up to?
That Barbaraann! When she goes to WDW and posts
a Trip Report, she goes all out! Check out 10 days worth of
splendid photos done in scrapbook style. She and her awesome
family lived it up big time at all the Disney Parks (with a
secret side trip to Sea World - shh!) and took ample photos
to put together. An amazing display!
My
First Trip to Walt Disney World
New member Jeaannguyen brings back some great
pictures of WDW after his first trip there. Taking advantage
of the many characters there... I mean, he really got some terrific
photos of many characters! He even mentions wanting to be in

to get me interested.

A Re - Imagining!
Disneyson 1 has a lot of imagination! And a
lot of energy! And a lot of crayons. Take a look at what happens
when the three combine to develop a new concept for the SpectroMagic
parade. This kid (I actually have no idea how old he is) has
some of the most detailed ideas and concepts this side of Imagineering.
Excellent work!
