Counting to the Magic: 21 Days

Woo Hoo!!! Yes!!! 3 weeks from today I will be hopefully somewhere in Virginia, or North Carolina if we are lucky, on our way to Walt Disney World!!! I am so excited!! I am going to ride, eat and take pictures!!! In case you couldn't guess from the last 28 or so posts, I am a HUGE picture taker, especially in Walt Disney World! I was down for 6 days on my last trip, took almost 1700 pictures....yea, I'm kinda crazy.

I'm really into landscapes and catching unique angles or any angle that just catches my eye.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from my last trip in August:

Perfect timing for the rainbow

A close up on the castle that is not normally available

Interesting perspective, taken from a moving Dumbo

A side of BTMRR that is not normally seen, taken from Fort Langhorn

Storm clouds over Space Mountain, taken from Astro Orbiter (Yes, it was moving also)

Love the reflection angle on this

Again with the reflection

A rare shot in the middle of the day in Epcot, no people!

The balance on this photo is something that I thought was unique

Odd looking cloud in here...can you spot it?

I love how the two "globes" balance each other in this photo

Magic Kingdom is my favorite park just because of the magic and all that is at that park.  After that though, in a very VERY close second place is Epcot with its beautiful buildings and views and the lovely walk around the world.  In fact walking around that World Showcase is what I am looking forward to doing today!

Here are some pictures of World Showcase, its one of my favorite photographing sites!

There are many first times to experience in Walt Disney World and there are a lot that I will be experiencing on this trip.  One of these is staying in a villa, the Wilderness Lodge Villas! I have looked into DVC for years and really want to buy into it someday, so I am very excited to be staying at villa to see how great they really are!

Want to find out about his place like I did? Check out Deb Willis' site, AllEars.net for some great photos!

This Week's It Came From Disney!

This week, I am trying to help all of you photographers get your artwork off the computer and onto the wall! Check out the great cherry wood frame that my family uses in our living room in this week's article. Don't forget to check out all of the other AWESOME article feature on the Disney Dispatch!

Scrapbooking Magic

Coming back from a Disney vacation, there are so many memories that you don't want to forget! One way I relive the magic after a vacation is looking at all the pictures I took on the trip. I always take lots of pictures, on this last trip, between Chris and I, we took over 1700 pictures!! So many wonderful memories saved! I know what many people do with their pictures, besides post them on Facebook, is put their pictures in a photo album. Others, like myself, love to make scrapbooks!

I love scrapbooks because they can tell more than a regular photo album can! You can put more than just pictures in, you can put luggage tags, receipts, tickets, fastpasses and so much more! Plus, you get to decorate the pages with ribbons and stickers!

Last week I started planning and making the scrapbook from Chris and my trip, laying out some pages. When I get some more pages done, I will post some of them here on the blog!

I'd love to hear how you keep your Disney or any vacation memories alive! Do you scrapbook? What other ways are out there to recreate the memories? Feel free to leave me a comment or even send me an email!
