"Professional" Photographs





















Well, the whole way there and the whole way back, my friends and I had a lot of fun messing with my camera - especially one feature called "Color Accent" where you pick one color and the rest of the picture is black-and-white, except that one color. Those are just some of the pictures I got. But I thought you might enjoy seeing all these fun little pictures made by "photographers in training."

Disney, Day Five

The way back was very similar to the way there. We:

Watched the scenery...



Slept...

Talked in groups...



Listened to iPods... 

And, of course, messed around with my camera. And got some incredibly awesome shots out of that. Which you will see in the next post...

Disney, Day Four

Disney, Day Four - this was MGM (I mean, Hollywood Studios) and Animal Kingdom together. The first half of the day was Animal Kingdom, which means riding Mount Everest twice because my friends didn't feel like doing anything else, and the second half was MGM, which was switching groups so we could go at our own pace and then riding a ton of rides and watching a Fantasmic! show with Mickey. This was a really, really fun day!


The very big, very fun, very cool Mount Everest ride!

Mount Everest from a little ways away.

The Mount Everest ride, up close and personal! 

This is a lot of money inside the "Yeti Temple". We were joking that people who worked at the Mt. Everest ride should, instead of a paycheck, get thrown in there every two weeks and given 2 minutes to grab as much as they could.

This is the so-called Yeti Temple in line for the Mt. Everest rollercoaster! Yetis are the same as Bigfoot, for those of you who are like my mother and didn't know.

This is a Yeti. If you didn't know. 

This little WARNING made me laugh everytime I saw it, it looks like it should say "No dancing outside the rollercoaster!" 

There's a parrot in here somewhere. Look closely.

This is a duck at Animal Kingdom, who we lovingly nicknamed "Spaz Duck" for his odd habit of spazzing out randomly.

This is a pink bird in Animal Kingdom.

This is the really big guitar outside of Rock'N'Roll-er-coaster! Featuring Aerosmith. Dude looks like a lady!! (that's one of their songs, if you didn't know. It plays the entire ride long.)

This is the big magic hat at MGM-turned-Hollywood Studios.

This is the Honey I Shrunk The Kids playground, where everything is gigantic!

This was a really cool marbley door in line for the Rock'N'Roll-er-coaster

This was an Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, I entered thinking it was gonna be kind of cheesy and left thinking that was the most awesome show ever! They taught us a lot about how stunts work and how the stunts are performed, it was SO COOL!

The Tower Of Terror.... *cue twilight zone music*

Group photo!

This was a really cool restaurant called Planet Hollywood, full of famous collectors' items from different movies and shows. This is an outfit from Top Gun, and Herbie!

This is some famous outfit, I forgot who it's from. I think it was from a James Bond movie.

This is me, looking happy, at the restaurant.


Oh yeah. And at Animal Kingdom, my friends forced me onto the Bugs' Life 4-D Show (Tim said it was a fair trade for forcing him to ride Dumbo on day 3.) For those of you who don't know, normal 4-D shows frighten me (that's where you have 3-D glasses, PLUS it does special effects like shoot water at you or your seat moves.) Well, the Bugs' Life one is no normal 4-D show, it features wasps and black widows and stuff that terrified me when I was 7, the last time I went to Disney. It scared me no less this time. I. HATED. IT. But I survived. And I faced my fears at Disneyworld. Who would've thought?
