I did not pull the Fish-eye out unless I was looking for that kind of shot, or needed Extreme Wide shots like at the Disney Studios, where there were lots of cramped spaces. I also used an Ultrawide lens, 10-20mm for most of the wide shots.Great trip report! And excellent photos!!
I'm just curious, did you use a fisheye lens all throughout? And did you use a monopod or tripod to take those low light photos?

I used a trash can on the fireworks shots, and the other low light shots were done holding the camera and using a very fast lens, normally a 1.4, 1.8, or 2.8 and shooting around 3200 ISO or higher.
Thank you!!You have incredibly steady hands. I guess I have to get the ultra fast lenses. I have mostly 2.8s and my regular lens is the Canon 24-105 f4. Is it a 50 mm you use? Sorry to stray from the topic but your shots are really amazing! Plus you have the eye how to capture the shots.
Thank you!!
Mostly, I was using the 30mm Sigma, 50mm Canon, and the 40mm Canon. I also shoots couple of stops down so that I can get as close to a shutter speed of 1/60 as possible. The metering is deceptive on most cameras and tries to pull in more light than is really needed. Shooting down a full stop or more can help you bring in some Grim Grinning Ghosts, or Capt. Jack. Some of my favorites are from Buzz Lightyear @ WDW.
It's great having Mike along on any trip you take, because he gets such great shots that nobody else can get. You should have seen the pics he took of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at night!I figured you have some photography know-how since all the photos look tack sharp!
