I suppose if I had better camera skillz this would not have been a problem but being an everyday picture taker - you couldn't see the snow in any of the pictures. If anyone has been sucessful at getting main street snow pictures turn out I'd love to hear any tips for my 2nd MVMCP trip this December.

Originally Posted By mickey_ring Some years ago I asked a France CM if I could see the Eiffel Tower replica up close. He opened a door and took me behind the scenes to see it. It's up on the roof of a building, no fanfare at all. I always wondered why it wasn't more of a feature of Epcot's France...
Originally Posted By jkayjs Someone did a pic of that kiss Blackie, one that will last forever. You did in your minds eye and it will never fade. There is another fave memory for my husband and I. We were at DL on our honeymoon 30 yrs ago. He had never been to a Disney park. I'ld been at WDW a couple of times. We had just entered the park and saw Mickey all alone so decided I would get my pic taken. I walked up and said "Mickey can I get my picture taken with you?". Boy was I shocked when Mickey responded in a graveley cigar smoking voice "Sure sweetie". My husband not knowing that the characters didn't speak snapped the picture just as Mickey spoke. I broke up and was taken aback at the same time. Everytime we see the pic we just laugh. Boy can you get anymore out of character? It was a National Lampoon version of Mickey Mouse. I was kinda cute back then but even I didn't think I was cute enough to break Mickey's silence.

Originally Posted By mickey_ring At just the right time of day, you can see rainbows in the water splashing over the rocks at Epcot's Canada. Makes for a great picture.
Originally Posted By Blackie Pueblo I also love in Epcot when your really hot, and the big fountain begins to do the dancing water performance. You can stand on the side of the fountain and just get soaked with nice cool water. Love it! I also love the wallpaper to the Haunted Mansion. It's something you don't really pay attention to, but it really adds to the atmosphere.
