AW: Going to Disney Tomorrow!

And my worst problem is that I can't decide on what camera and lenses to bring.  Most everything else is packed.  Kids were told but they didn't act as excited as I'd hoped.  I put a video on my phone anticipating a HUGE reaction.  DH said they got more excited on the way to school this morning so I think it was a function of it being so early in the morning.  Anyways, I've compiled a list of must do's so if you have any to add to the list or any tips, I'll take them!!  I already have the Droid app ready to go.

Re: AW: Going to Disney Tomorrow!

  • I have goosebumps for you!! Seriously, I remember the feeling of excitement as we drove up to the Magic Kingdom (That is what it is called, right?) Not so much the anticipation of the trip. I was in first grade at that time.

    I saw the manicured bushes that were shaped like the characters and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. My Dad stopped the car and let us all get out and scream. Then we took pictures next to the character bushes. I still remember our first ride was Dumbo and going on the Tea Cups, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Pirates or the Carribean, etc.

    I was only 7 or so, but still have the most amazing memories of that trip. 

  • Have fun!!

    What parks are you going to?

  • CONGRATS! Have fun!

  • So much fun!  Yay, yay, yay!

    And mad props to you for keeping this a secret from your kids.  I would be bursting at the seams excited to tell them when I booked it!

    For real! That is great.

    As for camera/lens, I would just take one lens and make it your most versatile one possible. You don't want to lug around a bunch of gear, especially on rides. If I'm only taking one, I always take my 18-200.

    We have a park hopper so Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, and Blizzard Beach.

    I have been asking people for advice and making a little matrix on google docs on the common must see's/do's.

    Yeah, I'd only want with me what I can fit in the B-Hobo but since we are staying at a resort, I can have a big bag of different lenses and switch them out to the B-Hobo depending on what we're doing.  I can't decide on if I should bring my newest camera or 2nd newest and then in-laws gave me their point and shoot to borrow.  Time is running out!!!

  • Oh how exciting! I can't wait to hear all about it and see lots of pictures!

  • Have a great time! I love Disney! We went a few years ago and I loved the safari ride at AK. It was so memorable. I also love all of the coasters. I think Space Mtn was my first ever coaster :) I also love Small World.
  • I'm late, I hope you had a safe flight!  Have a great time!
