and we had a great time exploring together for a few hours. We both took lots of pics, and tasted some food and wine!

It was great to meet another Dis'er face to face!!!

I'll post some of mine later!

The landscape outside of The Living Seas with Nemo. The choices that they made in plants made it look very much like underwater plants - I actually took the photo as I want some of these for my yard!

Hey, Martha! It was great to spend the day with you, taking photos and sampling the offerings from some of the F&W kiosks. I've got SO many photos to go through, but here are a few I took during our stroll around the world.

Hey Ro! Thanks for a great day! Tara stayed at her friend's house until 7pm. Had I know that I would have hung out a bit longer! I hope you enjoyed your wine pairing at Le Cellier.

Thanks Dan!

what, no professional looking pictures of each other? With your eyes for photos, you couldn't figure out *some* way?

I agree...where are the obligatory dismeet photos of the disers involved....

Great shots ladies!! I missed those warriors as well!? Is that a temporary exhibit perhaps? Martha - I really like the one from Italy thru the collumns!! very cool! :thumbsup2

I believe the Tomb Warriors are a temp. exhibit. The last time I was inside the China pavilion, it was a showcase for the upcoming opening of Hong Kong Disneyland.

Somehow, we completely forgot to do a DIS meet photo. Next time. I'll be back in Sept./Oct. 07, and we can do this again.

I totally didn't think of it.... I hate being in front of the camera - in fact I allowed the Photopass photographers to take a couple photos with characters - I NEVER do that, but I have yet to be brave enough to even load the card to see them!

Both of you have a great eye. Martha, I really like your "creativity" shot - I think I'll have to try the champagne and chocolate approach next month to see if I get results as good!Barrie

:rotfl: you sound just like me...i wonder how many initially picked up a camera to keep from having to be in the shot :eek: ( smilie is the way i usually look in any pic, expect only one eye would be open and my hair would be a mess :rotfl2: )

Please don't hesitate to be in some photos yourself -- your family and friends will enjoy them. I used to be the main photog, and now when I'm trying to scrapbook "then and now" photos -- I even kind of wish there were a few more of me, so my DGS will have them later.

Beautiful photos both of you -- I'm going to try to do that more on this nest trip, and use my little 3-D camera, as well as do some panoramics!

Hope to see some DISers, too --we're going all out with LGMHPC's.
