I'm feeling pretty sure that it's the same guy. Like you said, it's hard to tell without the whole costume on but he looks very similar to your picture. Plus, he appears to be pretty friendly with the performer and has a good flair for raising his 'elephant' trunk!
On to your update!
I particularly like the castle show pictures with the Tangled scene and the Up scene. As you said, they're both so vibrant!
I love how at first glance many of your pictures appear to have no other people in them. When I looked closely, I can see from blurs (which I think are people) so I'm thinking this is a photography trick of the trade? Maybe a long exposure? (I've got very little photo knowledge so forgive my shot in the dark!)
I noticed the same things about the "volunteer" in FotLK. The way he was goofing around with Kiumbe is what initially got me taking a closer look at his face.
You're right about photos and the "ghosts" in them. These were long exposure shots anywhere from 15-30 seconds depending on the lighting so people who were moving in the frame appear as ghost like figures. Ideally would have like to have waited to closing time but I was so tired I didn't think I could make it that late. There's also a technique I just recently learned in Photoshop that if I took multiple pictures of the same scene spaced out in time I could merge and "average" them out to make the area free of people.
First of all, I have to say the aerial shots of the birds in the Lion King show look cool. Too bad you had a bit of an obstructed view for the fire dude or whatever it was that you call him. At least you got a decent one of him when he turned your way.
Congrats on the upcoming trips. A couple of nights of MNSSHP should go a long way towards curing your long layover between trips.
I love the night pictures around the MK. I always love ending a day in that park.
Thanks Andy! I love how MK looks at night especially near closing time. Hoping to stay late for this upcoming trip but we shall see.
Haha, despite the hardships to acquire it, there is absolutely no doubt what the subject is of your first photo. So I call that a WIN!
OK note to self... It is possible to get photos of Celebrate the Magic that aren't a blurry mess. Kudos!!!
Thanks Rob!
Why is that I can never remember the official name of the castle projection show?? Which is why I always call it......the castle projection show. Too many shows and parades that sound alike I think.
