Nice shot.
This really makes me wish I'd have spent another day down there to go to Hollywood Disney. We kept trying to make it for the lights and kept running out of time.

Yet another castle shot.

A couple from a trip to WDW in October.

Thanks

Excellent shots in here! Made me more excited to head to Tokyo Disney Land in Feb!

Just a quick question, is there a place where I can store my bag whilst I become a little kid again and go on the rides so I am not just leaving my backpack and tripod out in the open... Will share my shots when I arrive back home

My family and I just got back from a week-long visit to Disney World. We couldn't decide what we liked best, the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, or Animal Kingdom. They were all amazing. We like Hollywood Studios, but it wasn't our favorite.

The weather was perfect. We were in Orlando for a week. The first day was rainy and cold, but we weren't in the park that day...just arriving. The first day in the park was sunny and warm, and continue that way for the whole five days we visited (using a park-hopper pass). Our visit couldn't have been more enjoyable...it was the best family vacation we have had with our girls (11 and 9). The girls don't believe in magic anymore (or Santa, etc.), but that's okay. They loved the parks anyway.

My personal favorites were Epcot and Animal Kingdom because I like cultural attractions and meeting people from around the world. The park is staffed with foreigners from each of the countries represented (all the staff in France were from France, etc.). Loved it!

Here are a few pics:

looks awesome man!! I leave for there in less then a month, those pictures have gotten me pretty excited. i just need to stay focused so I dont get too distracted from work haha.

You'll have a great time. I recommend staying at the resort and joining a dining plan. Make eating reservations well ahead of time.

Oh, and bring a low light lens, even if you have to rent it. I had to make due with my two kit lenses, so there were some opportunities I missed.

I can't even imagine how good of photos I could get at the Festival of the Lion King if I had the 28mm 1.8. USM

They allow flash photography at that event (not sure why, considering some of the stuff they do is really dangerous), but they specifically state that flash photography is allowed there. Many exhibits don't allow flash, like the haunted house, Pirates of the Caribbean, and more. I think taking a flash photo in space mountain would be fun. But that ride practically bent my spine out of whack. Rough ride. My oldest daughter and I didn't like it, but my youngest kid and wife did.

I like to see where I'm going.

A couple more to distract you from work:
