Fantastic pics Mike!! Keep 'em coming. What equipment are you using? Thanks again for the pics.

 

[Ciciwoowoo]

Love your pictures! Thank you for sharing them with us!

 

[IggyLans]

Amazing!!!!!

 

[Simba's Mom]

I'm amazed that you got all those beautiful pictures around WS with no one in the picture. The streets are empty! How do you do that? I'm especially interested in the one in France by the fountains. I've never seen it empty like that during the day, even when I'm one of the first ones at rope drop from the International Gateway at 11:00. So what's your secret? And do you run to Italy to be first there? Love those!

I just yell out, "could you all please move to the side, I'd like to take a picture"!

Do you use a wide angle lens for these pictures?

Keep em comin!!! Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Disney Princess]

Your pictures brought a smile to my face. WS is just my favorite.

 

[DVC Mike]

Do you use a wide angle lens for these pictures?

Nope. I just use a simple point-and-shoot camera with everything set to automatic.

Can I ask--how was Kouzzina's?

 

[podsnel]

Well, THAT photo tour was a TON of fun- thank-you so much, Mike! It has me soooooooooooo happy we'll be there in 8 days....

I was listening to the PODcast today, from last week, while I was at the gym (I know, an unusual motivator, but it's mine, nonetheless!) and they were talking about CS and Celiacs.... my oldest is autistic, so I definitely have an interest- but I also thought about you and DW- do you ever venture to CS, or do you stick to TS primarily to feel safe? ( I personally stick to TS because...i really like TS! But I do like a little CS in my day sometimes....)

I was just wondering......and how many WDW vacations HAVE you had, lucky dogs!?

Thanks for sharing all those photos- have a great night!

Ellen

DVC Mike! Thanks for another photo tour. Looks like another well deserved vacation! How is BCV feeling now that you have stayed at BLT??

 

[rentayenta]

Love your Epcot WS pics!!!!

 

[JJZMgailey]

Hi Mike!

I've been reading your TR's for about a year or so now & I truly enjoy them so much! It's so wonderful that you take the time out of your vacations to generously share your adventures with all of us! Your pics are simply gorgeous!

I even had your trip on my calendar so I could come look for your live TR! I was all wrapped up with the Mom's Panel applicant thread for the last 2 days but now I'm all caught up on your report & can't wait for more!

Thanks again for sharing your vacation!!

 

[DVC Mike]

Awesome pictures!! What type of camera do you have?

A point-and-shoot Olympus Stylus 730

Can I ask--how was Kouzzina's?

The food was very good, but we thought the portions were a bit small for the prices.

I had the slow-cooked Lamb Shank served with Oven-baked gigantes beans and pepper sauce and it was great. The meat was so tender and tasty and just fell off the bone.

My DW had the spiced briami oven-roasted vegetables, oregano, and mazithra cheese served with herbed orzo.

Of course, I had the Baklava for dessert!

Despite the smallish portions, we've added Kouzzina's to our list of places to dine at WDW and we'll be back. In fact, I've already booked an ADR for our January trip.

Ellen,

I'm happy to eat CS (and did so on my solo trip to DLR earlier this year). However, my DW tends to eat solely at TS due to her numerious allergies (Celiac/gluten, Soy, etc) and food preferences (Vegetarian, low-sodium).

She will rarely eat CS and only when she know's it is completely safe. For example, she'll eat at the China CS in Epcot and order a plain bowl of rice. Kind of boring, but safe.
