[/QUOTE]that is freakin precious!!!!!!!!!!!
You mean the Photopass photographer was still out in front of IASW after midnight??! Wow! I know the PP photographers are not thrilled with that IASW location, either because UNLESS they are there after hours it is impossible to get a clear, uncluttered picture in front of IASW Holiday. There are just too many people milling about. The guy who took my pictures hinted to our group waiting our turn that Disney COULD give them a slightly better vantage point from which to shoot, so the masses of people waiting in line wouldn't be in the way as much (as they are in my pictures), but Disney won't let them set up in a better spot, or maybe on a higher platform of some kind and would rather that the PP photographers not even set up at IASW Holiday at all. Apparently, Disney and the Photopass people have been going back and forth on this issue. But clearly, when it IASW so beautiful like that during the holidays, people will want PP pictures, so the photographers go there anyway and set up in a horrible location because they have no other choice.
Oh, and by the way, when we rode IASW in the morning, it was during our MM hour, so we were literally the only ones on our boat and there was no line of any kind, at all. When we went back at night, the line was so long it was almost into Toontown. Crazy.
Subscribing... I want in!!! I LOVE all these pics!
Oh... and WHEN is the bridge coming down? Boooooo! We are visiting DL this summer and then headed to San Francisco!! I was hoping to get a picture in front of the DCA bridge and then another picture in front of the real one!!!
I haven't heard a date yet-don't know if they have released it. For now it looks like they are concentrating on Paradise Pier area. And starting Cars Land construction. The last info I was given by a CM was that the Orange Stinger and the Dinosaur (store) are the next to go.
Oh, and BTW, since we are now a Sticky Thread you no longer have to subscribe if you don't want to fill up your subscriptions list. This thread will be at the top. Yeah!
I will miss seeing the Dinosaur in DCA, but that Orange Stinger is a vehicle of torture as far as I am concerned, so I won't be sad to see it go......though it is being converted into a Silly Symphonies-themed ride, right? So I wonder if the mechanics and the 'thrill' of the ride will be the same, with just a different body/shell/exterior?
Hi all! I just wanted to post that I got an email from one of the PP photogs at DLR and he won photo of the year for 2008. (no it wasn't of my DD) I'm so happy for him. If you've seen the one of the 3 little girls in matching outfits sitting on a beach blowing Minnie a kiss it's that one! (some of the PP photogs have that one to show guest what the Minnie pix will look like). He also won 4th and 5th.
Out of 3 million pix taken in 2008 and 3000 photographers who took them, he won 3 out of 7 places. DLR andWDW CMs did the voting. Many of the pix I have posted here were taken by him. We search him out when we go.
So, if you are looking at the pictures on this thread just know that there are good quality photographers at DLR. That may make your decisions to use PP easier.
I'm so happy for him I just wanted to share.
