Today put the sun in Sunday, it was one beautiful (but super hot) day! I took the day off and we headed down to Disneyland bright and early this morning so that we could beat the crowds and have a little fun. I think everyone else had the same idea too, Disneyland was PACKED! We have this book about inside secrets to the park and it tells you which rides to ride first based on how long they take and how many people can get through at a time. One of the rides that takes the longest to get through is Dumbo because of the loading, unloading and how many people it can take at a time, so we always go to that one first. Or if anyone is planning on going soon and you want to check out the new Finding Nemo ride, run and get in line the minute the park opens, today there was well over a 90 minute wait. We skipped Nemo since we’ve ridden it already and didn’t feel like waiting that long.
I’m a bad photographer, when I go to Disneyland I usually just take my little point and shoot camera and throw it in the backpack. The few times that I took my DSLRs I regretted it because I was constantly worried about them getting broken, bumped or stolen. With my point and shoot it’s just so much easier, although I think everyone else had their nice DSLRs with them, not so many point and shoots being carried anymore.
My kids would rather eat dirt than have me try and photograph them, so out of the 6 hours we were there today I took a grand total of 8 photos and three little video clips. So I’ll share two of the photos and one of the clips. I hope you all had a great weekend!
PS - It’s ok if my voice gets on your nerves in this video, it gets on mine too, at least you don’t have to live with it and hear it 24 hours a day!
I call this video “When Giant Hands Attack!

Great job on the fill light
Love the video!! Hysterical. We definitely have that book as well and my husband makes sure that we follow The Plan (TM).
Sounds like a great day despite the crowds! I also take just my p&s to Disney and am but one in a sea of d40s. 
This is the sign of an awesome photographer…when you can make shots with a point and shoot look amazing! Loving your color! Off to watch the video but have to wait till my kids are out of the room or they will bug me to watch it over and over.
Point & shoot, schmoint & schmoot! Your images, as alwasy, so beautiful.
LOVE the video. LOVE it. I’ve been carrying around the P&S more often. It’s fun to not worry about breaking something….throw it in my pocket & just GO!
These are so sweet and Angela I adore your daughters haircut a lot. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise? lol
You have 8 more pictures than I have from the weekend, I hear you though.
Hahaha, loved that video! I am always surprised when I hear your accent. I need to get over it. LOL
I take my p&s to Disney too. In fact, I take it most everywhere.
oh you all are lucky, I have never been there, I would love to go there someday!
Okay Angela, I think I need that book. We are hoping to spend Christmas 2009 in the US and Disneyland is going to one of our first stops. Coming all the way from Australia means we don’t know any tips and tricks so if you have any cool hints to share I’d love to hear them.
These photos are great, makes me long to get there.
awwww…. we were Disney’ing at the same time but on opposite coasts! I’m not nearly as good with my p’n’s as you are though, LOL!
