SplashDown Photos

The SplashDown Photos location at the exit of Splash Mountain in the Magic Kingdom is easily overlooked, but packed with fun details for those who take the time to look. The marquee above the entrance features Br'er Bear peeking into a period camera... and Mr. Bluebird peeking right back at him.

The shelves outside the darkroom are stacked high with camera equipment, tripods, photographic paper, trays and bottles of processing chemicals (remember when developing pictures was more of a process than just plugging in a USB cable?).

There are even some already-developed photos hung up to dry. Look closely, and you'll discover lots of appropriate period images as well as a few "animated" subjects:

The pick up area around the corner is a framer's workshop. Note the frames, bits of wood, saws, hammers, T-squares and other tools hung about the space.

Okay, now "Y'all stay put until the picture maker calls your number."
