There are a lot of Walt Disney World construction\u00a0photos, but many are from the air. \u00a0Unless Disney allows me to bring a quadcopter \u00a0into the park I’m going to have to stick to using ground photos, so\u00a0when I found this one on imagineeringdisney.com<\/a> I knew I had a great option on my hands to use for a Window To The Past<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Liberty<\/a><\/p>\n

We had trouble finding this building and I even asked a gentleman working in Liberty Square if he recognized it\u00a0but he didn’t. \u00a0While walking around and comparing every building in sight\u00a0to the photo, I finally noticed the building in the background on the right – it is the Riverboat Dock. \u00a0The tower and front of the building matched up – now we had something to go on.<\/p>\n

More walking, and now with a proper direction to look in. \u00a0Finally I found it, but there were some discrepancies – the buildings were not an exact match and neither was the brick wall. \u00a0There seems to always be construction going on somewhere in the park, so I figured it was possible that the original buildings had been renovated. \u00a0It was the best option I found, so it was time to take the shot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When it was time to line everything up on the computer I just wan’t happy with it. \u00a0The alignment and angles were \u00a0not close enough for this to be the correct location, but I knew I was close – it’s not like they moved the dock. \u00a0Unfortunate I live 1200 miles from Disney World, so what do I do now?<\/p>\n

Google Maps to the rescue!<\/p>\n

It only took a moment to see what I did wrong. \u00a0I was off by about 75 feet and in front of the completely wrong building. \u00a0Google’s satellite view shows the correct building behind the one in the photo above. \u00a0The outline of the building matches what we see in the original photo, including the location of the chimneys. \u00a0The brick wall is there and riverboat dock is even correctly in line – I found the right location:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"LIberty<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately the photos don’t always work out on the first attempt. \u00a0This just means I have to go back to Disney and shoot this one again. \u00a0I don’t see a problem with that.<\/p>\n
