Dorothy goes to MNSSHP!!! A quickie trip to WDW update 10/23

[jenseib]

We did the one day MM too. It was so easy to do and I liked that we could have it for our party day. My sister was connected to my account so her pictures were on it too which made it even better.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Following along and enjoying. WOW Spain with just a back pack I could never.

I know! I usually over pack, but this time I didn't! LOL

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Hey y'all! (Sorry, I have friends from the South and they were up visiting earlier in the summer... I miss them! I promise I will finish this TR, but I'm hoping to do it in September or October. It seems silly to talk Halloween this early. Since I'm leaving for WDW in FOUR days, I really don't have much time right now either. I can do that TR anytime as to me, it's always summer in Florida! Hee hee

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I'm baaaack! I went to WDW in August with my sister, my brother in law and their two girls. Her older, 22 year old son (I took him to WDW when he was 12!!!) was unable to come. He now lives in Edmonton and couldn't get the time off. This means lots of photo editing to do, besides still working on Photobooks from OLD trips, but oh well. I want to get this TR done as well. I like re-living my trips.

So I was now nearing the castle, and totally loving the Fall decorations!

There was a little show happening at the castle, so I stopped to watch it and snap some shots.

[jenseib]

I watched part of that show too

 

[MeghanEmily]

I loved all the festive clothing.

Agree - these costumes are amazing!

You got some beautiful photos!

 

[thumper*]

Still following along glad you haven't given the TR up.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I watched part of that show too

I liked it, although I never took the time to watch the whole thing. Maybe if if I were there for longer, not just from 4-12 one day. LOL

Agree - these costumes are amazing!

You got some beautiful photos!

Totally! And thank you so much.

Still following along glad you haven't given the TR up.

Nope, I'm just a SLOW POKE! And I'm happy you're still herel.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I walked away from the show because I wanted to go on some rides.

from raw-0222 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0223 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0224 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I took the shortcut into Adventureland...

from raw-0227 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0228 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I took a look around some new areas.

from raw-0229 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And even spotted some behind the scenes construction.

from raw-0231 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0233 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0236 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

No food for me here tonight. Maybe one day?

from raw-0241 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0242 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0243 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I really do enjoy walking around the parks too. I was enjoying the atmosphere, knowing I just got there, but also knowing I was leaving in the morning!

from raw-0244 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0245 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I'd been able to get ONE fp+, and it was for this ride:

from raw-0251 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0255 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

If you've never read any of my TRs, I like to take pictures on the rides and in the queues as well. I just like to photograph the parks as a whole. My camera gets most of its use in Florida! LOL I do enjoy taking pictures, but I'm not an every day photographer. I am more like a special events photographer!

from raw-0302 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I found it easier to get the shot here for some reason.

from raw-0307 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I'll hopefully be back tomorrow to do another update... I only have two weeks until Halloween!!!

 

[MeghanEmily]

Great photos!

No food for me here tonight. Maybe one day?

Recommend it on a future trip! We really enjoyed it both times we were there!

I'd been able to get ONE fp+, and it was for this ride:

If you only get one FP+, this is a pretty good one

Love these!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Great photos!

Thanks.

Oh good! I'll look into it for another trip.

If you only get one FP+, this is a pretty good one

I like to think so! I love POTC.

Love these!

Thanks!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

We left of riding POTC. There are more than a few more pictures I took from the ride!

Beautiful photos! For a moment I felt like I was back there I really need to learn more about how to take good dark photos, especially for things like dark rides!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I love Thomas Kinkade's work, and I love puzzles... I keep looking at his puzzles every time I go to Florida.

from raw-0422 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0423 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Once out of the store, I took some pictures of the palm trees blowing in the wind. I love palm trees. They make me think of Florida, warm weather and Disney!

from raw-0425 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Then I decided I wanted to get a treat. I LOVE the Citrus Swirl. So I had to go grab one!

from raw-0428 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Their new spot!

from raw-0431 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

So I sat, enjoying my Citrus Swirl. I was enjoying my evening. I was sad I was leaving in the morning, but I was going to enjoy my time at the MK for that night!

I decided to snap a few shots of the pretty flowers nearby.

from raw-0432 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0434 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0436 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And head towards a ride.

from raw-0437 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I've still never been on that one, so that's not the one I was planning to ride!

EWY!

from raw-0440 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I think I saw those when I took the shortcut in towards Liberty Square.

from raw-0441 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I love the popcorn buckets. I eat the popcorn, but I love the buckets. Any Disney buckets. I use them in my classroom. They hold crayons, or pencils, or straws... whatever I want!

from raw-0442 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0444 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0446 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

It was still a little crowded:

from raw-0447 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

TWO BELLES!

from raw-0449 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0452 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Nope, wasn't going on that either.

It's Mike Wazowski!

from raw-0453 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0454 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0455 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0464 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Oh, here it is!

from raw-0467 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0470 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I love even the fake palm trees!

from raw-0471 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I don't remember having a FP+ for this one, but I can't see the wait time in order to know if I went standby. I guess it doesn't matter, I know I rode it!

from raw-0473 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0475 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Oooh... is the right or left the fp line for this one? I'm on the right from the looks of these pictures.

from raw-0478 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0479 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0509 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0510 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I think they need to lower their flash a little bit... look how much of the background you can see here!

What camera do you have? When it comes to dark rides, the camera and the lens make a HUGE difference. I'm not an expert, but I know enough to help, so if you have questions, ask away!

I love getting that feeling of "almost" being back there!

My camera is nothing special, I just have the Canon Rebel. But I'm hoping to upgrade to something kind of mid-range within the next couple of years. I'll keep that in mind—I may be bugging you with some questions in future!

Hey now, I started out (my first DSLR) with a Canon Rebel! Which one? I had a Rebel XT, then I upgraded to a Rebel T1i, and then I got a Canon 60d. I've had that one since 2012. Now I learned a lot, mainly through experience, but also with reading and challenging myself, so I have improved, but with a fast lens, your camera might be able to do okay with the dark rides. I know I did okay with the T1i. Not so much with the XT.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

After Space Mountain, I just HAD to go ride another favorite. While riding, I actually called ... um, was it my sister (the one I call Rose in the TRs) or my friend (the one I call Blanche in my TRs). I can't remember! I'm horrible, sorry. But it was a year ago today that I was there!

from raw-0515 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Yep, the Peoplemover! I love that ride.

from raw-0525 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I'm not sure what was happening here... maybe fixing lights?

from raw-0526 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Another one I like to get in, but not on a one day trip!

from raw-0531 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0535 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-0536 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr
