I am continuing my tour of Disney World parks this week, with the final park, Animal Kingdom. I’m also continuing with my then and now photos.
2003 Tara and Baloo (scanned photo) – This was on our first time ever Disney vacation, just months before we moved to Orlando)
2006 – Tara with Baloo! He was always a fun character to see!
As Tara got older, standing in line for a photo with the characters really started to get old for her, so in 2009, during our final visit to Animal Kingdom as Florida residents, I was so lucky to get her to pose with a character we had never seen before, Gov. Radcliffe (from the movie Pocahontas). Also with her is Meeko, from the same movie.
Someone asked if Tara was holding a book in her hand in each photo, and yes, she is. Those are the books we used to get autographs of the characters. We have several of them filled with our over 100 characters.
What fun great shots!
Great shots Martha. I used to love the Jungle Book.I only have one lens, the one that came with the camera. "18-55mm"I hope to get one or two more someday, but for now I just do what I can with what I got.
Fun photos, Martha! We went to Disney last summer but my kids were too old at that point to stand in line for the characters. However, they happily posed with them if we saw them at meal time!So, did you just move to PA this year?
Isn't it fun to stack the years up like that. Lovely young lady you have there!
Great Photos! I love Disney World!!
I've only been once and can't wait to go back!
i can't wait to do something like with with my kids!
Yaay! It's fun she still let you get one more picture. How time flies?!
I love how you have the then and now photos of Tara. Is she holding a book in each of the photos?
Aww what special photos!I bet the autograph books are real treasures!
Fun! I love these "then and now" photos.I like her hair in the first photo, reminds me of my daughters when she was near that age. Cute!
Hoping to get to take my boyz at some point! But the trek from NY is gonna take a lot of planning! Fun to have the pics of her growing up w/them…happy ATWT
Autographs of the characters? I'd never thought of that. Cool.
Oh my gosh! Even autographs!? How cute! Does she have Marvin the Martian's??
More cute Disney pics! Does Tara miss Disneyworld and Florida?
