I have heard alot of good reviews on the Sony DSLRs. I was really leaning towards the Pentax k-7 till I noticed the flip LCD on the Nikon. Since I am short, I like that I can hold it above my head and still see what I am shooting. LOL

Wow haven't read this in a few days.

Love all the pictures.

Thanks everyone...I did sleep last night and so did Belle..but woke up to a 103 fever. I spoke to the doc this morning and they said that this is not that atypical for pneumonia and that she could still have a fever today. They said they will do further testing if there is no improvement by tomorrow morning. Her lung exam is really good but she still has that horrible cough. The extra albuterol is definitely helping. Thanks fo the prayers...keep em coming.

Here are some more prayers. I hope your daughter is feeling better.

Ahh...back to a happy place. I'm lovin' all the pictures and this forum! (I knew I would feel better after a whole lot of "snarkiness" over at another one.) Thanks for taking the time to post your pics!!

Well, it has been a very bad week at work, but looking at everyone's pix helped. Here are some of mine.

My daughter could not keep her eyes opened during Wishes. She is with my mom.

This one is my favorite picture. My son hardly ever smiles. They were on Magic Carpet ride.

I have plenty more if anyone wants to see them. . . I didn't want to post a bunch of them and ruin it if those who haven't seen the OL before want to be surprised!

I can't wait to see the OL!!! I had no idea they were going to be so amazing! One of our favorite family things to do is drive around looking at holiday lights, I think the whole family is going to LOVE it!
We have never got to see Fantasmic and we have two chances on this trip. My question is, do we try to see OL after Fantasmic (will there be enough time?), or come back a different night just to see OL?

So much fun looking at everyones photos! REALLY makes me want to go NOW! And I got a new Canon bridge camera for Mothers Day so I am really excited to take lots and lots and pics this year!
We are getting there fellow Nov 10 travelers! But lets not forget to enjoy everyday leading up to it!!!

Finally got caught up on the thread. There were some really awesome pictures taken. Makes me want to plan out next trip for in the fall. I am already dreaming of the next trip while counting down for this one.

I came across and interesting post in the Disney Parks Blog today

Caramel Kitchen to open late September . . . the official name is Karamelle-Küche, German for “caramel kitchen,” and the new shop in the Germany pavilion at Epcot is themed like an Old World German caramel shop. A show kitchen will feature cast members making fresh caramel popcorn, caramel apples, caramel-covered strawberries and marshmallows. Werther’s Original candy will be on the shelves, and the shop also will include gourmet caramels, cookies, brownies, fudge and cupcakes. It’s the only free-standing retail location in the world for Storck, makers of Werther’s Original Caramels, and you’ll find some goodies on the shelves that you can’t find anywhere else. The shop replaces the Glas und Porzellan shop.

oooohhh!!! That's exciting!!! I love the German area!!! I have some German heritage...so it's quite fascinating to me!!! But..i am glad they are taking out the glass shop....I never really liked that place!! Ha!! Candy will be enjoyed much more I am sure...especially for kids....mmmmm...Makes me want to go buy a bag of Werther's O's!!!!!

Today is 5 months for me!!!! Exactly 5 months from now...at this time, I will be in the air!!! Hoping for a 9:30-ish flight...so we should be out of Texas for sure!!! Then...getting in line for the ME....hoping that our lines are much shorter than our last 2 trips! I had thought about just renting a car and getting our own luggage, due to the extremely long waits we have been having--but with the crowd predictions being so small, maybe the ME will reflect that also! And the fact that dh isn't going to pass up free transportation just because I don't want to stand in that line!!

Awesome pics everyone, thanks for sharing!

The lights are as amazing as everyone says they are. It's a wonderful experience!

I would wait and see what happens, I am betting the DHS hours will be changed and more Fantasmic shows/times will be added about a month before we go. Then you can decide what would be best/easiest to do!

Don't worry about the ME lines, there were NONE last November on a Saturday!

The airfare for JetBlue is so expensive right now, too! It ranges from $160-$180 each way I'm hoping by the end of July/ August the prices will start to drop!
