Most likely more, one, so far.

Great shots, as always!
You and I took several almost identical pictures. Great minds think alike.
Here are mine:
More please!
Very similar indeed, Blondie, neat pictures. Liking your new digital???

Those are some great pictures, I especially like the first one. And now I want to stay at the Swan!
I was there at the end of May, and thought it might be you I saw, but now I am sure seeing the pictures of Michelle and Margie. You didn't happen to notice a woman and child looking geeky in matching t-shirts did you?
I did not notice, Aidensmom, but you should have yelled to me. Where were you then?

Hiya, Dan!

Fantastic, beautiful pictures as always. The one that got me all homesick to go back to the Dolphin was the picture of the escalators.

Time to start planning another trip, I guess. Looks like you had fun--can't wait to see more!
Hey, how was Picabu's? Tubbi's was dd's favorite restaurant. We were there during the renovation and she was traumatized that it was closed.
Picabu's was great. Virtually the same at Tubby's, just a new name and decorations/paint. They also blocked off the window in the elevator corridor, where many people (me included a few times earlier on) went down to get into Tubby's, only to find out it was not an entrance, LOL. Food was great. If you have
AAA, make sure to use, 20% discount, as in all the S/D restaurants, except Blue Zoo and Shula's.

Thanks Dan!
only you would offer background music to your pictures!!
Now where the heck is the Fairy Garden? Is it new??
The Fairy Garden, as are so many other similar beautiful areas, are part of the annual Flower and Garden Festival in Epcot. The FG was set up in the rose garden area, near Imagination in Future World West.

I saw you at Innoventions that day, and then again a little later as you were taking the picture of that yellow flower! My son was a screaming, sweaty mess, though and I was at my patience for the day...so I didn't stop to say hello!
Glad you had a good time!
You should have brought your screamer over, would have enjoyed meeting him, and you guys.

Oh my goodness Dan....do you have any idea of how BAD I want to go back NOW!!??!!

I have to say that shot of Epcot with the rainbow is stunning. If you have the chance, could you send me a high resolution shot for my desktop??!!
I will get to you, Colleen.

Wow Dan, what can I add to everyone's praise except to agree and say your pictures are breathtaking. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
The Epcot area resorts are my favorites and just seeing those great shots of the area makes me want to hop in my car this morning, without a room reservation, and just drive over to walk around Crescent Lake. You take great pictures. (and the added music is fun!)
Who were those graduates you had in one of your shots?
Glad to see you on the Boards again. We were worrying about you last week. Don't be a stranger ~ we all need our Dan fix every now and again!
Not sure who the graduates were, just saw them all having a fun time lining up there while I was on my way to The Land. They did look hot though.

I...WANT...TO...BE...THERE...NOW!
But looking at your amazing pictures is certainly the next best thing! Thank you for sharing!!!
How was lunch at GG, btw? I'm planning this for next year's trip!
The lunch was very good, we enjoyed it. That said, for myself, I have never had a bad meal at any Disney restaurants. Some great ones, no bad ones. GG was very good, lots of fun with the characters.
Amy said:
Welcome back, Dan! I always love to see your pix - you have such a great eye. Who were the graduates in that one shot, do you know? And those shots of the rainbow at Epcot were awesome!
As above, Amy, not sure who they were.
Barb said:
Wonderful pictures, Dan!

So as you're on the boat going passed the Swan, how many of us still look for Ray's balcony lights? I do, every single time!
I still do look, Barb, and have told other, newer DIS'er, if they are on the boat with me, about that, and how nice it used to be.
And thanks for the good thoughts, comments everyone.
