MVMCP - My Very Merry Chistmas Pre-Trip Report

[PoppyGirl]

I bleieve that would make it the butt crack of dawn!

Now THAT made me

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

Hey if your handing out prizes I want one too! DISboards- the gift that keeps on giving!

That's awesome that you are under four months! I feel like my ticker will never say that!

I love that camera. It looks like those FlipCam thingies that my students use all the time for projects.

It is pretty much the same as the FlipCam. I've been reading up on these things. There seems to be an issue with battery life for the FlipCams. Not sure if this thing will have the same issues. Once it is released, should be Tuesday, I will read reviews from people who are using it in real life.
I already have a video camera, and a digital camera. If this thing is as good as Panasonic says it is, I might buy this so I don't have to carry two things.

Oh, and here is your prize. I just got a new shipment in.

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

I think the secret is out... now everyone will want a prize

OK, if you haven't gotten a prize there is a box in the corner full of them. Feel free to grab one on your way back to your resort.

 

[francis6306]

ok, I can let you have one too. But don't go telling everybody because then they are going to want one too, and I only have so many available.

Oh yes... I want one too!!!

And yes, I believe your flight will be the buttcrack of dawn! Good luck with that!

I don't know if this will work or not, but here is the first 6 minutes of our trip from 2007. I marked it as private, so if you can't view it let me know. I'm sure I can mark it as public, but limit what people can do with it.

2007 Video

 

[jenseib]

Yeah, it says marked as private, so I can't see it.

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

Yeah, it says marked as private, so I can't see it.

OK, I changed it to unlisted, so you can only find it with a link. Let me know if it works now.

NOOO! That won't be me. I plan on hitting the lottery while I am down there, and just moving in permanently.

The camera looks good, and sounds like a great device. Great price too. The only downside is the lack of zoom, but I can live with that I guess.

The link works, great video!!!!

I can never surprise the kids with a trip because I am too excited and need to talk about it... I think my whole family thinks I'm nuts... I am so glad I have the Dis where people understand me

I'm with you! Keeping this secret is killing me!!!!

OMG!! That video is hilarious. And I have to say I love how th dog got in the frame you you push him out of the way. And she totally doesn't get it...Candyland is way more important at the moment.

 

[francis6306]

That is a cute video... Cortlyn enjoyed watching it!!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Too funny! I love her expressions each time you asked her what place was the video and then if she wanted to go. She was like.... "yeah uh-huh guys, that's great and all but I can just play Candyland now??"

Lesson learned. If I ever do it that way again, the Disney Trip will NOT be the last present opened. First it was Candyland that was more important than going to Disney, and then for the phone call from Mickey, the Dora video that was playing behind me was more important.

There is another 40 minutes or so of video, so I may just create videos of each day of our 07 trip.

 

[stephielela]

Great video! My regular camera takes short videos... maybe I could do a video/photo montage...

Her reaction is just so awesome! Has she watched the video recently? What does she think of her 4 year old self?

I think you could too. My digital camera can take 10 second video snippets, and for a music montage, you can have 5 seconds at a time.

 

[Katie & Glen]

ok, time for another little story about my planning. This will probably be a short one. After this I think I am out of stories about planning this trip, other than anything that may come up, and updating my day to day plans once I start studying the maps to figure out what to do in each park. I have to figure what the wife and youngest can do while the oldest and I go on a ride that the youngest is too small for. She was a bit upset that she couldn't go on all the rides at the local fair recently. So I need to make sure she is doing something fun while her sister does something else.

OK, that wasn't what I set out to write about.

I was sitting on my laptop, and listening to different Disney songs. You know like the Princess Medley from Fantasmic. I played it for my wife and asked her what she thought of the song. She listened for a few moments and said that is nice. So I kept looking around, and played another song and asked her what she thought of it. She of course liked it. After a few more songs she asked, "What are you doing?" I said I was picking out music for the photo medleys I will include in the vacation video. She rolled her eyes, and said, You are planning on what you will be doing after a vacation you aren't taking for 6 months! Doesn't everybody have music picked out for their vacation videos?
I'm not weird am I?
I should try to upload some of the video from the last trip onto Youtube. I think that is pretty easy, I've never done that before.

Nope, you're not crazy. A few weeks ago we picked two songs. One for a photo montage and another for our dancing video we will attempt to make.

I'm not crazy? Finally somebody agrees with me. I hope Katie isn't crazy.
