Thanks so much I have a very hard time taking pictures of Spectromagic also and just night time pictures in general , I end up usually deleting half of them . LOL

I like the Fairy pics...the one of Tink pinching the babies cheek is so cute. And the ones with the Army man...you can tell the kids LOVED him! Love DD's skirt. My DD has the same one in the blue/green colors. They're so pretty. I like the Meeko picture too. Great updates!!!

Nighttime pics are hard to take. They call for a long exposure time, which most people don't realize. Which means you have to stand VERY still or have a tripod to get a good one. Any movement will blur it. And flash ones usually lose the effect or the flash can't get thrown far enough to illuminate the subject.
Your's are pretty decent though, I must say. I know all the theory and stil ltake crappy ones. LOL! I can't stand still.

Wow , you really know a lot about photography Thanks , I took mine with the flash and I was pleasantly surprised at how they turned out. I think unless night time pictures are your specialty , it's really a luck of the draw as to how there gonna turn out . LOL

We woke up around 8:00 a.m. and ate Breakfast in the room . Then we put on our swim gear and headed for Blizzard Beach for 10:00 a.m. opening . We arrived right on time and as we entered the park I spotted a PPP in front of the sleigh , so of course I made the family stop and pose for a couple of shots .

We then headed over and picked up the kids life jackets & then it was on to Tike's Peek , where we located a spot right up front by the wading pool area . The kids played in the wading pool , on the slides & tubes . We took a family Lazy River ride & then headed to lunch . We ate at Lottawatta Lodge , DH & I had the Cob Salad minus the Blue Cheese but plus the Ranch Dressing w/ Cokes & Mickey Ice Cream Sandwiches. DS & DD had Hot dogs w/ Grapes, Applesauce ,Sprites & Mickey Ice cream Bars. We also got an order of Fries for Baby DS. After Lunch we headed back to Tike's Peek , where the kids again swam in the pool, rode the slides & tubes . We also did another family Lazy River Ride where we got some PPP done .The kids finished out doing the same things they had been doing before in Tike's Peek and around 3:00 p.m. we packed everything in and headed back to CBR to get ready for our 5:30 p.m. ADR at the Grand Floridian Cafe .

We got to CBR around 3:30 p.m. and got ready & relaxed before we had to leave for the GF. We left CBR around 5:00 for our ADR . We got there around 5:30 p.m. and checked in for our ADR at the Grand Floridian Cafe , we were seated right away . I ordered the Shrimp and Prosciutto Penne Pasta, DH had the New York Strip w/Red Bliss Mashed Potatoes,DD had Grilled Chicken w/ Broccoli & Rice, DS Grilled Steak w/Broccoli & Rice. It took forever to get our meals though over and hour which to me was a little long . After we got done eating it was now 7 p.m. and we were even going to skip out on dessert considering how long it was taking to get served . We ended up taking our dessert to go , DH got Chocolate-Hazelnut Mousse Cake and so did I . DD got a Fruit Cup and DS got a Dirt & Worms Cup. After we settled the bill and got our desserts it was now 7:30 p.m. I have to say that both Grand Floridian Restaurants we ate this year really disappointed us , the service was slow at both and not very friendly at 1900 Park Fare , we also did not care for the food at either,maybe a little to fancy for our taste . That being said we were now off to DTD but first we had to make a quick stop at CBR to put our desserts in the frig. . Now we were on our way to DTD to do some shopping and treat making at Goofy’s . We finally arrived at DTD and looked around for awhile and used a ton of Snack Credit’s at Goofy’s Candy Company . We then headed back to CBR to hit the hay for our early ADR at AK the next morning.

Here’s a picture I took of the family near the Pooh Store in DTD

Coming up AK and MK

2 hours from when you arrived until you got your desserts?! Thats terrible! I'm glad that GF Cafe didn't make our list for Sept because I'd probably be replacing it now! Love the pic with the matching outfits!

Yes, mama you read it right 2 hours and with three little kids ages 5 ,3,2 it was a very long 2 hours ! We probably would have been there longer had we not took our desserts to go ! Yes, you should be very glad you did not make an ADR there Thanks so much

We woke up around 6:30 a.m. DH & I got showers and then got everyone else dressed . We left CBR around 7:45 a.m. to go to our 8:30 a.m. ADR at the Tusker House for Donald’s Safari Breakfast. We made it to AK right on time & stopped on the way in for a PPP in front of The Tree Of Life .

After this we were off to Breakfast where we met w/ Donald , Mickey, Daisy & Goofy. We ate eggs, sausage, bacon, Mickey waffles, crepes w/ apples, fruit, tater tots ,donuts, home fries & croissants . This is one of the best breakfasts I‘ve had at WDW and the selection of food was huge.

After we finished up with breakfast we went outside to put sunscreen on the kids and wait for Rope Drop. After Rope Drop we headed straight for Kilimanjaro Safari and got right on .

After the Safari we headed out on the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail for a quick look .

Coming Up In Next Post More AK, CBR and MK

 

[dawnbu40]

Aww the Tusker House breakfast looks like fun! Glad to hear you enjoyed the food after the other bad experiences you had! The safari pics are great! I love the one of the giraffe in motion!

 

[MagicShell]

I really like your PP pictures at AK, they turned out great. I want to do breakfast at TH. We actually had res. there last trip but had to cancel them for some reason. It sounds like it was very yummy.

Just loved the picture of the kids with the snowman. They (the snowmen and your kids) are so cute. I am a snowman fantic. I will probably never make it to blizzard beach my husband does not do water parks. I least he does Disney!

 

[Goofy22]

All your Photo Pass photos are great! I hope our experience at GF Cafe in August is better! We are having dinner there and I ordered a specialty cake for DD with Jack Skellington for her 15th Bday! I'm glad tyou liked Tusker House we have that on our schedule also but it is for Dinner and it's a GG

 

[jenseib]

All caught up...for now...LOL! Great update.
I must say I love the picture of the Giraffe skipping along. That is so perfect.
All the photopass pics look fun too. We've never done Blizzard Beach. I have so many water parks near me that it seems like a waste to go to one in FL, but maybe someday...if we can stay longer....I can fit one in. They do look really neat. I want to do the Tusker House breakfast some day too.
