After stuffing my face with more sugar than I should of, Sophia and I decided to stake out a spot for wishes. Although you are assigned seats, you can get up and go over to the railing as well. Obvioulsy since we wanted pics, we did this. People looked kinda pissed that we were blocking their view, but the CM's said we could stand there..sorry peeps, you'll have to stand for this one!
We thought, I guess assumed that wishes was starting soon, but we winded up waiting a bit. So what did we do?? Took pics lol. Sophia was awesome and lent me her mid range lens for me to practice shooting with and she used her big bad mama jamma lens..seriously, this thing was as big as her head! Very intimidating!
While we were waiting, I became OBSESSSED with how "Tink" flies across during wishes.. I was just not getting it! I took sophias lens and kept trying to look into the very top of te castle to see if I could see her come out, I used my borrowed lens, I took pics, I mean I just didn't get how she flew across, and how she got onto that wire! Finally she did come out and I got a crap shot of her, since I was too obsessed with checking out how she did it!
See the little spec of green..yeah, that's my shot of Tink!
Although i did not get the shot that I wanted, I did finally figure out how she is connected and able to fly across.. I hope that person gets paid well! Seriously! John insists that it is a stunt MAN up there..not a stunt woman, cause there are none of them... jerk lol
BTW, seeing tink fly like that made Kayla's trip! Meeting her was awesome, but to see her that up close "FLYING". She was smitten and so was I. I had big tears in my eyes, which made it hard to take pics...but the camera hid my tears from the kids, so it worked out lol.
As usual, wishes was amazing, and remains my favorite fireworks in all the parks. I love illuminations more than ever, but wishes/hallowishes has my heart! I tried to get the best shots I could with the lens I borrowed, but I still have no clue about the rest of my camera..so pics are only as good as the photographer.... Just keep that in mind as you look lol
This is a shot of the part where they are talking about the villains and the fireworks look like a ghoul.. it's my fav shot.. Not a great shot, but I think you can tell it looks like a ghoul..right?? lol
I love how the Castle is just like black in the background on this next one! i swear i did not photoshop or anything. I also have no clue how or why it turned out that way! Not a great pic, but I like the eeriness of it!
OMG, are you so sick of all my fireworks shots yet lol! I clearly do not know how to limit my pic taking!
Once wishes was over, we all decided to head to Buzz and see what the wait was like..whattya know?? walk on! Boo Ya!
During the ride Jophia yelled over to me and showed me their outrageous high score of 999.999.. the highest you can get! and they BOTH got it!! I was jealous lol. Joe told the CM and the Cm gave them a certificate and buttons recognizing their achievement! Pretty cool if you ask me!
After that it was time to head back "home". We were all beat! But today had been a good day and tonight had been an even greater night! I was thrilled to be able to surprise John. Above all, I think he liked the fact that I was able to keep my lips zipped!
Tired, but Happy!
*Next up- John birthday day! and the park all to ourselves??
