Nothing to See Here...

[deejdigsdis]

Thank you, thank you , thank you!! That's a little silly, though. I had no idea you could click and drag into a totally blank no-slot random spot on the page and another spot would magically be added. Anyway, I was trying to do a "lampposts only" page but I wasn't getting the desired effect with room for only 3 photos. Even though you'd be able to see them better with only 3 photos on the page, I wanted a bigger mix. So thank you! How long did it take to get your calendar? About 2 weeks?

Sherry just wanted to thank you again for the link and heads-up about the free Snapfish calendar. It arrived today and I love it. Very nice quality. YOU ROCK!

deej - Glad to hear you got it all figured out. Yep, it is totally silly the way they have it set up in Snapfish. It's all great once you have it figured out - and the finished product is really nice - but until that time, it appears as if you only have an option of placing 1, 2 or 3 photos on a page. There is absolutely nothing explaining that you can drag 15 photos over to each page! In fact, I don't know how I figured it out, really. I must have accidentally dragged something and noticed it.

I like the idea of a "lamppost only" page! That would be absolutely ideal for your calendar. I hope you will post photos. I'm anxious to see it.

I think it took about one week each to get the calendars. They make the calendars very fast. They ship them the next day after you place your order, basically. I think they sent me an e-mail telling me the calendar was on its way and I received it 6 days after that. It arrived in a big, flat cardboard carton/box thing via UPS, and no signature is required so they will just leave it outside your door if you are not home.

TK - Yay!! You're so welcome! I'm glad your calendar arrived!! Maybe you can post photos of it in your December WDW TR thread...or somewhere?? I'd love to see it. It is a good quality and size, isn't it? I was really surprised and impressed. I kept looking for flaws in it - dog-eared pages, scratches, tears, marks, incorrect dates on the calendar days, etc. There was nothing wrong with it. It was nicely shrink-wrapped in plastic. It was in perfect condition. The pages are nice and sturdy. And it really showcased the photos nicely - better than some other calendars I have seen. Plus, if you choose the Disney Parks layout like I did and you did, you also get the bonus of the WDW/DLR stock photos on the pages. I think it's a great value for the money.

I better get cracking if I want that calendar. I registered for a second one today. I am hoping for one from our June trip and one from the latest trip.

Ooooh, you're not kidding - you'd better get cracking, woman! Since today is almost over, you only have 3 days (I'm including 2/28 because I assume they will still let you order it on that day even though that's the end of the free offer). That's cutting it close for even one calendar, let alone two! Yikes! Once you get all the photos uploaded, you may want to fiddle with the shuffling layouts and all that.

But it will be a fun finished product! I assume Duffy will be prominently featured in the calendar featuring the photos from this latest trip?

Oh the majority of the pictures I took were of Duffy doing many different things. Some were so fun and people must have thought Dina and I were absolutely nuts. We had people comment to us, and we even had some small minded people commenting that we must be gay in DCA. It was a laugh to us, but it was annoyingly rude too.

They thought you "must be gay" because you had Duffy posing in DCA? Gee... People don't know when to keep their mouths shut, obviously. I can understand people not knowing who or what Duffy is, or where he came from. I can even understand not 'getting' the whole Duffy phenomenon. But why make stupid comments? So immature.

I was totally shocked. And it would be different if there had been some action that made it seem so. When he said it I stopped and said to Dina that he couldn't possibly be talking about us, and I said it loud enough that he could hear it just like, I would have been embarrassed if I were him. I got the idea he was because they hightailed it out of there. We laughed.

Our family spent an entire trip posing 'PAL Mickey' (the talking Mickey that would give you facts at WDW parks). We had a blast! Obviously some people are not blessed with the lightness of spirit it takes to be able to enjoy and find joy in the little things in life. Our Pal Mickey trip was much like Where's Waldo, Flat Stanley for school children, and your Duffy. These sticks-in-the-mud would probably never be caught dead taking pictures of their food for posting in their trip reports! Their lives are poorer for it.

Well said, TK.

I've noticed there seem to be three groups of people: 1) the ones who hate Disneyland Resort and everything it stands for; 2) the ones who enjoy it as just being a place to ride Space Mountain and Tower of Terror and buy a lot of Mickey Mouse merchandise; and 3) the ones who really 'get' Disneyland/California Adventure, enjoy being a kid there, enjoy the details of it, the history of it, the beauty of it - the whole immersive experience.

