Disney World Outside the Resorts & Parks & Springs

[zackiedawg]

Here's the place where you can post those outside Walt Disney World grounds shots that have no other place - got a shot that's not in a resort, not in Disney Springs, not in a park - just somewhere else within the sprawling grounds of Disney World? Maybe a shot of one of the lovely firehouses? Maybe the entrance gates as you drive in? Maybe something from the ESPN Sports Complex? Maybe a wild forest or lake coastline? Abandoned shots of Discovery Island or River Country? Maybe you've braved bringing a camera to one of the two water parks? Post them here!

Here's one of the Disney firehouses - my favorite one:

A generic early morning sunrise shot over the back Bay Lake - out towards the open shoreline beyond Fort Wilderness, with one of the first morning boats headed to the parks:

I never have the actual camera out of the bag when driving up to Disney, but the P&S or phone is handy when coming through the gate:

Looking all the way out east over Bay Lake from BLT:

Fort Wilderness boat headed the other way in the early morning - out in the middle of the lake:

The is what the pirate ship on Discovery (Treasure) Island looked like about 20 years ago:

This is what it looked like last year:

Deer grazing along the dead-end pathway from Magic Kingdom to the canal where they park the Electric Boat Parade floats halfway to Grand Floridian:

Technically, this is CURRENTLY a view outside of the parks and resorts, though it will soon be inside a park. This is a peek at the Tron construction area beyond the railroad tracks at Magic Kingdom, as seen from the Peoplemover (by the way, there's an easter egg in this photo - sitting on the 3rd tree stump from the right is a red-shouldered hawk eating a mouse. Really!):

And this is an update shot...STILL technically outside the park while under construction. The Tron ride track fully visible from the Peoplemover:

The far shore of Bay Lake to the east - where Golden Oaks is now, and on to the horizon:

This is a shot of Marketplace, from outside the parks and resorts - taken from the Buena Vista Palace (including the Buena Vista Palace's pool, lake, and lower buildings):
