I was one of the first, but then again, I was there for only 1 Day, so it makes for a short trip report:

Oh, okay. I suppose you are right that you were only there for one day...I would guess you might have more photos to share though?! ;)

Mousekedittos on that! But at least you can enjoy the other days vicariously, and cheaper too! :lol:

Great reports and pictures, everybody! Makes me wish even more that we could have been there.

Mousekecouple and Boilers: it's cool that y'all are NCIS fans; Future Gal and I are, too!

Words cannot describe the photography talent you guys posess! Mousekedude, I loved those NCIS photos (even if I am not a fan...) and the pic of the double-boilers at the Osborne lights is perfect! I too am jealous of those fab pics in POTC...I cannot seem to get any real good ones and the one of Ariel is superb!

Amy, having never seen the Finding Nemo show, I love those pics! It seems like a highly photogenic show (like Aladdin at DCA). We originally rode "Countdown to Extinction" at AK, but have not ridden "Dinosaur" since we did not like Countdown at all...way too rough! Even worse than Indy!!! Beautiful safari pics! I love that one with the mist and the foilage! The lighting was just right...it's amazing how those pictures work out sometimes! (intentional or not)

Keep up the great work everyone!!! These reports are amazing!!!

You're right, Mindflipper. You were busy spending quality time with everyone and just being a generally great guy to hang out with. Sorry that I sorta forgot about all that in my zeal to have you post more. You did do an awesome job of starting this thread, so kudos for that. I think I was just under the impression that you may have taken more pictures than what you've posted so far, but if you didn't really get any good ones beyond what you've already shared with us, then I understand. No sweat, bro. :D

We wish we could have spent more time with you too, bro. But we understood that you were there for only a very limited time, and that your mom was the main focus of your trip, so we didn't want to be greedy and monopolize all your time. Your first priority was to be a good son and spend time with her. We respect that. The only thing that really bugs me is that I'm majorly jealous of you that you got to do the Beverly thing with Amy and F1gment at Club Cool without us. I could kick myself that our schedule didn't allow us to join you there... :cry:

Nice to know you're fans of NCIS. When I think about it, somehow I guess I would have pegged that.... 8-) :lol:

Thank you very much (bowing humbly and blushing like a school girl... :oops: ). I love getting great pictures and sharing them with friends. It's not about getting glory for myself... it's all about capturing beautiful moments and being able to share them others. The better the pictures, the more other people can enjoy them and appreciate the magic. So I'm thrilled that my pictures are good enough to bring the magic back to you.... :D

That's exactly how I feel about any pics I take...Disney related or otherwise.

Thank you for the kind words about my photos MmeLeota! Nemo is an awesome show if you ever get the chance to get to WDW soon.
It's funny you mention Countdown to Extinction vs. Indy. Mom had been on CtE in AK before we traveled to DL, so when we got there I told her Indy was the same sort of ride. For some reason, that particular time through Indy was super rough :( :oops: She did not forgive me for awhile. She was way more mad about Mulholland Madness though :shock: but to be fair, I had never been on that when she asked so we experienced it for the first time together. Bad, bad, bad idea!!
I think the ride on Dinosaur and Indy can vary greatly with where you are seated in the vehicle. Plus, I believe there are different sequences, correct?

Much appreciated, M-dude, but as a consolation I have just started an all-new and totally different trip report here on Subsonic on behalf of some friends:

I have not heard anything about there being different sequences. The only variables thy I can think of for Dinosaur or Indu is your seat in the vehicle and the vehicle itself. Each vehicle should be programmer the same way, but they can differ in how they perform. The seating does play a major role for these and most other attractions. Generally speaking the back row will tend to have the roughest experience. I am almost certain the back corner seats are the worst two.
