Thank you! I brought the tripod to the room, I prefer not to use a flash. I wish I had more time to take outside photos too, I have some - but it was such a lovely, foggy night. 150 or so pics is pretty good, that doesn't count what I took of my family.

That is too nice, but thank you. I'm glad I had the extra time to take so many pictures, I wanted to spend time with my family #1. But they also were taking photos, so that helped. I wish I had more time for outside ones, we don't get great fog like that so often.

You have much more adventurous reports than I do also! I've done some really awesome things in the past few years, but you are always doing so much more. I really enjoy reading your reports! I will PM you back tomorrow, it's been so busy today. :-D

Denise,

I just read your report from your site, and I wanted to THANK YOU! I love to read these experiences - it seems like every family that shares their story has a unique memory of what happens, and that just makes it so special! If our family was ever chosen, it was be a literal dream come true for me, so I do enjoy living vicariously through the lucky winners. And I especially enjoy it when the winners are terrific photographers who can capture every nook and cranny!!

Thanks again!!

You are welcome! I figured I'd be taking a breather this past week, I've already been at Disney more than I should lately! I wasn't really a winner, just a lucky loser who's parents won! I am not sure that staying in the castle was a dream of mine, but I was very excited to do so - and taking pictures inside definitely was one. Plus the tub, that was ammmmaaazing.

I only started taking photos again (creatively) after most of 8 years away. I started taking night pictures again in October. So I am not a photographer, but I do enjoy it.

One pic from 6 weeks ago, ice castle (my most requested):

and the castle pic from Saturday that I get asked most about (it's not an inside one, suprisingly):

You're very modest. Those are great photographs. You are indeed a very good photographer!

Thank you - I'm happy with the photos, I actually never meant to get back into anything creative again, but it's been fun.

I'm glad you liked the photos! I have a lot of the Cinderellas ice castle too, but from weeks ago. And thanks! I'm glad you liked the pics. I used a tripod for almost everything (anything inside the castle, and like the ice castle photo that I have above, and the fog pics).

I'm wondering what they let you take as a souvenir of the suite?

We had the white chocolate carriage, as well as our ears, buttons, and H20 products. I would have been happy to purchase a bathrobe, they were really nice! There were a few other items - like our key cards. That I will keep. Oh - and a few pieces of note paper. Some family members took the rose pieces too.

 

[Princess_Belle]

You could have taken a bathrobe. All we did was ask if we could have one and the concierge said "If you want to take one a new one for tomorrows guests will 'Magically' appear!" I love my bathrobe! it does make a special souvenir!

Awwww...darn. We all loved the bathrobes! I would definitely have liked to take one, but I don't like taking things that aren't generally meant for taking.

I am jealous you have one!

 

[nbodyhome]

Oh - I got to meet yesterdays winners, so that was almost as exciting as staying (knowing what they were in store for).

I hope you do get to win! I'm sorry for the delay in responding, I didn't realize that the thread had another post. I wish I had more time to take fog pics!
