    Who Do you rent lenses from for Disney World?

    I've used TheLensPal for camera and lens rentals at WDW. I really liked Kingdom Camera Rentals but the equipment I needed was not available from them. TheLensPal has four locations in Orlando but I don't know if they deliver. Their prices were better than Kingdom Camera and they have a huge...

    Cleaning a lens

    If you are still having problems with the lens at WDW, you may want to consider renting a replacement for the trip to avoid further damage to the mechanism until you can have it professionally cleaned. Kingdom Camera Rentals looks like they have availability. Good Luck.

    Park/Resort portraits - time of day

    We visited WDW mid-June last year. Since June is the wettest month of the year in Orlando, rain certainly can pop up at any time with little notice. That said, most of our surprise rainy times last June were in the mid-afternoon.

    Renting a lens for dark ride photography

    Another option for lens rental in the Orlando area is TheLensPal. They do not deliver but are only about 30 minutes from WDW and are located in Winter Garden. Website is thelenspal.com. Their lens selection is much greater than Kingdom Camera Rentals and prices tend to be better. The only...

    Looking for hotel/resort recommendations at the beach

    One of our favorite resorts to visit on the Gulf coast of Florida is Waterscape on Okaloosa Island. Many of the units are available for rent on vrbo.com. The resort has a large pool area with a lazy river, kids pool, hot tubs for the adults, etc. One of the nicest pool areas I have seen on...

    Christmas at WDW with college age children

    Making our first trek to WDW during Christmas season. Probably around the Thanksgiving break. My 21 year old DS asks me what there is for him to do at the World if he doesn't want to spend all his time riding rides. Need suggestions for college age activities at the world. Doesn't drink so...

    DSLR or point and shoot at Disney?

    Hi Lexiesmom, Can you tell us specifically what two cameras you are considering taking to WDW? If we know the specific cameras under consideration, then our advice can be more pointed and we can avoid spiraling downward into an argument regarding generalizations about P&S and DSLRs...

    Epcot Resort Parking

    Just left Beach Club Villas last Friday after a five day stay. There is a sign posted at the guard shack which states only resort guests or guests with dining reservations at Beach Club may park in their parking lot. I cannot comment on the Boardwalk parking situation.

    Recommended lens rental company/lens type?

    I have used Lensrentals.com with good success on several occasions but I am in Memphis and do not pay shipping (pick-up from warehouse). Lensrentals.com has a new local pick-up location in Nashville TN if you are driving to WDW. I used Kingdom Camera Rentals on the last trip. Good prices...

    Which camera? Please advise.

    Nikon D7000 with 18-105 kit lens. Great low light performance, HD video. Priced a little under $1000, available with no tax or shipping from several sites. If you decide in the future to use more lenses, lots of lenses from which to choose.
