Its a Nikon D5100. We took it at advise of a pro photographer friend of T. It was more than I would normally spend on something lik that but we have loved it! It has been wonderful here and I find myself shooting more pics these days, where before, it was just an occasional shot here or there, now I shoot lots of pics.

jimmytammy ~ Your pictures are awesome! I bet you are having a blast taking pictures and learning how to use the camera. Is it easy to learn? I have an Olympus SP-550UZ and looking to upgrade at some point. Have a great evening and looking forward to seeing more pictures.

For those that know me from previous posts, I am tech challenged, so my DW figures all that stuff out then shows me
Seriously, its easy. The best thing is if you take a shot you dont like or realize changes need to be made you can do so quickly. When we were taking shots of
the MNSSHP parade, I ran out of memory space. Knowing the HM float was near I got T to delete some pics to allow space. So in a matter of seconds I learned how to delete so I could take those shots that were mobile. I have to say this is the best camera I ever owned. We purchased through Crutchfield, no shipping costs, no tax. They are very prompt in delivery. Only issue I have with the camera, no specific bag is designed to carry it, but T has a small backpack, works great!

BLT shots

We would love to stay at BLT someday, maybe for a week just to give it a try. Its a little more modern than my tastes prefer, but really nice. Nice added touches over other 1 beds we have stayed in before.

Jimmy...thanks for the continued photo trip report...great shots! We enjoyed BLT mostly for its location near MK, the beautiful views of Bay Lake (better than VWL) and TOTWL. I agree it doesn't have the theming or comfortable feeling of WL/VWL, but it is nice for a change of pace.

Sounds like your trip is going well. Enjoy the rest of it.

T isnt feeling well today so after lunch at San Angel, we headed back to OKW, then DS and I went to WL to hang out, tried to ride bikes but it was too late. So we played games in arcade, while he finished up his games, I went to the Mercantile, then walked around the lobby. It was tough, though Stan had been retired for a while, it seemed a bit empty knowing he was no longer around. I wish they would at least put up a picture of him somewhere to commemorate him, but dont see that happening.

Oh well, I told T just a few mins ago I miss not being there. It still feels so homey to me, though Stan not being there leaves something amiss.

Sorry, just had to post for the heck of it, my last post had one to many 6s in it

MOVED? WE GOT MOVED? Can they do that? Oh, yeah, they can.

Now I will have two places to lurk - Resorts & Mousecellaneous . . just can't keep a good moose away, I guess . .

So on goes the groupie thread . . . .

Wow, weird, a new sub category.

... so what will DVC-Mousecellaneous contain now other than countdowns and trip reports?
Other issues like - "What can I find in a villa kitchen?" and "Can I let Uncle Joe sleep on the balcony?" get moved off to Planning or shut down. It seems to me every time someone has tried to start a true miscellaneous thread (that they only want the DVC community to be involved with) it gets moved out of DVC all together. (I support those threads staying in DVC as the other categories have way too many visitors and I've seen some nasty attacks - DVC'rs are pretty civil here.)

Thanks for pointing that out Dad. I didn't even notice.

Now that's funny!

Cool! We're in the Resort Thread now! * polishes his nails *

Sorry we missed you folks. I turned the computer off around 9am yesterday after Annie T and her DH came by, we spent time til 3:30 with them then headed to meet friends at Epcot for dinner before going to the party.

That is so cool you met and spent time with Robert Irvine. The other day when I saw him I first thought he was a CM in the Indiana Jones show. Pretty big fellow.

No problem, I figured it was a long shot that we would run into you. You may have seen us at the Halloween party though. Dynaguy kept getting stopped for people to give him comments on his costume and take his picture. He was dressed all in grey with a tattered suit and vest and had white shoes and a white wig with a top hat. He looked like one of the traveling ghosts from the haunted house. He got his makeup done at HS before we headed over to the MK so he did really look good. We had a blast at the party and collected WAY too much candy!

Thanks JT ! I wrote the camera name down for some early Christmas shopping for myself
The MNSSHP photos were awesome.........
And I love the photos you took of BLT

 

[Dizny Dad]

WOW; in the RESORT section now. Kind of makes me feel like a split stay and I just changed rooms . . . . . hope I didn't leave anything in the other room. If you find something, it might be mine.

My tiny dancers are getting less and less! 30 days until Lodge check in!!!

 

[jimmytammy]

DS and I went back over to WL yesterday and rode surrey bike over to FW, checked out the horses. Saw 2 deer up close on the path. We saw 4 the other day on the road out near the WL sign on edge of road. Good to know lots of wildlife hanging out near there. They know what seems natural

After hanging out at the Lodge awhile yesterday, things felt a lot more like old times. Glad we went back, it was probably just sad for me personally that 1st time. I asked an attendant at mercantile if they had a memorial service for Stan. He said they did and they put a pic of him up on the stairway leading up to the roof.

Well, today is our head home day. Where did the 2 weeks go? Our next trip in Mar will be a little different in we will be going to Universal instead of WDW. But we will be staying on pts., using our TIW card to eat at resorts, and attending Braves spring training at WWOS. SO it wont be a complete non WDW trip, just different parks.

Thanks for letting me share my trip with you folks.
