My Tiny Planet Photo the Lobby of The Hollywood Tower Hotel

Hidden Details of Disneyland: VR 360 look at the Home of The Little Man of Disneyland

One of my favorite Hidden Details at Disneyland is the home of The Little Man of Disneyland! Oh, you haven't heard of The Little Man of Disneyland? Let me tell you the story.

Once upon a time, there was a sleepy little town filled with orange groves, called Anaheim. A man named Walt Disney decided that this would be the perfect place to build his theme park called Disneyland.

At the base of one of these orange trees, a leprechaun named Patrick Begorra, made his home. Donald, Mickey, Goofy and Pluto took Patrick to the Walt Disney Studios to show him the plans for Disneyland. Patrick agreed to let them build the park there as long as he could live there in a brand new house. Once the park opened, Patrick had a new home in a secret spot known only to him.

Until now, well at least since the D23 Expo in 2015 anyways. Patrick's home is at the base of a tree near the Indiana Jones Adventure in Adventureland. I hope you get a chance to see this charming little home.

But until you get a chance to see Patrick's home for yourself, take a look at my 360 VR image below! Use your mouse to explore within the photo! If you have a Samsung Gear 360 VR Headset or similar device it will feel like you are right there ready to walk up and knock on the door!

Disney California Adventure 360 Test Videos with the Samsung Gear 360

Time to field test taking 360 video with the Samsung Gear 360 camera. Below are two short videos in Disney California Adventure to show you the camera's capabilities.

YouTube fully supports 360 videos so make sure to scroll around within the video to take in the entire view.



I will definitely take a much longer video in one of my favorite places in the park next time. Here I just wanted to see what the video quality and audio quality is like.


Here I am taking a walk along one of the most scenic places in the park. Next time I may shoot video while pointing out some of the highlights of the park as well as take  video of some of the attractions.

Let me know what you think of these two short test videos. Also let me know what you would like to see in the parks in 360 video in the comments below.

My Tiny Planet Photo of Disneyland's Fantasyland

Take a look at my Tiny Planet photo made with my Samsung Gear 360 camera of Disneyland's Fantasyland. I love this photo and will bring you more Tiny Planet photos from both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.

Let me know what you think of this photo and where else in Disneyland or Disney California Adventure that you would like to see Tiny Planet photos of.

Disneyland in 360 with the Samsung Gear 360

Time to go into Disneyland to take photos in 360 with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera! Still photos in the park will never be the same! This is just a field test but I hope you enjoy the photos!



Here is the Disneyland Esplanade located between both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. I would have taken the photo in the center of the area but as you can see it was blocked off for some repair work.



This photo came out a bit crooked but here we are in front of the Floral Mickey, the entrance into Disneyland.



We made our way to The Hub where The Partners Statue is. The Hub is the spoke of the wheel the heads off into the various lands in Disneyland.



We are now in front of one of the most photographed locations on the planet, Sleeping Beauty Castle. Enjoy the view of the castle and the surrounding area.



And we end this field test in the heart of Fantasyland.

If you have a VR headset, these photos will make you feel like you are in the park. I hope you enjoyed the field test and will look forward to more 360 photos soon! If you have any 360 photos in Disneyland that you would like to see then please let me know in the comments below.

Disney California Adventure in 360 with the Samsung Gear 360

Time to field test my new Samsung Gear 360 in Disney California Adventure. You will notice that there is no 360 footage from Cars Land because that is in a separate post. You can check out my 360 footage of Cars Land at the link below:

Cars Land in 360 with the Samsung Gear 360



Hanging out in the Carthay Circle. Such a great Hub for the park.



In front of The Hollywood Tower Hotel before it closed on January 2nd, 2017 to transform into Guardians of The Galaxy: Mission Breakout.



In the Paradise Pier viewing area for World of Color. During the day it is one of the best places to take photos in the area.

Cars Land in 360 with the Samsung Gear 360

Time to take the Samsung Gear 360 camera into Cars Land, one of my favorite places to take still photos in Disney California Adventure.



We are here in the heart of Radiator Springs! The town with one traffic signal! Make sure you look up to see that signal! Take your time to look at all the buildings in the land and you are looking at some of the best work that Walt Disney Imagineering has done in a some time!



It is time to watch a race at Radiator Springs Racers!



Standing in the middle of Flo's V8 Cafe, one of my favorite places to eat in all of Disney California Adventure. Also make sure you check out who is traveling Route 66 behind me!



I love the rotunda inside of Flo's V8 Cafe! I also love the cool light sculpture above me! Make sure you look up to see that!



We end the look at Cars Land in 360 with my favorite entrance into Car Land. You get a real sense of the scale of the land. Just think Star Wars Land they are building in Disneyland will even be bigger than this!

Let me know your thoughts on this field test of the Samsung Gear 360 camera and what else in the Disneyland Resort you would like to see in 360.

My Tiny Planet Photo of the Disneyland Floral Mickey

Take a look at this awesome Tiny Planet photo I created using the Samsung Gear 360 camera in front of the famous Floral Mickey Mouse at Disneyland. My friend Cesar is my human tripod for this.

Let me know what you think of the photo in the comments below and if you have suggestions of other places that you would like to see a Tiny Planet photo in Disneyland.

Disneyland and DCA in 360 with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera

Every since Samsung announced their venture into the world of Virtual Reality (VR), I was excited to see what products they were going to offer. I got the Samsung S7edge that came with the VR Headset. I loved the content that was available but was floored when Samsung announced the Gear 360 Camera! I took the Gear 360 Camera to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on December 23rd and 24th to field test it.

The camera is easy to use and to pair with my phone and got a lot of looks from people walking around me, But let's get to the content that I shot! Below you will find two examples from Disneyland and two examples from Disney California Adventure! Use your mouse on the photo to move around and see what we captured!



This first 360 photo is the main entrance into the park. The famous Floral Mickey Mouse greets you to Disneyland. As Walt said that Mickey was a personification of him (Walt voiced Mickey in the early days) that the Floral Mickey is a personal greet by Walt himself to his park.



The next image is of the one of the most photographed locations on earth, Sleeping Beauty Castle! The castle was kept small because European castles were meant to be large and imposing, Walt didn't want that for his castle. I find that Disneyland's castle is the most charming castle of all.



Next, we move across the esplanade into Disney California Adventure and into the popular Cars Land, based off the hit Pixar film Cars! We are standing in the heart of Cars Land, right below the only light signal in the area. This land feels as if the animated film was actually shot on location here.



Lastly, we have one of my favorite locations in Disney California Adventure. This is the bridge next to Grizzly River Run that takes you past Frog Jump Falls. Take a look around the area and you feel as if you are somewhere in the high Sierras.

I hope you enjoyed this field test of the Samsung Gear 360 Camera and the 360 photos that we took. If you have any suggestions of other areas of the parks that you would like to see please let me know in the comments below! Next up will be some short video testing in the parks in the coming weeks!
