Your pictures are amazing!! So funny but I'm still not used to running into people I know at WDW. As I'm walking toward "my private entrance" to WS I'm thinking to myself that this family looks awfully familiar...and there you were!!

Love, love, love the pics. Looks like time very well spent!!

 

[ronnmel]

Wow! The pictures really look nice!

Beautiful Pictures!
I love your touring style. You can tell you guys are there to enjoy yourselves and relax.
I would love to get to experience V&A. It looked fabulous...Maybe someday!

Great pictures!! We were pretty happy with our photo session in November. I guess they aren't the same photographers that do photopass any more. And we got lucky & got in when the price was still $99. It went up to $150 right after we booked but we were still guaranteed the $99 price. You have a great variety in your pictures - I'll definitely keep the private photographer in mind if we want to do it in the future.

My boys LOVE that they get to ride together at Disney. They fight quite a bit too but something about riding together makes them get along. We'll see if that changes once it gets old!

Thank you! I'm glad you had a good photo pass session! We had a good one a few years back. WOW! Good thing you booked when you did!

I was very happy with how well the kids got along on the ride alone!

Your family pictures are amazing!! You all look fabulous!!!!!

Glad you had such a great experience and the weather was fantastic for your day!!!

Thanks Jen!!

It really was a great experience and it was a beautiful day!

Ahh all the photos are so great! Sounds like it was a very pleasant experience!
I'm glad it rained the day before the shoot and not the day of!

Thank you! I was sooooo worried that the rain would affect the shoot! I would have been bummed if it was cancelled because I knew he had the rest of the week booked up!

That is a good deal, not all that much more really than the photopass cd version. Great pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was pretty happy with how everything worked out! Not to mention I think I got a pretty good deal! I've paid more at Sears and a few years ago we went to a really photographer and it cost an absolute fortune and I got very few pictures!

Beautiful pictures!!! How will you ever choose which ones to have framed???

Thanks!! I know!!!!!! I still haven't framed any because I can't pick!!!! I think I'm going to end up with 1 large one and a bunch of small ones!

Thank you!!

One of the things our DVC guide said when we first met him was that once your a DVC member you'll vacation differently. He was soooo right. You know there will be another trip so if you don't get to do it this trip you can do it next trip!

V&A was a great experience! I highly recommend it!!

Gorgeous pictures, Melissa!! There are soooo many great ones!

Thanks!!!!

You're pictures are so wonderful! I know I saw them on FB, but that was on my phone. That has given me an idea for June. My brother and SIL always take family pictures. I wonder if we should do something like that. Does it matter how many people we have?

I'm so glad you posted them. They really are lovely!

 

[brookelizabeth]

With everyone very excited about their ride and me convincing DS4 that he had won and got a better score then anyone else in the our family it was time to move on!​

Oh, this made me laugh out loud! I have to do the same with Henry!
​

Beautiful photo shoot! $200 is a GREAT deal!!!!

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Wow, what great pictures! And what a deal. I may have to check into that. We need new family pictures. Jeremy was 2 when we last had ours done.

 

[TanzUnited99]

Yay on having some alone time whilst DH took the kids to the arcade!

I'm glad you enjoyed your meal at Yachtsman and WOW what awesome shots from your photoshoot!! There are so many good ones and what great memories to have of your trip. I love the funny shot with the cookies as well!

 

[KatMark]

I LOVE the photo shoot pictures...they are absolutely terrific and you can see the different personalities. Great job!

Thanks! I don't think it matter how many people. I told the lady in his office that it was John and I and the 3 kids and Grandma and Grandpa would also be there and I wanted to have a few with them! If you look on his website chapmanphotography .com (without the space) and do a little searching, you can find his family pictures! There are a few large groups!

Oh, this made me laugh out loud! I have to do the same with Henry!

I figure it makes him feel good and gives him a little boost so what the heck!

Thanks! I thought it was a pretty good deal too!

Thanks! I try to get them done every couple of years! I love to watch them grow through pics!!

It was lovely to have a few minutes of peace!

Dinner was pretty good! I'll have to try it again on a night not after V&A!

Thanks! I'm sooooo happy with the photo shoot pictures! I love all of them so much! I love the cookie picture! It's so Johnny!

You are SO right about that. I used to do Sears and the Picture People. After a disastrous last session at the PP we skipped a year or two and then did a shoot at our house. Which was amazing for the larger group with my in laws, and candids and of the kids but not so great of the 6 of us. I was thrilled with our PP shoot in 2010 but that was luck. I didn't do a card this year b/c I didn't have a single pic of all 6 of us! Sad. I'd rather do every other year and get a good one even if it costs 2x as much. Which means I need to get a photographer to my house I guess, now that one is in college...it's even harder!

UGH! PP!! I actually had to leave there with Dorothy when she was a baby because they were soooo terrible! All this loud squealing ridiculous nonsense to get her attention! Yeah, ummm not my kid! It freaked her out and she cried nonstop!! UGH!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Like I said in my other TR, I'm terribly sorry I haven't been around a lot lately! Too darn much going on!

I have some huge news to share! I posted in my other TR! Here is a link!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Awesome!!! What an experience that will be!!!

 

[IheartDDuck]

[Grumpy's Wife]

I just found your trip report. I'm about half way through it now. Enjoying it with a nice cup of coffee on this Sunday morning while my house is still quiet.

Score on the great room!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I am SOOOOO excited for you about getting to attend the christening! I hope I can join you, we still haven't heard yet from our DSM.... regardless, at least we will finally get to meet!

I'm so hoping you can be there!!!! I'm so excited!!! I can't wait to finally get to meet you!!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Again I must apologize for my absence!! With Dis being sooooo ssssssssllllllllloooooooowwwww I kinda gave up!! I just couldn't just sit here and wait, wait, and wait for it to load!!! UGH!!

But, I'm back!!

When I last left off we were on our way from the beach by Beach Club to Epcot after our photo session!

When we arrived at Epcot we stopped in France and took a few pics!







Then it was time for a snack and a drink! I was dying to try a Parisian Cosmo Slush and the kids wanted their own slushies!

Then headed into Boulangerie Patisserie to get the kiddos slushies! I also got a napoleon to take back to the room with us!! No else wanted a snack or anything! Humph!

Then we moved on! However, I’m really sure not what happened! That Cosmo did me in! It wasn’t too strong or anything, I wasn’t tipsy, I was extremely HOT!!! My face turned bright red and I started to sweat, a lot!! I love that cosmo, it was delish!! But, I could have done without that reaction!!

We wandered around WS, DH and MIL both stopped and got a Moroccarita and FIL got a beer. We stopped and got the kiddos hot dogs at the Outpost and I drank an entire bottle of water! Then we made our way through the rest of WS and headed back to BLT!!
