Picture Match

Post by **Len90** » Oct Mon 27, 2008 12:00 am

Oh this is good topic. I have two resorts that I really like a lot so I figured I would post a picture from each of them!

First up is Yacht Club: I don't think I could have asked for nicer conditions to take this picture in!

Next up is Wilderness Lodge. The major thing for this resort is the lobby. So I went ahead with a lobby picture! The high ceiling, the chandeliers, and the sculptures all make this my favorite lobby of all the resorts.

OK we really need to talk about Picture Size

Everyone needs to make sure they only use pictures that are no larger than 640 x 480. And even then I think we are pushing it. This thread eats up a lot of bandwidth and that cost money. So we would like everyone to remember to ONLY post pictures 640 x 480 or smaller.

Thank you.

Is there a way to remove older pictures? I know it's not really cool, but it would save on bandwidth if after two months or whatnot pictures are removed. It would only be practical if a code could be written to edit [img]'s after a time period. It is too time-consuming for a person to go back and manually do this every month or so. Just an idea if people don't comply.

WHOAH, me neither... from all the publicity pictures I've seen of the All-Stars they just looked like they had all giant plasticy stuff. I didn't know they actually had decent theming!

All Star resorts are all about the larger than life giant plasticy stuff. Broadway slipped through when nobody was looking. I have lots of pics of the big plasticy stuff you probably don't want to see. One even has me in it!.

Wow thanks, sorry for getting off topic, but we're staying at the All Stars for the first time this winter because we used all our DVC points. I know which one we're requesting now

I'm in the process of resizing my pictures. All are now 640x480 or smaller.

On topic: I never realized that All Star is that nice. It is great to see some unique angles of the resorts that you don't see everyday!

Wow! I've stayed at the All Star Music twice and never saw that! Shows how observant I am...

I would say don't worry about deleting them, but you could resize them. What you would do for that is upload the picture to your hosting site, in the smaller size, then go to your post and click edit in the upper right corner of the post. then Simply insert the new link. The picture will be replaced and the image should appear smaller.

I noticed that you did in the other thread I posted this in. Thank You Very Much.

if you use Photobucket, you don't even need to go that far (editing the posts). All you need to do is use the Edit Picture function on Photbucket, and choose the "Replace Original" option when you're done resizing. once it's done saving, the pictures you've posted on any forum/site will automatically be resized. I just did that and it worked beautifully.

if you're using some other hosting site (like imageshack, for instance), you'd have to see if there is an option to do it like this, other wise you'll need to edit your posts like the good Dr suggested...

For posting pics on this site I use Photbucket. But for Displaying pics I use Flickr and Photrade. Check out my Signature for links.

OK enough resorts. (I am amazed nobody had AKL pics!)

Anyone want to pick a new subject?

packwingfn · Post by **packwingfn** » Nov Sat 01, 2008 2:58 pm

I have a few from AKL actually. When I was down for the CP, I visited almost every hotel that I never been too since I had 4 1/2 months down there. I saw Wilderness Lodge, AKL, Boardwalk, Caribbean, Port Orleans French Quarter, Saratoga Springs, Coronodo Springs. It was a lot of fun. AKL was my 2nd favorite behind Wilderness Lodge. I would love to stay at Wilderness someday.

Okay, I'll move this on to one of my favorite restaurants... Prime Time Cafe. I have some great pictures there from my last trip of me getting tortured (well I did deserve it). So let's show off our funny pictures from Prime Time!

Here is one of me holding a suger packet against the wall with my nose and a napkin over my head. The wall was for ignoring my server for keeping my elbows on the table and the napkin was added since I went on my cell phone while being punished!

I'll throw in a second one that is a great family picture. In this picture are my mom, dad, brother, Uncle Tim, and me.

I have some other funny ones on my photobucket site: http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/FDNYwiz/Disney/
