagineering My Way
The Morocco Pavilion is part of the World Showcase within Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort. It was the first expansion pavilion to be added to World Showcase, opening on September 7, 1984. The Moroccan Pavilion, designed to look like a Moroccan city with a realistic Minaret, features the only pavilion in which the country's government aided in the design. Guests to the pavilion gain insight on the lifestyle and culture of the Moroccan people through the Gallery of Arts and History. The Fes House shows guests the typical Moroccan house. Inside the pavilion, North African plants including citrus trees, date palms, and olive trees, and fountains. The courtyard plays hosts to entertainment, including a belly dancing show in the evening. Restaurant Marrakesh, along with the Tangierine Cafe, serve Moroccan fare, including roast lamb in Tajine, Couscous, and Harira soup. Six shops adorn the pavilion, selling patrons everything from rugs to leather goods, and traditional Moroccan clothing. Some of the major defining structures of the pavilion include Chellah, a replication of the necropolis in Rabat, and the Koutoubia, a replica of the minaret of the same name in Marrakesh. A replica of Bab Boujeloud, the gateway to the Fez medina leads you to a Bazaar area. King Hassan II actually sent Moroccan artisans to design and create the many mosaics. Due to Islamic religious beliefs on the content of art, the mosaics contain no representations of people. The government also sponsors the pavilion, while a corporation holds sponsoring rights on every other pavilion. The Tower of Terror in Disney's Hollywood Studios is seen at an angle from the Morrocan pavilion, and the top of the Tower is designed so it blends in with the Morrocan architecture.

Unmistakable bokeh - WDW Sept 2008
Made by CodyWDWfan
I have to admit that since I read someone use the term flickr worthy when talking about their photo selection, I've been a bit self conscious about which photos I share. Though I desperately want to take a trip that has a heavy photography emphasis, my three trips so far were more about enjoying the magic with my wife and we always did commando style touring. The unique shots I got were mostly off the cuff, like this one I grabbed while waiting for my wife in the restroom, and I'm running out of them. I've learned so much since, and it's going to be hard to wait two YEARS to get back to WDW (Disneyland next year though!) especially watching the amazing and unique shots all of you are bringing back.. major withdrawals! At least I will have a lot of ideas for next time I guess. And with three little ones in tow, future trips will definitely be slower so more photo time. OK enough of my sob story... I'll bet most of you can tell me where this shot was taken even though most of it is just bokeh ;) Though I'm often annoyed by my Minolta 70-210/4, it definitely has great bokeh for a cheap lens.


Golden Tower
Made by wdwben
I actually did a lot more long-exposure, golden hour photography than I realized. Just now, having learned some tricks using Nik, I've really been able to properly edit the shots. This was just a basic balance, then Pro Tonal and Contrast. After that, the sky looked particularly noisy (I still have to get better about making sure I've got the right ISO set) and so I lasso'd the sky, cut it out as a layer and then hit it with the High Noise tool and then the Sky tool to make it pop. It was a tough balance, the golds were really intense so in my initial balance, I had to go across a fine line, otherwise the tower turned orange. Not exactly what I was going for. Comments and constructive criticism are always appreciated, guys and gals. I just want to be a better photographer! Have a magical day :)


Moroccan Mosaic
Made by wdwben
Disney itself does not scrimp on details. But even for some, Disney's details are not detailed enough. One of those individuals was the king of Morocco when EPCOT's World Showcase was being built. Rather than being contented with whatever Disney built, he flew in his own architects and tilers to make the Morocco pavilion as authentic as possible. This is the ceiling in Restaurant Marrakesh. Look at the ornate woodwork, the beautiful carvings, the tile mosaics, the lamps and little details that really bring this normally dark lobby to light. Comments and constructive criticism are ALWAYS welcomed. To see this shot really pop, just find that L key on your keyboard and give it a good tap for me, will you?


Daily Disney - Morocco
Made by Gary Burke.
I think Morocco is the part of World Showcase that I have explored the least. Usually, when we visit the countries of World Showcase we will sort of glance in at Morocco as we pass by, and that's about it. On this trip, I wanted to walk around Morocco and really took a good look at what this area has to offer. I was very surprised to discover that I really liked the Morocco Pavilion! Photo opportunities abound here! While it has not yet become my favorite part of World Showcase, I will always make sure I go in and explore this very interesting country! This is a 3 shot HDR photo done with Photomatix and then run through Photoshop

I don't know if it is the current spiel but it came with the monorail playset that I have had for a while. Thanks for viewing and have a magical day!

The Sands of Time
Made by Photogineer (Doug)
Well now that I have no more followers (After the April Fools prank). I wanted to continue around World showcase. Morocco was a great area to shoot this last trip. The small details, High Dynamic range areas that are difficult to take really was a challange. Still is was fun and enjoyable to challange myself. I still have not eaten at Marrakesh yet but my sister swears by it. In fact she will be down there on Monday next week giving it another round of reviews. Man am I jealous that I will not be there. Good luck with the boys on there first trip.

Morocco in Epcot
Made by Burnsland (Steve Burns)
A view from Morocco in Epcot's World Showcase at Walt Disney World. As we were walking through the archway, I liked how it framed the palm tree in the adjacent courtyard, so I shot some brackets of it. Because of the narrow passageway, I probably wouldn't have been able to get this without the wide angle lens. Burnsland Blog: Morocco at Epcot / Photographing World Showcase


Someone's at the ...
Made by Rob-Keller
Morocco, Epcot I took this photo during a full day of shooting at Epcot. There were many patches of cloud in the sky so the lighting constantly switched from bright sun to flat, diffused light and back again. I often had to wait for the lighting conditions to changed to get the effect I wanted for a particular shot. The lighting was a little flat when I took this photo, so I bumped the contrast up. No other post-processing was done.

One Night in Casablanca
Made by Jeff_B.
The Baazar at the Morocco Pavilion in World Showcase at EPCOT Center. The Pavilion opened on September 7, 1984 and was the first addition to World Showcase after the park opened in 1982. The Moroccan government was very involved in the design of the pavilion and King Hassan II sent a number of Moroccan artisans to assist in the mosaic work. Please Thanks


Eerie Morocco
Made by Christian Lambert (DVCphoto92)
I discovered the power of Nikon's Capture NX2 today. Although it isn't quite visible in this photo, the power the program has is like no other. Some of these features include more detailed color temperature presets, changing D-Lighting setting in post processing, and extended picture control settings. Thanks for viewing and have a magical day!
