Thanks, Matt. I probably should have shifted a foot to the left so the granite base wasn't blocking the bottom of the statue, but I didn't notice that until I was doing post.

Well,Christmas is the best and worst time to go there. They have a lot of special things going on and extra parades, decorations, etc. BUT the crowds, particularly at Magic Kingdom are huge. Traffic in this area is monstrous.

Me and the kids, 15 and 11, all preferred Animal Kingdom. Lots of photo ops and the rides are also good and less crowded.

If you take little kids, then the Magic Kingdom is a must. Epcot is interesting, but mainly for older kids. It's been a long time since I've been Hollywood Studios in 21-years, so I'm not current, but it was fun when we went.

Downtown Disney is a great place for dining. Raglan Road Pub had great stouts, beers and ales, with great food, live music and great dancers. Save room for the bread and butter pudding. It's really a great spot:

i haven't been there since this past summer, it could be a new dorm for UMASS Boston

I was thinking that. Photography = terrorism, you know.

On the flight yesterday I missed a really nice shot of Chicago just as the sun was beginning to set because Helga the Nazi Stewardess yelled at me to turn off my S95. I didn't know tiny cameras were lethal to airliners.

Got this tonight. Rushed the shot since there were cars coming. Forgot it was at F4 so DOF was messed up but I wanted the color in the sky and I was fixed on that too much.

The weather finally cleared up around here and I made a trip around the island with the GF. We stopped for shrimp at Giovanni's and also to take a few pics of my car.
