Re: Disney World in 2012
I hate the guns at Space Ranger Spin. HATE them. Hence why last time I rode it, my score was 3200. TSMM, I do far better at.

Re: Disney World in 2012
That sounds familiar about being able to remove the blasters at DL in order to aim more accurately. It has been awhile since we were last at DLMmeLeota wrote:Amy - We didn't make it on TSM at DHS, but I can say that DCA's TSM is indeed a pull-string. As far as Buzz goes, while we didn't ride it this time, we've been on SRS before. We prefer BLAB (AstroBlasters) at DL as well. Simply because being able to take the "gun" out of the holster makes it so much easier to aim...though my scores would say otherwise

Re: Disney World in 2012
Oh, it's much more easier with the guns being out of the holsters on BLAB. That's why I was all !? when I was on SRS because I was so used to actually holding the gun in my hand and aiming better.

Re: Disney World in 2012
I'm working on uploading photos to my Flickr account now that I finally renewed my pro account. I have some photos of my hotel room here. I'm going to link them because they are huge photos from my Facebook. This is from the Caribbean Beach as a reminder:

I'll be uploading my photos in a little bit. I'm not going to upload EVERY photo to my Flickr since I get nitpicky with what I want up there. I'll keep this updated!

Re: Disney World in 2012
That looks like the standard, help conserve energy, turn out lights, let us know you want to reuse your towels by putting them back on the rack, etc...sign that makes you feel like Disney is doing their part to be eco–conscious.cy1229 wrote:What does the little Mickey sign say?

Re: Disney World in 2012
Yup! And, considering I'm always like that nowadays, I did 'final checks' before we left the room to make sure we had everything with us and everything was turned off.

Re: Disney World in 2012
You got a much better picture of the shower than we did. We couldn't seem to get a real good pic of the detail. We both loved the detail on the shower. Those sconces are so cool! We were joking around saying "do you think we could fit one in our suitcase?"
We really liked the decor of the room too. I noticed that your room was opposite from how ours was...and we had a corner room so we had more curtains too. We loved the details in the fabric of the curtains (the water effect) and the vanity area curtain (the sea creatures).
Glad you liked the room!

Re: Disney World in 2012
I think you were the only one that took in the details more than I did! I didn't pay attention to the curtains as long as they were closed shut. I had the bed closest to the door so I had to keep the blinds closed so the light wouldn't shine into the room yet there was still a little bit of a glare.

Re: Disney World in 2012
AWESOME pics Ms. Swann!!!! YOu got some really nice monorail pictures!
It was a very pleasant surprise to see some DL pics in there too! (especially the "old" pics of Sun Wheel and the Mickey head at California Screamin')
...and an even better surprise to see som SF pics there too!!! Such a beautiful city! We miss being able to take a long weekend and fly up there. Have you been to the Walt Disney Family Museum? It's definitely a must-do for any Disney fan! Love that you had a pic of Treasure Ireland...that's one of our fave stores in the area. (that and Lefty's )
Seeing NYC was great too!
What kind of camera do you use?

Re: Disney World in 2012
I haven't used my Flickr account in forever so my photos there are pretty old. I keep all my good photos of DLR there too and I have some more to add so I'll add them later on.
I use a Canon Powershot SD1100 and I've had it at least three and a half years? It's a real good camera and I've had zero problems with it. I don't use it a LOT but whenever I feel like taking photos or photowalking around the place, I love it.
