As I know many were waiting for this

Indeed, the long awaited slide show I been wanting to do of my D-Land/AX journey *coughcoughnearlytwomonthsagocough*.

This was from one of the people's houses we were staying at. Actually this was the second day we were there, for some reason when we got there, there was a row of geese just sitting outside for pretty much no reason... and I just thought it made a kewl shot XP

slightly better/close up angle.. Taken a little later after the first one

And even later on I used a left over pizza crust to make them come closer(plus, was extremely bored.. but then they started to follow me around for more food afterwords.. XD;;;;). And there was a little baby goose with them that got kinda close to me so I get a picture of it. Though it turned out kinda blurry ><

And now we are into the D-Land pictures. This is one of the little awesome droid guys(*coughamericasingsgooseskeletoncough*) from the line for Star Tours.... Kinda like the way this turned out actually XP

This can also be called a "In-line" picture, but actually, I took this on the ride, well, waiting to get to the loading dock to get off anyway(it swings back to the where the line is at the end, and has this scene to look at). The map is actually suppose to light up and show the PotC title sometimes, but for the brief moment I took this it didn't, and you can't even notice anything with it at all(which looks kinda kewl like that IMO XP)

Snakies.... XP.. Indiana Jones in-line(the outer part of it) picture of the temple you go into and stuff.. Such an awesome ride it is...

The outside of Splash Mountain. For some reason the last two days Dan and I were there it kept breaking down. This was the first time it happened, but it's kinda rare to see the doors closed like that so I tok a picture of it(plus, I was trying things out with my camra, so it was a good excuse, lol)

This is an on-ride picture from Splash(actually taken on the same night it broke down, it came back alive for the last hour of the day, which was good because we had a fastpass to use up still..). Thanks to the playing with my camra settings from the picutre above, I learned something: How to turn off my flash(because it's has an auto flash that goes off if it's not bright enough). However there is a downfall, my shutter speed sucks ass whenever I do it. So with the smallest movement the picture gets blurry as hell. And we all know the whole "No flash photography" speil they always make. So, I tried to be a good tutorist and not use mine........ Anyways, these are the awesome vultures you see just before the last and ever so famous 'drop of death' of Splash Mountain. I'm sure I can probably find I much better quality picture of them on the web or something too..

And this is after the last drop and go into the Riverboat scene. Hurzah more blurry stuff they you can kinda make out XD(though the lights look interesting..)

I think this was taken right after I saw the fireworks(which, btw, kick so much ass, and I'm someone that hates that stuff of things o_o;). Were sitting next to Pizza Port and noticed the interesting colors on Space Mountain. So.. yeah.. It's too bad it wasn't reopened yet when we were there ._.

More Splash and it's famous last drop. This was actually taken on the ride too(you circle around it at the beginning).... kinda like a seeing your doom before getting there XD;;;;

I actually really like this picture. This is from Haunted Mansion. For the 50th aniversity they did changes to certain things(or majorly cleaned things up and updated things). One of the changes was making Leotta(sp?) float above the table she was originally sitting on. Which is kinda kewl, but in the picture it kinda looks more like blue smoke/flames rather than a crystal ball due to the blur. Also like how the candles and book look too.(also taken when ride was in "crawl/creeping mode")

More Haunted pictures. Those who have been on the ride many many times know that they have to occisionally have to either stop it or put it on crawl/creeping mode(in which it moves like half as slow, but great for bad shutter speed XD). This is because of getting handicap people on and stuff(all cars/whatever you wanna call them are attached together like a big train, so it's hard to get someone out of a wheelchair and over to one of the cars that is in motion)... Which is why it happens. Anyways, we stopped in the graveyard area next to the ghosts with tea, and was a good oppertunity to take this.

More in-line pictures from Indi, inside the temple this time(that ride has like the BEST line ever). Was a painting found inside one of main rooms of the temple line on the ceiling dome. Why I took it? *shrugs* XD



Image hosted by Photobucket.com
From the same room as the painted ceiling dome. The silly British guy inside the well.. ish... thing.. That sometimes if you pull on the rope he falls down and stuff.. it's such fun to do when bored and feeling evil (like the convient bambo pillar acting like a support beam inside the spike room.... X3)

More images from Splash, taken from train that actually goes through it. Once again the Riverboat scene from before. Yet another picture where I think the blur adds a kewl effect.



Image hosted by Photobucket.com
... And I finally was naughty enough to use my flash ._... Leotta again(aka: Floatiball XD), but a more clear pic of her.



Image hosted by Photobucket.com
No... You're eyes do not fool you.... it is Mickey..... on top of Matterhorn.... why? I have no idea.... XD(I'm glad my zoom works nicely, was afraid it would look pixelated.. and it doesn't even look far at all from it XD)



Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Brer(sp?) Rabbit on Splash at the very end and near the loading dock again. Was hoping it wouldn't be too blurry because we hit a massive traffic jam, thus why I took this.



Image hosted by Photobucket.com
And here's... ME! XD I did an interesting trick. By taking a picture of the tv screens that show the picture taken of you down the last drop.. I got lucky(and was partly suicidal XD) and was up in the very front(with Dan behind me).. And what do I do? Show off of course XD. Honestly, that was the first time I ever went down not holding on.... and trying to keep an expression like that was NOT easy when looking down at a pitch black misty pit of death with torns at about a 100-120 degree angle XD;;;

More close up picture of us. "........ This is bad..... isn't it?" XP


Next time: the AX pictures~! ^o^
