Sorry I've gotten behind. The last week has been nuts again. We did Disney on ice last week and Katie had her first choir concert. And yesterday Timmy had his first ever tennis match. He seems to really be enjoying himself. They lost in doubles but he did win his singles match. I took some photos, but won't get them edited for a bit. I think photographing tennis is going to be TONS more interesting that shooting track or cross country. I mean, let's face it. I've taken hundreds of the SAME SHOT over the last couple years. Shooting through the fence is going to add a new wrinkle, but still, the variety of shots will make it worthwhile.
Timmy has another match today, then again on Thursday. I've forgotten how fun all this spring running is!
That would be awesome!
Come on Janet! It would be loads of fun!
I'm actually glad there isn't as much to do as
MNSSHP, I felt like we barely touched the surface then! I want to see the snow, the Castle lights and just soak it all in!
Man, I KNOW it would be fun. But I've heard the week before Thanksgiving is one of the slowest of the year. We actually did tht week in 02 and loved it. And I want to miss Jersey week. Not that any of it matters. We'll probably end up there in December.
I doubt I'll fully commit on anything until I'm more confident about the new Fantasyland opening. I REALLY want to eat at the new Be Our Guest Restaurant........ I bet they have $60 chicken nuggets there too!
We got to see her twice. She was at 1900 Park Fare on our night (total fluke). And then, we went by on DD's birthday to see her. She rocks. She is the original from the first day over five years ago. Amazing. I'm always afraid she's going to tire of it though.
Our plans are to go back for Star Wars weekends 2013. I really wanted to run the half-marathon next January, but I'm going to put it back a year so I can save up for annual passes instead. Then, my kids can go for Star Wars weekends AND I can run the half in 2014.
I can't wait to read more reports from you!
How AWESOME that your Drizella was at 1900PF for you! She wasn't there for us, but the one we had was incredible too. We had LOADS of fun. I can't wait to get to those pictures for the trip report!
Belive it or not, I'd LOVE to go to SWW. The boys wouldn't go... you know.... being Disney haters now and all.....
but they were HUGE Star Wars fan.... back in the day......I'd just love to see some marching Stormtroopers though. But alas....... I can't get over the heat issue. I'm just completely heat intolerent.
Still reading along, just not much time.
We caught the castle show this year and loved it! Of course my pictures are crap, but at least we saw it.
Sorry about the rain on BTMR. I can't even imagine being stuck on a ride in a downpour. I would have wanted dry clothes too.
Still loving your pictures!
Thanks Vanessa! That ride was a MESS. It's hard to explain how disorienting it was. Walk in, not one drop of rain. Walk through a completely EMPTY queue, exit ride in monsoon DOWNPOUR.... at a high rate of speed. Of course, I should have been prepared since it rained earlier. But it was dark out so I wasn't really aware of the weather once it stopped raining earlier. I couldn't see the clouds or anything.
Looks very close. I know they have different fireworks music though and then when the snow falls Katharine McPhee sings White Christmas. Someday I would love to see the Christmas processional at
Disneyland too. The overlays of IASM and Haunted Mansion's NBC are simply amazing.
When you went to DL did you get to see Remember Dreams Come True fireworks? It's my absolute favorite of all time.
Loving the report!
I would LOVE
to see the DL version. And hearing Katharine McPee singing White Christmas would be an awesome addition.
I don't remember which fireworks we saw. Dumbo circled the castle though. Now THAT was a sight to behold. Too bad I blew the shot!
Sorry for three posts in a row! One more question for the expert. Janet for the parades in the night would you suggest I use my 50 1.8 over my kit lens?
I would always use a fast lens over a kit lens for a night parade. I'm not a huge fan of the 50mm length, but if you're in a spot you can catch the parade coming down the street toward you (instead of straight on from the side) you'll be fine. And if you shoot on a high resolution setting, you'll be able to crop in for some close-ups.
Great
so now you are considering Nov and I'm NOT going at that time. Geez!!!!
I'm so glad you're at least formulating a back-up plan! I hope you work it out.
Catching up (again) I blame college for me always falling behind in the trip reports.
Wow Katie's Cinderella dress is fab and I love the shawl that went over it as well. That Snow White you got at the castle had some seriously dodgy make-up on there!
I love your pics from Magic Memories and you. I didn't get any great pics of that. We were to far back and my little camera isn't that great in the dark
Your parade pics are amazing as well love them. Snow White's skirt is so sparkly I want it
I also never noticed until I saw your pics all the dancing reindeer have names on their bows how cool
Thanks Petals! College is definitely an acceptable reason to fall behind. I'm afraid I'm way behind on everyone else's trip reports, so I'm not about to complain!
I also love the name tags on the reindeer. I think it was Prancer who came by to high five us.
And yes, I love
Snow White's sparkly skirt too. I've always wanted to do a similar version.
Mind you, Kadence asked that!
