Those who have been to WDW many many times: Do you bring your camera EVERY TIME??

[Poohbear123]

I have been to WDW too many times to count, and have ALWAYS brought my Camera's. I am going for a short trip in 48 days, and was just there in Feb. (Took 8 rolls of film, plus Digital). Should I bring my camera's AGAIN?

I always bring my camera. You never know what's going to happen. I'll bet anything if you DON'T bring it, you're going to have a moment and say "I WISH I'd brough my camera!!!!"

Better safe than sorry.

I'm 24 years old, and have been at least 16 times since I was born, and I still took 5 rolls of film and 100 on the Digital Camera. But I still love it, and would most likely do it again!

I always bring it, though I am choosy in pics that I take. I dont just take scenic pics or anything anymore, unless they are for a specific scrapbook page i'm doing, but just try to shoot pics of family/friends that are there. Make sense? So I dont take ALOT but I take a few, quality pics that we hold onto forever...

I am sure that the first time I left it at home, we would have a great photo opp happen and miss it =)

It's up to you, if you want.

We've been to Disney too many times as well. We were there 3X last year and this coming trip in May will also be our 3X for this year and always bring our camera. You just never know when that "magical moment" may come up and you want to capture that special moment.

But now...since we will be moving to Orlando this July, I don't think I am going to be bring the camera every weekend, but then who knows, I like taking pictures!

Yes, I bring my digital camera every time.

We bring our camera everytime as well, and also the video camera too!!! DH says he feels like a pack mule on vacation! But with little ones (dd is 4) I think you need to capture the awe and excitement of seeing things through their eyes. We also give dd her own disposable camera to take pictures of whatever she likes. They are so funny! It's weird to see things from her height!

My first trip with my DD's I DIDN'T bring it and was so sorry I didn't. I didn't think I could manage DD 21/2 and 4 that a camera sounded like just another thing to worry about.

Very. Very. Sorry.

Guess I better make room in my book bag for them.

You never know when a magic once in a lifetime photo opportunity.

I always bring a camera, but not always the same one. Some days, I just don't feel like hauling the good camera so I'll just bring a point and shoot or even a disposable that I can slip in my pocket or fanny pack. They still take good pictures so I'm ready for that special moment without the hassle of having my good SLR around my neck all day. Digital cameras are another great option since so many of them are now pretty tiny and easily slip in your pocket.

Camera=Yes, every time!
Video Camera=Once in a while...mostly not

We still take photos, now digital. We started when our daughters were 1 and 3. Now they are 14 and 16 and still love looking at how they grew over the years. Charactor photos still take up most of our photo albums.

In a nutshell, "yes"!!

 

[kc26]

I bring my camera everytime also. I even buy a WDW photo album and make a scrapbook of our vacation. It has turned into a tradition that I can't break.

I agree that you should always bring your camera - you never know what kind of great shot will present itself!! I took 7 rolls last time I went (3/04) and have so many great shots! It is worth it to take it!!

 

[Eeyore2003]

In December I forgot my camera. I wasn't going to take any pictures, but ended up buying a throw away one. It WAS nice having one that just fit in my DH"s pocket and not have to carry it around though.

 

[oogieboogie]

Absolutely YES.

I just hang it on my neck from my trading pin lanyard. That way it's always ready, I never forget it and I never lose it.

I always bring a camera. Most of the time I take the same pictures over and over again (ex.-Cinderella's Castle), but they're memories from that specific moment in time. Besides, you never know when you're going to see something new or worthwhile of a photo.

The one time we didn't bring the camera - didn't want the hassle -we ended up buying disposables and spent a fortune. We always take our camera now.
