[photographymom517]

Hi Nikki!!! I was referred to your report by "brookelizabeth" and "stephielela." From what they've told me, I am very excited to start reading your report!!! I have a TON of catching up to do, but I think I'm going to start out by watching the video you recently posted!

I did read the first page of your TR & noticed you stayed at Port Orleans which I'm excited to read about because I'm considering POR or POFQ for our next trip!

Before I post any comments and/or questions I have about your trip, I have a big question for you! I was wondering if you could help me post my pictures on DIS through a site other than PhotoBucket. We were all having a discussion on my TR about posting on DIS through Shutterfly or Snapfish but we don't know how. Most of us already have our Disney photos on one of the sites (or both) so it would make it much easier than having to upload them all again to PhotoBucket & then put them on DIS. They suggested that I ask you...so I'm asking, please help!!! lol I tried it the other night & couldn't figure it out You can post on my TR or PM me, either is fine! (Thank you in advance!)

Also, feel free to stop by my report...I'm only on Day 3 and have 7 more to write about!

Hey! So glad you came over to read my TR! I hope you enjoy it. I absolutely LOVE POR! I have been staying there since I was a teenager and it was still Dixie Landings. I have to saw Wilderness Lodge is probably my favorite but for a moderate, POR is the BEST!

Ok, so you already have your pics on Shutterfly? It's so easy! Once you have the pic up, just right click it and go to "copy image location." Then in your post, pull up the image icon and hit "paste." In case you don't know what I mean by "image icon" it's at the top of the post box in the same row as bold, italics, etc. It's the one that looks like a mountain with a sun.

Hope that makes sense!!

FINALLY! My D23 mag came today! It was addressed to my maiden name though so I'm POSITIVE my winter issue won't come like it should either....

BUT I'm sooooo excited that I got the Spaceship Earth patch!! That's the best one, IMO!

Today I got my renewal membership card & the 23-month calendar! waiting on the magazine but think it was dispatched yesterday .. I really want to read this issue because it has Rapunzel on the fron cover right?!

Okay guys...are you ready for the video??

Now obviously, you've seen all the pictures and videos in this montage (which is why I wanted to wait until I was done with my TR so share it) but I set it to a song by Arcade Fire called Wake Up. I first heard the song in the Where the Wild Things Are trailer and I just fell in love with it. I think it fits really well with the trip pics!

I hope you enjoy it!

Yes! Rapunzel is on the cover! I haven't read the article yet but I am super excited for that movie! I hope it's like the Old School Disney movies! I have Little Mermaid on right now and watched Beauty and the Beast last night. There's just something about these movies that makes them so good! I hope Rapunzel has that too!

So glad you liked the video!

Sadly, no trip planned for the immediate future. We are thinking about next September so that's what we have our sights set on at the moment.....

I love the video!!! The song is perfect and I absolutely love the end. My favorite ride

 

[brookelizabeth]

Thanks! Can't believe you're leaving in two days! Jealous!!

Why am I a rule breaker?! I don't get it.

I thought the "secret scene" was the video from CoP, since video and photography are prohibited in there, I thought that's why it was "secret" and I called you a rule breaker. Guess that's not it?!?!? I missed it?!?!

Btw, I soooooo don't care that you took video in there - I LOVE it actually because I love that ride!!!

After my crazy night of youtube videos that people created of disney characters singing random songs, I've started working on a "Beauty and the Beast/Don't Rain on My Parade (as sung in Glee)" video! It's coming out really well and I can't wait to share it! Should be done soon!

I'm excited to see it!!!

School starts today with the kids. Only Grade 8 and 9 though. Since I have none in my schedule today, I have a day full of meetings. Will see the kids tomorow. I'm kind of apprehensive since I saw my lists and a lot of students in Grade 9 are repeating and I don't like some mixes. Like 2-3 students together can mean trouble.

Oh lord, that went completely over my head!!! You made total sense I just didn't get it! YES it was from COP but I didn't think you couldn't video! I thought the rule for that ride was just "no flash photography!" Wooops! I really try to follow the rules most of the time!!

Oh I totally know what you mean! When we make lists for the following year, we are sure to write on their cards, "separate from..."

Good luck!!

I am pretty sure it's no video too - I think I was going to video it back in December but when I heard the rules I got bummed out...gotta set an example for the little one. I could be wrong though...I'll listen to the spiel again on September 4th.

Are you TRYING to make us jealous!?!

LOVED the video that you made...and putting to that song was really great!!! I am getting really excited for our trip at the end of this month now!!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

NEW VIDEO!!!

I finished my Beauty and the Beast/Don't Rain on my Parade (from Glee!) video. I'm really proud of it. Unfortunately, watching it published to youtube, I can see some edit mistakes that I wasn't able to see on the program I was using because of a slight lag between shots. I tried my best to not have that happen but whadda gonna do? It's my first try, after all! I'll do better next time! (I just uploaded it, so it may still be fuzzy!)

I'm thinking next: Alice in Wonderland to Crazy Game of Poker (O.A.R.) or Aladdin to Romeo and Juliette (Dire Straights). This is so much fun!

I know! I love that part in the video! Worked out perfectly! I thought they were so cute singing and dancing to the band that was playing. I had to put them in my video!
