I did notice the little Canadian flag.

You'll make a very good Auntie!

Brothers/men in general can make lots of foolish mistakes. We just have to try to support them anyway.

Thanks Dawn... I will show Hannah the fantasmic on that report. What did Luke think of Illuminations- and what do you think about it- you really did not say?

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

We must have been posting at the same time.

I love the Illuminations fireworks pics, that new setting is very cool.

Anna's pic is awesome!

Luke's green alien eyes.... , scary but cute at the same time.

The Boardwalk looks so beautiful at night.

Hi-just read through your trip report and it looks like y'all had a great time-and your pictures are great! I'm also in the Atlanta area-we're in Dacula.

Awesome update!!!!


I really loved the video. Especially the extra christmas part.

I was wondering too if you like illuminations? I love the music. Is it worth seeing?

Cant wait for the next day

 

[scottny]

great update and pics.

I love Illuminations.

Seems like you had a good time in Atlanta.


P.S. That Aladdin video was hysterical, she had a blue baby.

 

[AussieAngel]

Awesome photos! What was the setting you found, do you remember? Our camera is a bit of a disaster with night shots.

Sounds like a fun night! Those photos of Luke with the glow cube crack me up.

Looks like you had fun at the weekend, we saw Cirque at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday it was very good!

Love love love your Illuminations photos, what setting did you use as they turned out great

 

[kschafer]

Look at the guy checking you two out!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE illuminations. You got some wonderful pics and I love Anna's funky pic!

What gorgeous pictures of Illuminations! If I had to say what my number one thing to do on this next trip is going to be, I would have to say Illuminations. We have never seen it and it is going to be the one thing I insist that we do -- no matter what!

 

[Camster0307]

So.........what's your opinion of Illuminations? Does it rank up there with "Wishes"? I just love that extra holiday part - "Let There Be Peace on Earth" - makes me cry every time! Great pix, btw! LOVE the BW shots! Can't believe we'll be back there in less than three weeks!

we want a dream!!!!! this was my 5th trip to disney during the year(s) of a million dreams promotion and i hadn't won squat.

This reminded me of a thread that was on here a while ago when people were trying to figure out what Disney's new promotional theme was going to be this year. Someone posted: It was "Year of a Million Dreams"; next it should be: "Year of a Million Guests Who Didn't Win Squat!"

I'm glad to hear that. You will love it. It's beautiful!
I think it's cool, too, that standing all around that lake watching it with you are families and friends from all over the world - all right there in that one area.

And to make the night even better, once it's over, you will just have to walk right out the back gate to be back home for the night. You'll really love that!



Dawn, thanks for all the Illuminations and other videos. They add so much to a report. I have watched that one Jill put up of Brooklynn dancing, if you can call it that, about twenty times. I wish we had done a lot more. We'll really have to make a more concerted effort in the future to do more video.

I enjoyed your videos and pics. Illuminations isn't my favorite, so I can go without it, but my kids have never seen it. I'm sure that we'll see it in June.

 

[tinkgurl]

Whoa, those pics from Illuminations are great! And isn't the Boardwalk so pretty at night?

 

[disneybound2010]

PHEW! I am finally caught up! Glad to see that your arm is healing nicely. I can remember a few falls I have had that resulted in some "fun" bumps, bruises and pained bones!

The Illuminations videos are great. I loved all the beautiful pictures of them,too. DS(2) is now becoming as obsessed with Disney as I am. I showed him the fireworks(far-woks in his language ) and all he could do was say Disssey Word! I see far-woks! I go Disssey Word NOW!

Thanks for such a fun TR. DS and I are looking forward to more!

I can't believe that was all your first day, you got so much done! Isn't the end of your first day the BEST? You're finally able to leave the real world behind, you're fully immersed in the magic, and you still have your whole vacation ahead of you LOVE IT! Great pics of Illuminations, I love that show so much. Its definitely my favorite

 

[LISAMWDW]

All caught up again. Great updates! I wish we had an Ikea close by. We have to drive to Chicago, prolly 3 hours away.

 

[ktmetke]

Wow, I can't believe that was all in your first Day!

 

[Happy Elf]

Fantastic pictures! Hannah enjoyed watching the videos.

 

[Megablocks]

Those are some amazing Illuminations pictures--I'm hoping to get some decent firework pictures but I still need time to play around with some of the settings. I really like Anna's funky picture, too!
