It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

LL, oh, what lovely MK morning pics!!! I am thrilled that you posted some more last night after I went to bed, because that meant I woke up to them with my morning coffee!

Don't you just love the Halloween decorations???
 
Thank you soooo much for sharing those pictures. :goodvibes What a perfect morning!! :goodvibes
 
*eagerly awaits food porn* :laughing:
:lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2: I have lots more coming up!

Tons of great pics! You made my morning!!
Thank you! It's really nice being able to relive your trip while writing a TR.

Just a little FYI.....Disney had just started putting the lights Back-on the castle when LL got there. And the reason there were more Halloween decorations in early September is because this was the first year Disney had MNSSHP start that early in the month.
Thanks for the info Heidi. Where did you read about the castle lights?

Oh good! Nothing better than Disney pictures with morning coffee if you can't actually be in Disney that is.

Thank you soooo much for sharing those pictures. :goodvibes What a perfect morning!! :goodvibes
You are welcome! It was a GREAT morning. :thumbsup2
 
I am feeling generous so I am going to post some more pictures of our morning in Magic Kingdom. :goodvibes

Thanks so much!! :goodvibes This was perfect to wake up to. You got some really great shots. I just love the fall decorations and all the colors. I had heard about the special Halloween statues in the hub... I'm so glad you got pictures! Are there just Minnie and Goofy or are there more? :rolleyes1

After seeing the fall decorations, I am even more excited to go at Christmas time. I am hoping that if we wait until 2010, we might be able to do a really extravagent 9 or 10 day trip. :thumbsup2

Well now that would be something really worth waiting for!! That should help with the Disney blues. And there seems to be so much more to plan at holiday time - you want to hit the resorts to see their decorations, candlelight processional maybe, MVMCP, the storytellers around World Showcase, there is a special backstage tour of all the decorations, sleigh rides at Fort Wilderness -- and I hear the camp site decorations are not to be missed either! Fort Wilderness seems like it would be the perfect Christmas hotel. It just feels Christmasy naturally, I think!

There were more but I didn't take more pictures of them until later. I know I have one more picture for sure of the statues but may have another. I can't remember.

I have a feeling that this trip will be very planned.....seeing that I have two years to do it. :lmao: There is a lot I want to do and I know that you and TK are both going in December this year, so that will help with my plans. I totally forgot about the Candlelight Processional too! I do know that I want to see the resorts and I want to do the Christmas tour they do. I was actually looking at a 2010 calendar this morning. :rolleyes1
 
With all the edits I made, adding the logos and such, we had a total of 171 pictures. I think we had over 100 before I did the edits. The photopass photographers always take more than one picture and they usually pose you different ways. They were all really nice. I think it's worth pre-ordering the cd so you can save that bit of money. We didn't even hit up every single photopass photographer we saw either. Sometimes we were just too busy headed to the next thing or didn't feel like it, you know? My one piece of advice would be to take multiple photos in the same area if something is important to you. For instance, I really wanted photos of the castle lit up, so we did those a few different times so we had plenty to choose from. That way we had did photographers and different spots around the castle. I hope this helps! :thumbsup2


Thank you it helps a lot. I was unsure about ordering it but I think I am going to. :flower3:
 
I'm joining in on your TR if you don't mind. :) I loooooove all of your pictures. The Halloween decorations are so cool! Please post all your pictures...they're my favorite part of trip reports! :flower3:

Can't wait to read more.

Thanks for joining in! All our welcome. The Halloween decorations were just awesome, they really were. I can't wait for our next trip, we are going to go in December 2010 hopefully. Christmas is my favorite holiday so I just can't wait to see all the Disney Holiday magic!
 
I'm here! I made it over to your TR!!!! Great start!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you have joined in. I can't wait to hear more about your trip. Hearing about your daughter's custom outfits has made me want to sew again. Sadly, I haven't done it since High School, I think I am going to bug my mom for a refresher course.

This is great - only at Disney World can you be wearing a huge poncho, soaking wet, and still look thrilled like you just won the lottery!

You have a lot of great photopass pics - I ended up not buying the CD because we only ended up with about 80 pictures. And I am notorious for closing my eyes in pictures so only half of them were decent :laughing:

Do you think this conveys my excitement properly?

IMG_0478.jpg

YES! This picture is so fun! I always have the same dopey smile in all of our pictures, I need to take a cue from you :laughing:



This is such a neat picture too - I don't think I've ever seen a shot of main street from this angle!

Please, LL, forgive me hijack! I just had to interject briefly...

Philadisney...am I hallucinating, or were you on What Not to Wear? I know I read a thread a while back about a DISer being on. As LL and I are friends, I read her trip report, and even though your face is partially hidden in that photo, I said to DH, hey, isn't that the one who was on What Not to Wear?

If not, forgive me. :lmao:

Yes that was me :blush: I don't think they would have approved of my red poncho :rotfl:
 
LL

I love your pictures. I'm amazed at all of the details,
like the statues were even halloweeny:love: We are
going for Thanksgiving and I can't wait to see the
Christmas decorations.

I have some photopass questions, do you mind if
I pm you?

That is so true! If that was anywhere else I would have been less than thrilled.

We had quite a few with closed eyes or at least very squinty eyes that you can't tell are open or not but I love pictures so it's hard for me to resist the photo CD.

YES! This picture is so fun! I always have the same dopey smile in all of our pictures, I need to take a cue from you :laughing:
We tried to have fun with the pictures. There are some really funny ones coming up and not so great ones of me that DH has made me promise to post and while they don't show me in the best light, I am a trooper and they are funny.




This is such a neat picture too - I don't think I've ever seen a shot of main street from this angle!
Thanks! I really really want to take a photography class in the spring. I want to be able to do more with my camera!

The details are amazing. I was showing my parents my pictures this weekend and even my Dad commented on all the details and he is not a Disney person.
Of course I don't! PM away. :goodvibes
 
I love your pictures of the Magic Kingdom at Fall. It just reasserts my desire to go to one halloween party before DS is much older. We are going at Thanksgiving and can hardly wait to see the Christmas decorations. Looking forward to your next update!

The fall decorations were just gorgeous and I was a little worried about seeing MK different but it was really worth it. Hopefully the next update will be sometime today. :thumbsup2

It probably won't be until after my doctor's appointment, I am busy at work. So this afternoon/early evening. :goodvibes I think I might have to split it into two post because of all the pictures!
