2 Princesses, a mom and Grumpy-1st Trip Final Thoughts

How nice to have a great new house!

Good luck with your camera. I had a Nikon D40 for one night, but I decided there were some things I wasn't sure about and I couldn't really afford it, so I took it back and got something half the price. :upsidedow I look forward to seeing many great pictures from you - Disney and non-Disney - and your camera.

We are excited. I remember you trying one from ur report. It may turn out to be to much for me. I took some at the park the other day. Can't wait to take it to Disney.
 

Hi Mary,
Congrats on the new house :banana: that is a nice upgrade. We also have the Nikon D60 and we love it. I haven't really learned how to use to it's full potential yet ;). Your pics of the girls are really nice.

It will seem big at first I am sure. I am sure it will take me a looonnnnggg time to learn to use it. Thanks.

Oh goodness, they are soooo cute!! That prompted more character meetings at The Character Spot. Excuse me in all the pics but Cayley would only take pics alone with Minnie...

With that I will take a break.
 
Congratulations on the new house and camera! That calls for celebration:cheer2:
For some reason your update on page 74 I can't see the pictures it says they were deleted from photobucket.
We were at Ak and the boardwalk on the 23rd. It was hot that day. Did you get caught in the storm at night?
The girls are so cute. Caley is so funny only taking a picture alone with Minnie and her very own pin necklace. But why not Donald?:confused3:rotfl2:
Can you tell me how you like the new camera. Mine broke and I need a new one. I had a point and shoot and now I'm thinking about getting something fancy but I like small. If I did get a point and shoot I think I'll go with the nikon coolpix.
Good thing I still have a month until the trip to decide.
Any suggestions?
Hope you all are well.

Thanks so much! I fixed the pics, you should be able to see them now. It was pretty warm-we did get caught in the storm at Epcot. I was afraid lightening was going to hit the ball:scared1: She only liked Minnie. SHe loved the pins and liked to trade them. She would keep the ones back at the hotel she wanted to keep.
I like my new camera very much. I have not even scratched the surface of what it can do. Costco has a good deal with the Nikon D 60 kit. I have also heard good things about the Coolpix. Hmm tough decision.
 
How exciting!! A new house AND a new camera!! Whoo hoo!! Yes, I couldn't see your pics on page 74--would love to see them!! Love the Character Spot pics!! Sooo cute!
 
Mary, I love how you are in the pictures with the girls!!!:thumbsup2
your girls will appreciate it when they are older:cloud9:...wonderful memories!!!
 
Sat May 23rd part 3

After our snack we headed to SE.

We then ventured over to the Figment ride. Cayley thought he was pretty cute so we bought a stuffed one from the gift shop. She no longer is attached to him and he sleeps with me LOL

I think the next ones were taken in the area outside of Figment. Don't remember what it is called.

We then made our way over to Sunshine Seasons for dinner. We all had chinese-sorry no pics. Avery and Jeff then used the first fp's for Soarin. Cayley ran around the waiting area like a crazy woman. I finally took her up and down the esculators. When we were walking to get on, she grabbed the hand of a guy walking along. He took her hand, smiled down at her and said something in french. They walked for a few feet together. It was very cute. Avery and I then went on Soarin. This has become one of my favorites. As I mentioned before it totally reminds me of home. Jeff and Cayley went and rode Living the Land again.

Notice the hidden Mickey within the hidden Mickey?

It was pouring down rain when we left Soarin. I mean pouring. We waded over to SE to wait. The skies opened up complete with thunder and lightening. The girls nodded off for a few and we watched the storm on the radar (on Jeff's phone) Cayley woke up and we went to check out the gift store. It started to let up so we headed to the monorail. Took it to the TTC and zoomed to MK for the extra magic hours.

At MK we took some video-sorry no pics. We rode the carousel,I TASM-we have a great video of them singing and waving their glow sticks, and Pirates. We traded pins with a friendly CM there. We caught a little of Wishes and had a Dole Whip float YUMMY. Avery then asked if we could go back to CBR to sleep. We said goodbye to the MK-for this trip and headed back.

It was a magical last full day! We packed a ton in and the girls were troopers. I will have fond memories of this day and night for years.
