Ok, I've finally started converting JPEGs and downloading to photobucket. I have a bunch that need some white balance changes and I just starting trying out Nikon Capture NX and haven't quite figured out all the the bells and whistles yet.
Day 1 was the most tragic day, though I didn't know it till Day 5. Like I had mentioned in previous post, my camera fell about 2 feet or so right on the edge of the lens. Initial inspection showed damage to the lens hood (which was on backwards, if it had been on as it was intended, it probably would have been smashed, but would have saved the lens, oh well, live and learn). Camera turned on, lens came off and went back on, took a test shot and it seemed fine. Only other stressful part of the day was the drive into Boston. It was rainy and just after the start of rush hour. Going into Boston from the North really s-u-c-k-s!!!!!! Luckily there were no accidents, but it was moving real slow, slower than normal. Though once we hit the HOV lane it was smooth sailing and that made me feel better.
After checking in at the hotel we wandered around the grounds a bit. We let the kids play in the playground, checked out the gift shop. Went back to the room and gave DS a little present he's wanted for a long time. A BLUE lightsaber! Talk about being excited. We had dinner reservations at Boatwrights at 6:30. I thought that would be an easy one. No sence in going out to a park with the kids after a long day. The food was very good. DW, Dfil, and I each had prime rib, Dbil had jumbalia (sp?) and Dsis had some sort of vegi thingy. Kids has pizza and were happy.
Got the kids to bed. DW and her dad were tired so they stayed behind with the kids while I headed to MK with Dsis and Dbil. That was a great night. Also one of the few nights I brought a tripod with me. We rode PotC, HM, SM, BtMR and Buzz (twice, once with Andy).
I've read it here a few times. You can see pictures of the castle lit up and it looks awesome. However, when you see it in person. WOW! Pictures certainly do not do it justice. It is certainly a sight to see. I'm glad I was able to see it a number of different times.
Here are some pictures from the days events:

Meetinp with Dsis (her and Dbil came in from Jersey)

I love these little plastic type looking statues of the characters they have all over the world: These are in the POR gift shop:

I got one with a bad gun, only scored 14,000 points and that's only from the 100 points you get just from holding down the button all the time. Oh well; MIB at "the other park" is still my favorite of all time.
