Thanks, Jeff!  I've had a hard time catching the ToL in good lighting over the years.

Dan, HDR does tend to polarize people as to if they like it or not.  In this case, I do like the clouds as it makes the lighting more dramatic for me.  I look for such lighting all the time when the Sun lights up the foreground with dark clouds in the background.  I have lots of photos of the ToL with Florida blue sky's. 

Would I have liked it better with clouds being colored by a setting Sun, you betcha!  However, at WDW, sometimes we don't have the luxury of waiting for the light as I had to get over to MK for a dining reservation with my family. 

I tried using various settings in Photomatix.  Some more realistic with others totally off the wall and really liked how this looked.  Maybe not photo-realistic but colorful and fun.  Thanks for your comments, Dan. 

Here is a photo of the same scene:
