I'm sure you have answered this before, what camera do you use? (The ones from Mother's day, as well as other pictures)

The pictures are great!!! About how muchdoes it run (if you don't mind answering)?



You TR makes me want to go back sooooooooooooooooooo badly!

I have posted picturs on here from 3 different cameras. The family shots are from my point and shoot a Canon A540. The two of Claire playing are from my newest camera, a Canon 50D which is expensive.

Some of the other pictures I posted in the trip report are from my Canon XTi, which broke recently. I used that and the point and shoot on the trip.
The newest version of my XTi is an XSi. I think they go around $500 or more with a basic lens.

Your TR was one of the first ones I started reading... its kind of sad to see it coming to an end.

I really enjoyed reading it. Our trip is in one month and we are staying at POP! Your tips and suggestions will definitely come in handy!

Way to go with the teen! Here's to stroller moms! I can't stand being cut off in line! The Mother's Day pics are beautiful! I got my DD the same shirt as Claires in the last pics (instead of gray, DD's is pink). She loves wearing her WDW shirts though and points out the characters! Did you get pics of the food from EoS or Goofy's? These 2 things are MUST-DOs for me! I think we'll be driving to DTD instead of the buses after reading this!!

I actually got that shirt last year on our trip. LOL! I did get some pics, but they aren't very good. I'll post the EOS one in my dining report, eventually. LOL! My next installemtn should have the goofy treats, but again, not a very good picture.

Great way to end up your last day. Oh my the last day !!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

Beautiful pictures of Mother's Day and the park days too.

 

[WrightFamily06]

Great update , love the MK pictures ! It's always so sad when your walking out of there on the last day

The thing with the Jasmine line and the stroller was too funny , I do the same thing though you cross the line and your heels get clipped !

The Mother's Day pictures were so sweet , looks like you had a great day

Sounds like DTD was crazy as usual , the pictures of Clarie there are adorable though

Sorry to see your trip report is coming to end Now you'll just have to read mine if the PP CD ever gets here . LOL

That is a cute sweatshirt!! Those are also cute mother's day pictures. Your children are beautiful, and you are one hot mama!!

When we were at MK my 7 year old son saw Captain Hook and was dying to see him. There were only 3 people in line so I told him to run up and stand in line while I parked the stroller and got my other kids out. While he was standing in line some tour group that didn't speak English came and cut right in front of him. I said,"Excuse me, my son was waiting in line." They looked at me with blank looks to which my husband says, " they don't understand you". My son just said it was ok he would wait. Well, at first there were about 6 or 7 people in this group that cut in front of my son. As soon as the group gets up to the front of the line, out no where comes 6 or 7 more families to join them. So now we were about 14 families away from seeing Hook. I said something to the character handler about how we had now been waiting 30 minutes and people kept joining the group in front of us and it wasn't fair that they could just walk right up, join their group, see the characters and not have to wait. The character handler then turns around and says loudly," Anybody who is not a part of this group needs to go back to the end of the line. Only people with the group can walk up." I was so mad because she was ok with all these people seeing somebody they know and walking right up to the front of the line. It ended up taking us almost an hour to see Captain Hook. I wouldn't have waited if my son wasn't so adamant about it. Not to mention that it was also 97 degree's out and my 2 yr old and 3 yr old were going crazy. I ended up walking off with them and letting my husband wait with the older two boys. I don't know that I will ever get over that. It makes me furious just thinking about it.

Thank goodness your TR cheers me up.

How rude Too bad you didn't have Jen's stroller, you could have mowed them all down. That kind of behavior is enough to make me want to start throwing punches - butttt I maintain my self control so as not to set a bad example for the kids. No one wants to remember their mom being cuffed and hauled off to jail

OMG! you go away to deal with crises for 2 days and you get so far behind.
I've had DH sick, DS home for 3 days sick. Went to my friends daughter's funeraland been to the vet wit same dog three times. Let me just tell you when you have to call in the vet at 5oam, you automatically become the surgery assistant as there is no one else there. Being a nurse, I'd love to share all the gory details but I'll spare you - just suffice it to say. She had to ask DH to leave because he was getting very pale and she told him she couldn't handle another pt at the moment beside he doesn't have enough legs to qualify for her expertise

Okay you will have to give me the details on how to work the photpass thing when I pre-order online. I can't believe your last photopass person Your pics were definitely better than hers.

I so enjoy the topiaries at Disney. - they are all just amazing. They have to be one of my very favorite things.

Enjoyed the mother's day pics. Beauty definitely runs in your family - Your mo looks great. Was she like 12 when she had you?

I'm glad you got that sweatshirt before you left. Now you don't have to keep fighting with yourself about not buying it. I think the opther one is my favorite though.

