AHHH! Where is the next post??LOL I was really enjoying your TR!
Sounds like you had a great day at MK!! Demetri is too cute!! He must have in heaven driving the Jungle Cruise!!
I love you Wishes pictures!!! I've found, with my camera at least, to use the fireworks setting the camera has to be absolutely still. It's kinda a pain in butt. But, I did get some good pictures in regular automatic mode with the camera rested on my knees. I'll have to try the continuous mode! I've never thought of that! I bet that would be good for rides too!
Wow!! Great Update!!
Yay!! for Demetri being able to steer the boat in the Jungle Cruise. DS was chosen to do that in April. Did he get a little Jr. Skipper card?
Awww, no he didn't get a Jr Skipper card. That would have been a fun souvenier. Oh well!
We learned last year to avoid the frozen banana. Yuck. (sorry, I should have warned you!!)
Love your Splash Mountain pics!!! It's such a fun ride!! How cool that your were able to ride it again after Wishes.
Most of this ride is indoors of course but it was super fun to ride it again after dark. They're just different somehow!
Beautiful pictures of the Castle during Wishes
It sounds like you had a great day and you got so much accomplished!!!-even with it being a relaxing day
AHHH! Where is the next post??LOL I was really enjoying your TR!
What a wonderful day at MK!
Seriously, just reading about it put a huge smile on my face. You had some good pixie dust with you all day.
The pictures you got of Wishes are beautiful! Kudos.
I love Splash Mountain. What a wonderful day!!!
Now I need to figure out if my camera has a continuous mode or not...I know it has a fireworks mode...but continuous I'm not sure and to make matters worse I'm not sure where I put the user manual CD...so its on my list to find LOL!!
I think I remember you saying you had a Fuji Finepix S2000 (I remember because mine is a Fuji Finepix S1000 ) and yes, you do have continuous mode. There are two buttons on the top of the camera - one toggles face detection on and off, and the other lets you choose various continous mode options.
I loved your update!! What great pictures!!! I'm glad Demetri was able to not only enjoy his favorite once but twice!!!!! Part of the fun of Disney is being able to say you know what I'm going to do that next time!!! I can't wait to read more!!
Just lovely fireworks photo in front of the castle...
Thanks!
I agree that Buzz seems less crowded since TSM-which is ashame-its still a really fun ride...I love spinning in the ships too...
How was your score? I think mine was defective....
So you got nailed by the spitting camel too huh?
Yep, smack in the eye.
Love the HM at dusk...extra creepy...
It was sooo weird, I took another shot 10 minutes later and got the same darkness even though it was blindingly sunny!
Sounds like you all had a fabulous day...
(Not liking the sound of your next update...Missing kids...)
Great updates!
Oh...you have the same camera as me....or at least close enough!!! That makes you a very valuable asset!! I just PM'd you some questions I hope you don't mind!
Another great update and lots of fun pics. How fun Demetri got to be part of the show on the JC!
I still love Buzz Lightyear but the thing that annoys me is the triggers are so hard to use! Dad mentioned something about how it seemed like his gun would work once every three shots. I seriously wish they would redo it so they are like the Disneyland ones. There your guns are attached to a cord so you can pull them out and they light up/vibrate so you know you hit a target. It works a LOT better!
Argg! Can I steal your Fireworks shots? They're so great! I need to figure out how to get my camera to do that - my fireworks shot leaves the shutter open for about 5 seconds, which means they turn out awful...
Your shots weren't awful! Have you tried a mini tripod? The fireworks look great in your pics, its the castle that was a teeny blurry. I want to try that next trip, especially for Spectro.
I love Splash Mountain too! So much more than it's Animal Kingdom counterpart...
(you'll see why soon.)
uh-oh
And I'm glad you're all having a good time - although I am a little leery of the next update.
You got soo much done!
They are doing a pretty major rehab of Space Mountain, but not as extensive as the one at DL. SM at DL was closed for over a year.
Absolutely great firework shots! I have a fireworks setting on my camera but they still don't turn out very well.
Great update! Love the Haunted Mansion Pics!!!!
the rumored changes to SM do sound great.
Have you seen the pics of the demolition they are doing right now to the old skyway building--CRAZY.
I hadn't seen the pics but looked them up. Wow. I had no clue WDW used to have a Skyway! That stroller parking area by IASW makes more sense to me now. Hope they make it a restaurant but its a shame they couldn't have just converted the existing building.
So, we just got back from Disney yesterday, and I have loved reading through your trip! I need to start my TR soon! Can't wait to see more!
