I'm glad you're back. Great POC shots!
Not sure if anyone is still interested, but I thought I should at least attempt to finish up this TR so I can move on to September 2009's TR.
Again, as before, the majority of photos are straight of out the camera as I have no time to post process and don't really know what I'm doing anyway. I promised RobertTG more POTC pics, so they will be posted here. I hope he sees this.) Anyway, on with the TR....

Thank you so much! I'm glad to be back and glad you're here!I'm glad you're back. Great POC shots!
Thank you Mike! I really appreciate it especialy coming from you!Always love your shots.
Thank you thmar! I appreciate it. Glad to see you back here!Thanks!! Looking forward to September TR. I agree with KCmike.."always love your shots."
Thank you Robert! I was hoping you'd stop by. I posted all those POTC pics just because you asked me to and because I said I would. Better late than never huh?Oh WOW! What GREAT pictures. Fantastic, just looking through them makes me feel like I've just been on the Pirates ride and Haunted Mansion..... Thank you for the extra trip to Disneyland.
July should be better than when I went in mid June. The So Cal AP holders come out in droves during the middle of June because they will be blocked out all summer until late August. There were reports that July 4th, which is a notoriously busy time normally, was slow this past year because for the first time all the APs were blocked out except for Premium AP holders. In my experience, Saturdays are now even better than Sundays because all the SoCal Aps, and during certain times of the year (The busiest times), the Deluxe Aps are blocked out too. Sorry, when I went in June, it was crazy busy during the weekdays but again that's because the SoCal APs were going to be blocked so they all came in for one last fix before being blocked out. When I normally go, in the winter during the Xmas holiday rush, the weekdays are better than the weekends except for Saturdays. Saturday is the new Sunday because most APs are not blocked out on Sundays.Thanks for posting all this info and also the great pics! My DH and I went to DL for the first time in Nov 2008 when the crowds weren't too bad...until the Friday before Thanksgiving-yikes!
We're hoping to take our kids this July. I was thinking we should try to do DL during the middle of the week-maybe Tuesday or Wed? We are early risers when on vacation-especially with being East Coasters. Did you notice that the crowds were any better in the middle of the week versus the weekends?
Also, how late is DL usually open til?
TIA!
Hey DSF! Just followed you to your TR! Quick couple of questions from a photo (newb) admirer of yours.. What camera did you use for these shots? Did you find yourself switching Lens a great deal? Did you use mostly a zoom or standard? How much did you have to mess with the settings of your camera?
Thanks so much!
Coach, just wanted to add that on my September trip, I really didn't change lenses much more than in this trip (June). I also found that using the shorter focal lengths allowed me to see things a bit more creatively.
Wow! Just a wonderful set of photo's! I enjoyed every one of them as I travelled through Disneyland in my mind. It's a small world after all is STILL playing in my head.
Excellent photo's from Roger Rabbit car toon spin. My photo's of that ride are less cartoon and mostly spin.
I also love the photo's of the crowds and signs.... it makes me feel like I'm there.
Thanks again for my mini holiday.
Gorgeous photos! I just got back from a day trip Monday, but have already been itching to go again and looking over all of your photos definitely reminds me why. Good thing we have another trip planned in a few weeks!
Sort of OT, I've been stalking the Picture of the Day thread and your contributions, along with a few others, have really shown me some parts of Disneyland in new ways! I've always been really interested in photography and definitely play around with it myself a little bit, but the photos here really make me want to get more serious with it. Thanks for sharing your work!
