Amy and F1gment take on Thanksgiving 2011

[Amy]

Anybody have any thoughts on small point and shoot waterproof digital cameras? Considering getting one before the trip but my head is starting to spin looking at the options...

This sounds like a job for...Cameraboy! (or you may need to PM his mild-mannered secret identity: Len90)

Does he do the little ones though? I thought he was more into the big SLR outfits...

I bought the Nikon Coolpix underwater camera/ waterproof too! It cute and green, and works great! I specifically bought it for our WDW trip this past summer and it takes great pictures!! I bought it at Costco for $129, I don't know what the price is elsewhere. We used it in the rain, and took it on Splash Mountain all the way through the drop for a complete video! We have now used it at the beach in the ocean and underwater in our pool... love it!

He said in a previous post he has both when he visits WDW, and his brother is the "Master of the Video Camera"...

Although cousin's testimonial above doesn't sound like a bad deal...

You may ignore the message I sent you on facebook now
Do you remember the model number of the Nikon? That is one I was possibly looking at, but it wasn't anywhere near that cheap

Got the camera ordered. We'll be sporting a new Sony Cybershot TX-10. I ended up going with the same brand as our main camera so it can share memory cards...hopefully it will be a good little camera

Is it waterproof?

Yup - to 16' I believe. Looking forward to taking some videos on the water rides. Guess I'll have to come up with another reason for ducking and drenching others on Splash

My camera came today! I ordered it on Friday and it came already today on Tuesday ~ that is great free shipping
Once I get everything around I will put a photo of the cutie up here. It's soooo tiny

Thanks Goofyfan! It really is sneaking up on us quickly now Hmmm, F1gment might have a turkey drumstick...I don't like them...We are most definitely having pizza for lunch on turkey day though

Not at all ready Just like last year, I am too busy to enjoy the antici...pation building up to the trip. Hopefully this weekend I will have a chance to throw some things together. F1gment is the same way with last minute appointments and even a school day tomorrow! I wonder if she will end up playing hooky?!
Hmmm, I'm not sure about this online check-in. I've heard others have done it. I don't know if we can, but I think I will go check it out...
EDIT: Yeah, I don't see anything for checking in online....

Go to disneyparks.disney.go.com and click register. Enter your email address and password to create your Disney account (I'm shocked you don't have one yet!) then it has a place for my reservations. Type in your ressie # and it will add the trip to your account.. Complete with a countdown in the top right corner! It shows all the details about your trip, adr info, I'm sure it would even show the tours you have scheduled. Within 10 days of your trip, which we are at now, it will give you a link saying that you can check in online. Click that and just verify your info. Once you complete it, you can go to the "express" online check-in line at All Star. When you check in you just flash your I'd and they hand you your packet. No delays and no long waits. It makes a HUGE difference at the Value resorts.

Seeing that countdown is worth it! It helps with the antici....pation of the trip.