Those people who made the comment to Michele and her friend were probably the sorts who belong in group 2 - the ones who just see DLR as a place to ride fun rides and buy expensive merchandise. They probably don't really 'get' the whole Disney magic thing. And, while Disneyland IS that (a place to ride fun rides and buy expensive merchandise), as we all know here on the DIS, it is so, so, so much more than that, and if we can't be silly and just 'play' while at DLR, of all places, then where can we do that?

I always think that Disney is about the whimsy and the being a child again. I also cannot help but wonder why someone that doesn't understand fun even goes to someplace like Disney. And then I wonder if they have friends? If they don't understand seeing two old friends acting silly.

I think that they had been drinking too so add that in to the fold. "add alcohol instant....." You know?

 

[bumbershoot]

Y'all reminded me that I needed to get my own calendar done! Thanks!

I wondered about that, Michele. When you first mentioned that you were in DCA when the people/person made the comment, I considered the fact that alcohol may have been a contributing factor! That, and they just don't 'get it.'

Y'all reminded me that I needed to get my own calendar done! Thanks!

Well, hurry up, Molly! You and Michele are cutting it very close - and Michele is cutting it reallllly close, especially, if she is thinking she is going to get 2 calendars done between now and Monday! It took me a long while to create both of my calendars, because not every picture matches well with every photo slot they give you. You have to upload, you have to shuffle things around, you have to drag the photos over to each page and play with the layout. It's time consuming.

Hurry up, slowpokes!!

 

[kaoden39]

Sherry you would be proud, I have finished the June one and I am working on the one from the Duffy trip. I am conquering all.

 

[Sherry E]

Woo hoo! I am very proud! That is some progress! Did you already place your order for the first one (since I assume it's a separate account from the second one you're making)? I think a total of $13.14 is a great bargain for two quality calendars.

Did you end up going for the 15-pictures per page collage thing, or did you do the more minimalist 1-2-3 photos per page thing? Collage, right?

Collage on the first, the second I am not sure. I am still loading Duffy pictures. I took more pictures of Duffy than anything. It was fun to pose him and I got a lot of laughs out of it.

Woo Hoo! I just ordered my calendar! That took a lot longer than I was expecting. Good thing I didn't wait until the last minute. I just had soooo many pictures I wanted to use, so needless to say, most of my pages are very collage-y. And yes, I will definitely post pictures. I did a lampposts page, a Hidden Mickey page, a food page, and more stuff like that. Can't wait until it gets here.

Day 2 - December 13, 2010 - Part Five​

"

I am new to the Disneyland side of the boards but My wife and I are doing a road trip this summer around the country and will be spending a few days in Disneyland. I love this picture and Would love to get a copy of it from you if I could. We are planning on trying to do a blog/report of our travels as we go and I think this would make a great picture for the top of the page!

Let me know what you think. Thank you for your time.

katman2540 - Hi there! I was so shocked to see a totally new name in this thread, not to mention that you found a photo that was buried in the depths of the report!!

Sure! If you need to use that photo, you're more than welcome to copy it and use it. I'm happy that I have something anyone could use! I assume you can copy/save it to your hard drive as is right now but if that doesn't work, let me know and I can always e-mail it to you as an attachment.

I really, really, really appreciate that you asked me first, though. Given some bad luck I've recently had with people stealing hundreds of my photos and doing what they wanted with them on the Internet - when all they had to do was ask my permission to use specific ones in the first place - I am extra sensitive about that subject. So I thank you very much for asking me if you could use the photo first, before you did anything with it!

 

[katman2540]

Thanks Sherry. I would never steal someones picture for use like that. I try and take tons of pictures myself and will always share them when asked but Until asked they are my creative output. I am still working my way through your trip report. I love all of the detailed pictures you took because of your quests. I am going to pm you my e-mail address because when I try and save the picture it comes through as a very small file and I would love the higher quality one to use for this. Thank you again and Thanks for righting your trip report. My wife and I are enjoying seeing what we have to look forward to on the Disneyland part of our trip!
