I apologize if this has been asked before but here is the scenario. Group of three wanting to get premier pass for MK. We would like to use Disney Gift cards to buy this but the max allowed on a card is $1000 and 3 MK premier pass will exceed that amount. Can we.... 1. Use two different gift...

I just returned from a stay at the Clarion. I guess my review would be it is ok. Room was clean, although a bit of a musty smell. They messed up my reservation for a king room so they "upgraded" us to a corner suite, which was large and gave us a partial view of the fireworks at night but was...

Cabana = $500 well spent.

Curious why the manual mode full time, as opposed to program then adjusting the aperture/depth of field or shutter speed up and down from there. Are you finding you are getting better exposures. Every time I try to do that full time I tend to miss shots.

I've been lurking on the boards here for years and never comment but I have to comment on your photography. First, I just read your disneyland report and laughed at the pop up flash incident, should have bought the Nikon D800 (just kidding I'm a lifelong Nikon guy). Second, no matter how nice...

1/25 - 2/1 at POR. My family and a family of WDW first timers. I love being a tour guide to first timers.

I got through at 7:02 and was put on hold. They answered at 7:30 and I got CRT for 1/31 at 8AM and Chef Mickeys for 1/26 at 5PM. Based on what people are saying here I feel pretty lucky to have gotten through. We had 4 people from our party calling and I am the only one who got through. Everyone...

My wife and I started dialing at 7. Her on her cell and me a land line. I got into the queue at 2 or 3 minutes after but am still on hold. She never got through.

spinning.....spinnning.....spinning then session timed out. Looks like I am going to be in the speed dial race at 7.

Or maybe the better question; is it a better idea to just buy the annual pass and use the annual passholders discounts for a mid November trip?

I was wondering if anyone can help me with a question. I have been debating getting an annual pass. If I were to book this special (if it actually happens) would I be able to apply the value of the magic your way tickets towards an annual pass when I got on site?

I forgot to put my D200 on the list which is what I would use that lens for. I'm saving my pennies for the Nikon 14-24 for the 700.

Nice report and very nice pictures. I am a bit of a camera nut (D700, 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 50 1.4). I appreciate your comments about the Tokina wide angle. I have been going back and forth on the Nikon wide angle but was having a hard time with the price difference. I think your shots have...

I am thinking of a November trip this year and want to avoid this week if possible. It's not that I don't like all you people from New Jersey, just trying to avoid the crowds.

Nikon D200. Great camera though a little bit on the pricey side. I am kind of partial to Digital SLRs over point and shoot cameras because of the speed and lens quality differences.
