[ben1993]

Just back from a magical christmas trip to DLP with my friend, first trip in 8 years and first time seeing the resort at christmas! Tuesday 9th November was our first day, after arriving at CDG, finding the vea shuttle and checking in at Hotel Cheyenne, we excitedly rushed to Disneyland Park by mid day

Seeing the castle right there in reality was breathtaking, I can't remember it being so beautiful from my past trips as a kid. I was amazed.

I was so excited for Space Mountain, after admiring it from outside every trip I had been on sicne I was too small!, I couldn't wait to ride, honestly I thought I could be dissapointed because it is so hyped, but WOW. Best coaster EVER.

Thank you! I was really unhappy with my night shots as I took them all on the last ngiht and my battery was dying, I was trying to snap as much as I could quickly, switching the batterys around loads

Anyway, I can't remember when I took specific photos I'll just post the rest of my daytime Disneyland Park shots for now

This is actually about half an hour before we left, Minnie was alone in the Cheyenne reception, there was almost nobody around so I ran up to her straight away!

Okay I posted alot more Disneyland park pics than I expected, next post will be WDS and night time pics!​

Amazing photos! Are you an art student by any chance?

 

[ben1993]

Thank you, and yes I am actually not photography though, I want to be a concept artist in the theme park industry, imagineering is the dream! Everyone thinks you need a really expensive SLR to get good shots but you dont, I've got a Nikon L110, its not that fancy, only cost £130.

Good luck with that

If its not the camera, it must be the technique, what do I do wrong

 

[Disneyfanswicklow]

Your photos are fantastic! looks like a lovely holiday - thanks for sharing

Fantastic photos, thanks so much for sharing. You really do have a great eye, all I ever take are rubbish photos of us in front of Christmas trees or with characters That one with the blue sky looks out of place, I guess you took that on the Wednesday?! lol
My BF has a great eye for photos and I'm getting him a fancy new camera for xmas so hopefully when we get back in June I'll have some more lovely photos to show off and not just silly ones!
