We are booked at WL for our August trip. I just spent the entire evening going through this thread and loved all the photos. I have a Nikon D90 and am hoping to make the most of it on this trip (and maybe learn a few new tricks with PE7). It is such a beautiful resort and I know my DH is excited. We had origianlly booked CSR, but when we changed dates CSR wasn't available. We didn't tell the kids we upgraded so it will be a surprise. Thank you to all those that have posted their photos...thank you for a wonderful evening of magical dreams
Cherylsmike,
WL is a wonderful resort; I think you and your family will have a great time there.
Since you are bringing your camera take advantage of the many photo opportunities there. Here are just a few:
- Have a cast member take a photo (with your camera) of your family rubbing the nose of the bear (old WL tradition bringing good luck) on the totem pole in front of the mercantile.
- Pose for a family shot on the bridge in front of the waterfall down by the pool (outside the door at the bottom of the ramp).
- Pose for a family shot on the bridge over the stream in the lobby area. Sometimes there is a PhotoPass photographer setup by the bridge in the evenings. They always have taken a photo with my camera when asked.
- Im not sure if Whispering Canyon restaurant has replaced their six foot cardboard cut out photo of a ketchup bottle, but if they have stop by during the day before they open and have your photo taken next to the bottle. At Whispering Canyon when you ask for ketchup everyone in the restaurant brings a bottle of ketchup to you. You might end up with 15 bottles at your table.
Have a great trip!
