When do you think Disney Parks appear the most magical?

Get well first and get some rest! This thread isn't going anywhere. It will be right here when you're feeling better!

Yep like everyone else said rest up...I hope you feel better soon.

I also have one just like yours from inside the Mexico Pavilion. The only thing I don't like about this shot is that I was using a pillar as a tripod and didn't push the camera far enough forward, so the bottom half of the picture is the pillar (grumble, grumble)


That is too funny, that's how I did mine, except I was a little more to the right of you. Nice photos.

Feel better Mmleota!

Nice shot M-dude! You guys did the dessert party too? We loved it!

I guess I will just have to experiment more the fireworks shots. Practice makes perfect I guess. So we'll need another trip to Disney for that!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and pixie dust!!!! :)

I don't have most of my pics on this computer, but here are a few...and forgive me, they are not my best pics. Trying to use the zoom on my camera and fireworks don't seem to mix well.

These pictures are from the fireworks show "Magical"...

Dumbo flies!!!! (sorry it's dark, but it's the only one that came out clear)

Where's Tink?

One of the floral decorations on the lampposts on Main Street (during the Celebrate theme)

Here's a pic of the new friend we made while having a snack at Whitewater Snacks at the Grand Californian!

If I can find where all of my good pictures are, I'll post some.

Those are wonderful photos...I wonder if the cat is watched after by the staff. She looks pretty well taken care of and I can't think of any private homes close by.

Thank you for your kind words regarding the pictures. I do have some that aren't as blurry as well as pictures of Fantasmic! I just need to find them.

As far as the cat goes, legend has it that Walt brought in cats to "live" in the park to help control the rat problem. I believe the cats that are seen roaming around (if they are feeling brave) these days are the descendents of those original cats. I believe they are very well taken care of (but not so much that they don't hunt). We had one come up to us at Taste Pilots Grill in DCA several years ago (she bummed a piece of chicken off us), and about 2 years ago, we had one roaming around the Hungry Bear restaurant in DL (and oddly enough, she looked an awful lot like our Thelma...hmmm things I should know about??? Maybe that's why she went the opposite way from us...) I have long said that if I could come back in another life, I'd like to come back as a cat that lives in DL :)

To be able to live and eat in DL every day....that would be wonderful.

The first one is Splash Mountain at the Magic Kingdom

Ooooo...I like...especially the moving train and the ferris wheel. Where was the fourth photo taken?
