I need some help with some very specific photos from WDW. Here is the short version...
I am a professor of theatre (specifically a set designer), and I would like to give a presentation at a conference about what we in theatre can learn from the imageneering of WDW. I'll list the photos I would like to have first, and then if you care to read, I'll explain why I need those specific photos so that you might offer up additional suggestions!

Cinderella Castle (day and or night)
Mosaic of wicked stepsisters inside the castle
Storefronts on Main St. USA
Beast's Castle
Presidents in Hall of Presidents (close ups of a few presidents preferred)
Any animitronics from Pirates (except Capt. Sparrow, again close ups)

Pathways in Future World East and West (showing some of the landscaping)
Any photos of the facades for the countries of World Showcase, but I really need...
Italy, as much as you can get in one photo
American Adventure (again, as much as you can get in one photo)
The Italian and American pavilions in the same shot (where ever you can find a clean shot of this
The Moroccan Pavilion as seen from Mexico (I actually want ToT visible from the angle)
The phone booths in United Kingdom
Smokestacks above merchandise stores in United Kingdom
The Hotel du Canada

Tower of Terror

Tree of Life (both close ups and long shot)
Prayer flags in Anandapur

Finally, any close ups of the details that make WDW so wonderful (Cinderella's Fountain, the key under the mat at Muppet Vision 3D, heck, I'll take the faded parking lines at Chester and Hester's)

Now, before anyone says that I can just google them, or search photos already on this site, I want to make sure that I have permission to use the photos and make sure that I can properly cite the sources. That being said, if you have any of these photos and would like to share them with me (or if you are visiting the Magic Kingdom sometime in the near future and would do me a huge favor by taking some of these) please let me know how you would like to be credited.
Thanks in advance!

I didn't to put this all in the first post (it was long enough!) but I thought some of you might want to know what this is all about...
Every year I attend the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. Next year, in January, I would like to give a presentation about what designers can learn from Disney. I'll be focusing on things such as color (why I want a good shot of The American Adventure, they actually use four shades of white on the building), scale (the forced perspective of Main St., Cinderella's Castle, and the Hotel du Canada), style (the realistic look of the presidents vs. the stylized look of the pirates, the angular pathways of Future World East vs. curve linear paths of West), composition (America vs. Italy in World Showcase), and just basic attention to detail.
Thanks again for any help you can give me!

Here is a pic of the UK smokestack, best I had. You should look at the photo pages here and then message the members of the pictures you like and ask for permission. Sounds like an interesting presentation.
