I'm totally game for Tree Quest '10
And hopefully I'll have 2 shots at it, yup yup!
But for me ... asking what photos I'll be taking is a silly question: Everything!! Although I think maybe I'll try a land a day. How about that?
True - about taking photos of everything. But Tree Quest is not as easy, I think, as it sounds. You have to actually look in places where you might not normally look or go. And some of the trees will be be teeny ones in window displays or in small planters, as well as the ginormous ones! There is even a hidden tree at the GCH that I have passed by a couple of times. It may not be easy to photograph, but I've seen it!
None of us will find all of the trees - we would literally have to count all of them, and that would be tough at the Round-Up, where there are tons of bare trees. But we can make valiant attempts!
Tree quest sounds Awesome! I'm game!
Woo hoo! Kylie is on board for Tree Quest too!
Clever idea about the Santas, Sherry E. I am game. Now we are going for three days, but I never seem to take as many pictures when I am with my family as when DH and I go together. I'll see what I can do.
I would like to take as many pictures of the Christmas scenes on the Main Street windows, what decorations they have up in the new finished areas of DCA, any areas that are planned for the remodel, but have not been started on yet, and Christmas goodies.
Liza, the good thing is that Santa quest won't take too long. We know where all 5 Santas will be, unlike Tree Quest, where we actually have to hunt them all down - and some of them don't look very much like trees. So it should be easy to fulfill Santa Quest as long as you can make it to all 3 hotels at the right times when Santa is there - that's the key! Timing! Getting to each hotel and finding Santa while he is there! That's what will make it difficult to accomplish, I think. But a challenge is fun!!
Yes, window displays are a great idea too!!
I think what you say makes a lot of sense...both the newness of the whole Halloween "event" (I think many people previously hadn't thought to plan a special trip fjust for Halloween, whereas many plan their trips specifically for Thanksgiving/Christmas/Winter holidays) plus it moving over to DL with all the speculation and thirst for every scrap of information that involved and and then the whole "how will WOC fit into this" interest?
I am hoping this takes off, too, though, as I WANT and NEED to see pictures and read details.
Perhaps it is just too soon - maybe people just aren't as focused on it now, and interest will pick up as we closer to December...and as we all wean ourselves from the Halloween thread,
Well you know I am on Tree Quest..do the 700 trees include the ones in DTD? I think between my end of Nov trip, your trip and Belle Ella's 2 trips (fingers-crossed), and hopefully recruiting a few more photo-centric Disneyholics, we CAN do it.
OK, how come you put about the bathroom signs? I thought that was MY
secret goal
...and I honestly cannot believe anyone else even thought to do that. I noticed the really cool alien bathroom sign at Space Mtn on our last trip and I tried to take some shots, then decided that was a goal this trip (probably just women's signs, though
) - I've already perused the park maps and made a list of all the bathrooms at both parks. Is this TMI?
I also have a whole list of shots that I've seen on the Photo of the Day thread that I hope to attempt to replicate. And, character shots...my kids are too big and won't get pictures with them any more, so I just try to sneak shots on my own of them.
Oh yes, of course all the DTD trees count (in shops and restaurants too)! Remember, though, think of Tree Quest as a real treasure hunt of sorts. We have to actually poke our heads into shops and restaurants and out of the way nooks where we might not have otherwise poked!! This is where the challenge will be!
I know that none of us will get all 700 trees, but it will be fun to see who comes back with the MOST tree photos!!
It sounds like Liza has more photos to post in the Halloween thread, so it won't be totally put to rest yet. As long as there is still stuff to post, I'm game for keeping it active. It just started to look like it was fizzling so I thought, Oh well...we'll wait until someone has a Halloween question and then bump it up. But I think Jazz has some new Halloween PhotoPass photos that she can share as well!
DLR bathroom signs have been a secret quest of mine for a while - but again, just like with Tree Quest and Santa Quest, there are challenges! So I have only gotten a couple. Pink Budgie had a thread a long time ago with some fun photos of many of the DLR bathroom signs! I'll see if I can find it.
I can tell you that ToonTown and A Bug's Land have adorable bathroom signs! Be sure to check those out! But there are so many to discover - it's a virtual treasure trove of signs - again, in places where you might not normally be looking.
Sounds like fun Sherry, I'll play along with the Tree quest as well as my game with skiingfast of taking pics of all the ride vehicles at the DLR next month. I'll be just by myself and taking pictures of the ride vehicles, I can take some time and take some pics of the trees around the resort. So count me in the tree quest. This will at least keep me active when I go on my solo trip to DL in less than two weeks.
My original plan when I go to DL next month is to take pictures of the Holiday decorations, Christmas trees, Holiday food porn, and Holiday dressed up characters. It wouldn't hurt to go to the hotels and DTD and take pics of the trees in the lobbies.
Woo hoo! Bret's on board for Tree Quest, too! I want to see who on this thread comes up with the most random, obscure, out-of-the-way trees! The ride vehicle idea sounds great!
Haha I think I can take pictures while I'm being wheeled out, cute EMT bums and faces coming right up!
It would totally make sense for that to be in the Holiday thread right??
Of course it would make sense!
If they are wearing Santa hats or have Christmas pictures drawn on their bums, then it fits here...
(Just kidding 
)
