Hi there! And thanks! I use two cameras- I have a DSLR, it's a Canon Rebel xsi, which at night (when I remember to) I use with a flash attachment (that I have from my old Canon SLR, elan 7e). The other camera is an Olympus- it's a Stylus SW 850. That one is an underwater camera- all the photos from the current (Friday) posts (the BC ones and the DHS ones I'm going to post) were taken with it. I need to get a new one though- the water seal is shot, and on the cruise it was on its last legs. I get tired of carrying around the big camera, so I really need both. Oh! And using a tripod, even a gorilla pod, helps immensely with night photos.

Soooo...just me and my boys went down to the dock. When I took this next photo, T&T were both like, "What are ya takin THAT for?? You're not even stayin there!" Yes I did- when i was here in MAy with my DISmoms- we had that little balcony up there-

Leaving behind a spouse, I have always wondered about that since my wife insists that if I go to Epcot again, it will be me and me alone. Her and the kid could just swim at the hotel while I "explore."

Looking forward to more!

Love the Disney Magic phone charger story! It's not just the big moments but it's all the little ones too that make the Disney vacations so amazing.

I had a nice group pic there but maybe one day you'll see it on Buzz Lightyear. That is where I lost my camera and still no luck in getting it back. Hopefully it will be at least a million point shot if it's still there.

Now going back to read the rest. Was just too excited by the same lobby within days of each other. Especially since I had not even been in this area of Disney since 2001!

Epcot is my favorite park- I want to LIVE there!! But everyone needs to be happy on vacation- I think it's better that way. I hate dragging anyone anywhere they don't want to go!

Thanks, Tammie! Jen is AWESOME- we got along so well, the boys did, too. And of course, Savannah is my favorite dancing partner ever!! I love it when you meet someone on the DIS and it all feels so perfect- that's how it was with Jen & her family- not to mention her hubby, Ron, who is the happiest guy I've ever met- there is ALWAYS a smile on his face!

No problem- I'll definitely do a RCCL trippie- it's a 9 night cruise, I think that amount of time will be absolutely PERFECT!

Oh NOOOOOOO!!!!! I hate lost camera stories- they make me sick to my stomach- photos are soooooo precious, that is so so sad, Myst! Was someone else taking pictures for you? That's a little easier, if you have someone else's back-up photos.

Really funny you were all there at YC so soon after me- how was the fireworks cruise?

And your new baby is precious- so tiny!!!

[anewmac]
