WDW photo tips please

I have been looking at all the beautiful pics in the pic of the day thread. I just bought a Canon Rebel XTi DSLR for our trip next week but haven't had time to practice using it very much. What settings are you using to get those great night shots (especially those of Christmas lights and fireworks)? Thanks!

I will be getting the same camera on Friday and would also love to hear what settings everyone is using. And to add to it - what lens did you use when you took the pics?
