My PhotoPass CD arrived today!

After some technical support from my amazing husband and some advice from Julie (aka-mousescrapper) I was able to open the pics and begin to prepare them to post!

I am just going to post the pictures of the days I have already covered in my TR. It may take two posts, but here we go!

ANIMAL KINGDOM DAY--April 20, 2009

That face is priceless!

These next two are among my favorites of the whole trip!

BLIZZARD BEACH--April 21, 2009

Continued in next post.....

BLIZZARD BEACH (cont.)


This next series of pictures is Jonah making his way across the icebergs in the Ski Patrol Training Camp area.

First MAGIC KINGDOM DAY--April 22, 2009

There you have it! Now I can just sprinkle the rest of them in with my regular report!

Hope you enjoyed them and Thanks so much for reading!

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

Love it!

Where did you guys get the shirts you wore to Magic Kingdom? You look so cute!!! DH and I would love them!

 

[MagicShell]

What a great update. I do believe Isiah could sleep anywhere. Good for him. He must always be very relaxed. Your parade pictures were great. Jeff did a good job. And, the underarm picture got a laugh so that's good too. Your photopass pictures are great. I have never done that but I would really like to.

I got those shirts for everyone at Christmas time at the Disney Store online. They were really cheap...like $3 per shirt...I got a great deal!

I'm not sure how relaxed he is, but that boy can sure take advantage of the Power Nap!

Glad you liked the underarm photo...it's a family favorite!!

I only purchased one print from our PhotoPass account in 2007, so I wasn't sure what would happen on this trip. I made a conscious effort to get more Photopass pics taken...especially with the whole family. When I got home, after looking at what we had, it made more financial sense to order the whole CD than to pay $15 per picture to download or print. There were enough good ones that I would have wanted....therefore...we now have the CD! Thanks for the compliments!

Love all the photopass pics...very cool! I like that they had photopass people at the water park too...thats nice!

 

[shebaxric]

I go on vacation and and miss soooo much!! You have been an updating machine girlfriend! And what wonderful updates they've been. I love Omar!!! Doesn't it make your Disney experience that much better when the CM's love their job?? It's all about the magic! The armpit picture had me ROTFL!!! That and the picture of Isaiah asleep is priceless!! That looks like my DH, he can totally fall asleep anywhere, from the sofa to a movie theatre with an action movie playing!! If he's tired, he will fall asleep! I cannot wait to see the result of the scissors appointment!

The water park pics was one of the things that sold me on the CD. You don't carry your camera around obviously, so having pictures from there was a definite selling point!

I go on vacation and and miss soooo much!!

Vacation?? Where'd you go, where'd you go??

I love Omar!!! Doesn't it make your Disney experience that much better when the CM's love their job??

DEFINITELY!! Anyone with training can run an attraction, but not everyone can pull off spreading the magic!

The armpit picture had me ROTFL!!!

Right there with ya!!

That and the picture of Isaiah asleep is priceless!! That looks like my DH, he can totally fall asleep anywhere, from the sofa to a movie theatre with an action movie playing!! If he's tired, he will fall asleep!

It's crazy! I can sleep pretty much anywhere if I'm tired, but on the street with my head between two barrels?? Probably not!

I cannot wait to see the result of the scissors appointment!

I'll get that update up soon!

 

[nu2wdisneyw]

YAY! Photopass pictures!!! I love them. The ones at BB are amazing...I am one that loves "action" shots. You can just catch all of the emotion in those photos and smiles are not "forced"! I can't wait to read more!

 

[shebaxric]

Vacation?? Where'd you go, where'd you go??

We went to the Outer Banks, NC. We stayed in a neighborhood called Duck, NC. I absolutely love it there, almost as much as I love WDW. We had a wonderful time, and I'm just getting back into the swing of things....

 

[mom2mek]

Oh my goodness...what fabulous pics you got! I agree...those Everest ones are fabulous - I love that you have the coaster going up the hill behind you! The BB ones are great - everyone looks like they are having a fabulous time!!!

I don't know how I missed this great report before, but I'm in! I'm late, but I'm in

I went back and read all your handy page links (btw, how do you do that? I've been trying to figure it out and I can't lol). You and your family are gorgeous! What a great trip you had

Can't wait for the next update

 

[Planning fanatic mom]

2 Questions:

1. The MK pics where the family is "Holding TInk". Did the CM tell you to stand that way or did you ask? I had heard that not all of them know how to do that.

2. How did you get your photopass card to the CM when you were on the lazy river?

13 Days!!!!!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Your PP pics turned out wonderful. Your group takes GREAT family pics! Such a good looking group, you are. So far, the castle pic is my fave.

Thanks for reading!

13 Days!!!!!

Answers!
1. The PhotoPass photographer told us to hold our hands that way. We got more pics later (up closer to the castle) and that photographer did it as well.
2. The PhotoPass photographers at the WP give you little cards that have rubber bands attached so you can carry them with you! Very cool!

YAY! Photopass pictures!!! I love them. The ones at BB are amazing...I am one that loves "action" shots. You can just catch all of the emotion in those photos and smiles are not "forced"! I can't wait to read more!

Me too! The lazy river shots of Isaiah and Jonah are wonderful!

Your PP pics turned out wonderful. Your group takes GREAT family pics! Such a good looking group, you are. So far, the castle pic is my fave.

Thanks! I wasn't really impressed with the castle pics at first, but they are growing on me!
