Glad you're along for this trip!

Julia made me promise I would show her all your new pictures from this year. We had to cancel our December trip and move it to May so we are living vicariously through your trip. I know I read in another post that your friends got to test out the FP+ and you did not. I am curious to see how that worked out. We are going with our friends in May and we are staying on site and they are staying off site, so not sure how the FP thing will work out for us all on this trip.

I hope everything ends up working out with the crowds and opening or FLE! From the first picture of Katie on 2 phones, I would guess it would be the day of making ADRs hah!

LOL, I just posted that one with Gaston on Flickr a couple days ago. We did sort of outdo ourselves on the Belle front this year. It was ALL about Belle this trip!

Sounds like a pretty good guess!

Wha a sweetie!

I'm so bummed you had to cancel. But glad you can plan for May!

It really was disruptive to have part of our party with FP+ and part without. At this point, nobody really knows how it will roll out for real. Only that apparently everyone gets 3 reserved spots, onsite or offsite. But no word at all on whether you can get more spots same day inside the park. But it does look good for you guys to be able to all have 3 spots to plan together.

Thanks Synderella! Glad ou're on board.

Lots of photos to follow, to be sure. I added a 32GB card to my collection before leaving and still had to buy a new one at the gift shop our last morning. Remember though, I shoot RAW (no Carey, I don't shoot NAKED.... let's just get that out of the way now

) and my files are close to 25 MB each. But I love having all that latitude to adjust things.

Here's an example.

Shot from ETWB straight from the camera:

And after about 30 seconds in Lightroom 3:

You guys and your naked shooting, so disrespectful!

Edit...
Actually if you did have a picture of me from that day, I would've most likely had hair sticking up all over and still in my jammies!

Well, PURELY in the interest of documenting tha day accurately........ just send me the picture. No problem updating it again!

So looking foward to hearing about your whole trip!

Beautiful shot with Belle -- and great post-processing. I know that a RAW shooter will consider this heresy -- but I've found that I can adjust the levels (and reduce the noise) of a large JPEG file nearly indistinguishably as well as I can a RAW file (despite the point often made about the huge amount of data in a RAW file). Maybe I've just experimented with the wrong kind of shot (though I've chosen low light pics {such as on Haunted Mansion} and post-processed with both RAW and JPEG versions {with the camera set to shoot both simultaneously}). You have probably experimented the same way and have had different results from mine?

Can't wait for more of your photos.

from a fellow scrapper!

Thanks for the kind words.

It's never heresy to me. Heck, it's all just one big learning process to me. I really know just enough to be dangerous. I just feel like the few times I've tried to run a Jpeg through Lightroom 3, I felt completely underwhelmed by what I was able to do compared to what I have been able to do with the RAW files. But then I'm not very skilled at photo editing either.

Missyrose · 01-10-2013, 07:09 PM

I'm here Janet!

I'm only a little bit late. Once again I'm totally blown away by the dresses, Katie looks gorgeous (and so grown up!). Can't wait to hear more!