I love that pink dress that Claire is wearing. She looks gorgous in it. It's my second favorite next to the dress she wore for BBB pics. That pink is a great color on her.

Do they just not have a lot of buses running from Pop to DTD - I might have to drive there is the wait is that long.

Jen, you TR is the very first one I started reading , and I am so sad it is coming to a close. I'm gonna miss you if I can'tpost to you every day.
Hugs, Karen

Love the updates! The mother's day pics turned out nice too. How do you like your new camera? I want to buy a fisheye lens for mine but my gosh they are expensive! I had one on the 35mm and I loved the pics I got with it!

Thanks for all the nice compliments. I will try to keep adding pictures here and there. I only posted a handful of the Pop ones.
Sounds like things have been rough at home. Hopefully everyone, including dog, are on the road to recovery.

I like it, but I am still getting used to it. I am slowly reading the manual too to learn what all it has to offer. I am also trying to practice on focusing better. I'm iffy on the new one. I have a telephoto thats pretty good and another one thats decent , a 50mm prime that I love,and I was hoping this new one would be really sharp, but so far it's iffy.

After World of Disney we worked our way over to Goofy’s. DTD was packed. I was so irritated all these people were getting in MY way. LOL!

I swear I must’ve went into Goofy’s while mostly idiots were working! UGH. I looked at the candy “menu” and decided I want to make 3 sets of 3 pretzel rods to use up the credits. The girl said they only had on paper left to fill out and she would look for more. Well she just disappeared forever, and then came back and looked and left again and said her manager had to go look for the main one to make copies. Now this is DISNEY….shouldn’t they have a bunch of these made? I told her that could I just get 3 sets of the same and right what I want on one paper. She acted like I was crazy for wanting 3 sets and that doing 3 on the same paper was going to mess up the system. But she allowed it. Then a guy came out and he was going to get them started while she did some more wandering around doing nothing.
He was even SLOWER! Also he told me I couldn’t have white chocolate drizzled over my toppings because I already had white chocolate as the base and it wouldn’t make a difference in taste. Well to me it would’ve, but at this point I just wanted them to hurry up and get them done, so I didn’t argue. So we waited while this guy worked in slow motion.

After awhile the girl came to help him, but it didn’t go any faster.

Finally they got them done. This guy just had no clue. They are supposed to seal the bag with a sticker, but he folds the bag and puts the sticker next to it, so it doesn’t hold it shut in any way shape or form. He tells me to be careful with them, but I just wanted to leave and they did get smashed and stuck to the bag a bit…but what’s a little paper in the digestive system. LOL!

We headed over to the bus stop and sat down. It was crowded there. And again we waited and waited. 3 All Star buses and 2 Fort Wilderness buses came before the Pop one came. The nthe ride is so long back. You have to stop on the other side of DTD before you head back to Pop.
Claire and I were very tired and happy to be back. We stopped off at the laundry room to pick up my bag out of the dryer and went back to the room. I needed to get ice for the sandwiches and of course Claire had to tag along. I was half way there when she comes running out of the room crying. So I went back, got her, and we took a quick walk around the lake area and then got our ice. I finished up with getting things set for the morning and then we went to sleep. I don’t remember for sure what time we set the alarm for, but I know it was early. I think 5.

And that was the last full day at Disney….Boo Hoo!

 

[MyMuse]

I think we might have been at DTD the same day just different times. I was there in the afternoon, both Friday and Saturday.

I missed Goofy's on the March trip but finally remembered to go in on the May trip. I was so confused with how to order, etc that I just didn't order anything. LOL!!!

I think this is the first time I've seen Claire in pants/jeans!

I want to go back in December. A friend of mine's mother bought into DVC and they are staying at Bay Lake (is it open yet?). Do you think I can stowaway at their place?

Thank you for such a great TR. I wish I would have had the presence of mind to recognize you!

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

Oh no your TR is coming to a end You need to plan another trip ASAP lol.

I know, I should've looked out more for you too. But I was in a disney daze. LOL!

I wish I could. I assume we will be going next March if all goes well. I really still want to do the cruise though, so if I can talk DH into that, that wil lbe my first choice. I read sooo much about the Disney cruise line this past fall and winter, that I coul probably go on it tomorrow and be very comfortable. LOL!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Oh no! The last full day!

 

[meanmom121]

I'm boo hooing with you. I love that Disney tshirt that Claire has on. Everyone is slowly recovering around here Thanks for the well wishes. I'm sure all will be fine.
It's already blazing hot here in Texas so I sure be pretty acclimated for Disney in July.
A cruise sounds fun. If you get to do one you'll have to post a TR so I can see if that's something we want to do in the future.
Vacations only come about every other year around here.
