At The Magic in Pixels, the goal is to provide you with the highest possible imagery from the Disney Theme Parks and related areas. We want you to enjoy spending your time perusing the site, enjoying the thousands of images in the galleries, learning new photography and post-processing techniques, and participating in the Disney Photography Forums. The Magic in Pixels was founded in 2006 as a way to bring all of this content to you, the Disney Theme Park Fans.
From time to time, we like to "take the temperature" of the site by asking the readers and viewers their opinions on what they like, what they don't like, what they would like to see as far as new features, and what could be improved. The time for your feedback and participation is now!
Remember, this site is for YOU, and we want to make it even better for YOU! Rather than asking you to fill out (yet) another web poll or survey, all we are asking you to do is to leave your feedback in the comments section at the bottom of this page. It's simple, easy, and quick, and you have a direct way to voice your opinion and let us know where we stand with meeting (and hopefully exceeding) your wishes and expectations.
Please take just a few moments to jot down a few comments at the bottom of this page to let us know what we can do to improve the quality of our services to you. Thank you for your readership and continued patronage.
