Towards the late afternoon, we made our way over to Hollywood Studios. Tower of Terror was one of our fast passes, but we took a leisurely stroll getting to the ride in order to enjoy and soak in the park atmosphere. There was a trio of performers engaging in a bit of a vaudeville act which...

Thank you @MinnieM123! That show is lighted so beautifully that it's hard to take a bad pic. I'll be hoping that happens for you @fractal!

Actually when I thought about it more @fractal, I do shoot candids in manual mode too, but I engae auto ISO. I still prefer setting my own shutter speed so I can boost it up if there is a lot of movement in the room.

Thanks @fractal! Yes, meeting the Brickers was very cool. I read his blog regularly so it's a bit surreal meeting Tom in person. I will use aperture priority when I'm shooting candids at a get together or party. Otherwise, like you, I prefer full manual and controlling everything. Do you shoot...

Saturday, December 6th found us splitting the day between AK and HS. We enjoyed exploring more of Harambe Market, catching a live band performance and having coffee at pretty much the most beautiful Starbucks in the universe. We also took in Finding Nemo the Musical which ranks right up there...

Glad you enjoyed the Indy photos @LindsayLoves! I'm surprised how well that show has held up through the years. I'm envious of you heading to Prime Time in April! The fried chicken is a winner, but be sure to finish your vegetables. Hahahaha...thank you @lostpro9het (very cool username)! I...

After the party ended, everyone was pretty tired, including Sue, and decided to head back to the hotel, except for me. I wanted to hang out and see if I could do some shooting after park closing. I was busy photographing the main boulevard (it was past 1:45 am) and one of the security guards...

Our night ended with the Merry and Bright Dessert Party. This would be the first and last time we would get to experience the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights Finale! I had initially balked at the $60.00 price for this hard ticket event. That was a lot of bucks for some pastries and...

Our tummies full, Sue and I headed to Frozen Sing Along Celebration...our next fast pass selection. People really seem to enjoy this show based on forum comments. As for me, I found the production quite curious. Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff appear sporadically until the finale. Olaf is no where in...

We met up with our friends a little before noon to check into 50's Prime Time Cafe for lunch. Prime Time, along with Sci-Fi Dine-In, represent Disney at its best in terms of immersive theming. I love everything about Prime Time, from the rather simple concept (dining at your mom's house) to some...

Thank you @farrellbarrel for the overly generous compliments! My talent really consists of taking a million photos and hoping a hundred of them turn out good...:confused:

It's fitting that Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the last scenes in the Great Movie Ride as our next FP was for the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. I saw this back in 2004 and the show still holds up incredibly well today. The stunts, set, props, and actors are all first rate. Audience...

Friday was earmarked as a full day and night at Disney's Hollywood Studios! Although this park receives its fair share of criticisms, I must say Sue and I really enjoyed our time there. Without a doubt, HS has two of the best themed restaurants in all of WDW, as well two of the best hard ticket...

I actually prefer DL to MK, but I try to keep that on the down low here...o_O

Have a great time on your trip! Your plans look rock solid...great job of planning!

Once I felt I had enough shots of the castle's backside (and feeling the stares of the security guards right behind me), I moseyed towards the front. I did fire off a couple of rounds at King Arthur's Carousel. Not totally happy with how it came out, but at this point, I was rushing to finish up...

After the parade ended, we said goodbye to Sarah and Tom and hit the shops and rides. Sad to say, we missed out on a lot of stuff at the Christmas party. You really need to do this more than once to get the full experience (but at $70.00 a pop, I can see that as being unfeasible for a lot of...

Thanks @MinnieM123 ! My photos still need a lot of work, but I'm having fun learning. Tomorrowland will always be a tough nut to fully crack, but if anyone can do it, it'd be Disney! For real @DonnaOnTheRocks? I must have bumped into you guys somewhere along the way...LOL!

After reuniting with my wife, we made our way back to Main Street to stake out a prime spot for the Christmas parade. In his blog, Tom Bricker recommended watching (and shooting) the parade from the Christmas tree at the end of Main Street. This would allow for a head on view as well as framing...
