The Great Disney Light Hunt - a photo on Flickriver

Florida, United States
Walt Disney World Resort
Magic Kingdom
Frontierland
Splash Mountain

While at Walt Disney World in May, Sarah and I participated in D23's 2-day Great Disney Scavenger Hunt. We were initially a little skeptical of it because of the time commitment, but we figured we'd give it a shot. I'll discuss it in more detail later, but in short, it was a wonderful, albeit exhausting time. After we finished our first day in the Magic Kingdom, I felt like I could barely walk.

Once we turned in our books in the MK, Sarah had to use the restroom, and the line for this looked fairly long, so while she was doing that, I figured I'd just rest and enjoy Main Street for a bit. Then I decided to wander up Main Street to capture some photos. I needed to compensate for the photos I “missed” during the day, after all!

As I was taking photos on Main Street, I saw the light. Specifically, some beautiful sun rays peeking out from behind clouds up by Crystal Palace. So I ventured that way. From there, I saw the rays at the edge of Adventureland. To make a long story short, I found myself outside of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad when I received a call from Sarah, asking where the heck I was, as she had just exited the restrooms near City Hall.

I had just wandered to the opposite end of the park without giving it a second thought. Funny how my body no longer realized it was so tired once the prospect of shooting a great sunset was on the table. It’s really a wonder I never got (permanently) lost as a child.
