Wow...I don't know which one is my favorite, so many of them came out great! I agree that the last few are some of the best and I do love the one with just Conner and Steve!

I would not have been too happy about the new photographer, but I guess it is just the luck of the draw. I didn't even know you could do a photopass resort session, so I'm getting an education here as well (note to self for our next trip). Thanks for continuing to share your wonderful family memories with all of us!

Love 'em!

Sorry the Photopass session was a bust. Is Photopass photographer an option on the CP? Maybe Jordan could do that.

I didn't see a Photopass photographer in December this year at the GF, but you were there closer to the actual day than I was, and I was there only during the day.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

That is too bad that you did not get a better photographer but I think the pictures that you posted turned out great. I was thinking of surprising my mom with this session, she would probably love getting some "professional" photos of the two of us.

 

[ncsjodi]

Yep, I think all of IN will be in black tomorrow...

I know I will be. And if Dungy ends up retiring, I'll be really upset.

[puggymom]

Wow, I know you said you weren't happy but I think they look great (at least the ones you posted)

That's a wonderful idea about expanding to other resorts

I really liked the pictures you did post. Everyone looks so nice. I especially like the last ones with the night lights in the background. Now here's a question ... were you able to add on any more Photopass photos from the parks to that card?

 

[Philadisney]

Hi, Kelly~! This is Jordan. We really enjoyed watching you on What Not to Wear, and I was inspired to draw you a picture of Alice. I'll PM you sometime about the college program; I might do it next year.

-J <3

WOW! You drew that? That's awesome! Thanks, and thanks for watching the show!
I loved doing the college program so if you have any questions about it ask away!

I had heard about Disney's PhotoPass Session at the Grand Floridian about 6 weeks before our trip. This was something I really wanted to try! It was still in the beginning stages when I called to make our reservations, and there was conflicting info on how much it would cost. I went ahead and Pre-ordered my PhotoPass CD for $99. Even though it was a short trip, I knew I'd get my money's worth, especially with the GF Photo Shoot.

Wow, you are a wealth of information. I had not heard about either of these! So am I correct in understanding that the photo shoot is free if you have purcahsed the photopass CD? I hope so, since you didn't love most of the pictures. I have to say that the picture with the mirror is really cool!

Hey everyone! Glad you like the pictures! I'm not going to be able to reply to comments tonight. The hubby just started a fire, opened a bottle of wine, and has challenged me to a game of Scrabble.

Sounds nice!....sooooo who won???

Michelle,
LOVE the TR! I'm having serious WDW withdrawals since we won't be able to go again until October or November of '09! Your TR is just the thing to cure me.
I'm taking notes so I can have some good ideas for our trip in the unfortunately distant future! You sold me on Sweet Sundays. DH attended culinary school for a year until he decided he wanted a family life and lower back comfort, so we are huge Food Network and Colette fans! Did she do both cakes and the cookies in 2 hours or did it take longer?

Can't wait for the rest of the TR!

Hey Michelle,

I am all caught up - AGAIN! Life just gets in the way of Dising WAY TO MUCH

I can't believe how much you guys have gotten done in such a short period of time!

 

[jakenjess]

Hey everyone! Glad you like the pictures! I'm not going to be able to reply to comments tonight. The hubby just started a fire, opened a bottle of wine, and has challenged me to a game of Scrabble.

Be back tomorrow!
-Michelle

Sounds like a wonderful evening ahead!!

I'm sorry you were disappointed with most of the pictures, but the ones you posted look great! I didn't even know a photo shoot like that was available. I agree, the Boardwalk would be a fantastic setting!

 

[cmp1111]

You all look fantastic! I'm sorry it wasn't as magical as you hoped, but it seems like you (as always) have a good attitude about it.

 

[jwwi]

Michelle, I liked the pictures in your post, the stairway and the outdoor one with the bldg lit up are my favorites. You have such a sweet family, I give you credit for being able to rally your kids to take family pictures. Mine are horrible, I have 3 kids, someone is always complaining if I take the camera out! Maybe if I took them to Disney with me more often they would comply.

It looks like you got your money's worth, I have been very impressed with your Disney Photopass pictures in all of your TR's.

Sorry about the Colts, would have loved to see them beat the Patriots. Go Packers! We love Brett just as much as Indy loves Peyton.

 

[nts4wdw]

I think your pictures are wonderful. I'd love to do that, but I think the children and Chuck would definitely raise a protest!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us!!

who won in scrabble? i want to know.

Just got all caught up with your trippy Michelle - what a whirlwind and fun-filled trip you were having. What a shame your Photopass photographer wasn't all that experienced but, still, you got some great pictures. Can't wait for the next update

 

[PrincessV]

I know I will be. And if Dungy ends up retiring, I'll be really upset.

ACK, no retirement - I'm still hoping we can get him back down here in Tampa some day! (I know - lots-a-luck!)

Michelle, I am absolutely about the Photopass photographer. I'm just appalled that they'd assign a newbie to such a techinically-difficult shoot, (night shoots - even sunset - aren't easy to light properly). I'm so glad you got some good ones in the end, though.

V, sounds like a good Disney job for you! And I'm sure Michelle would be more than willing to be your first shoot.
