So beautiful. Almost looks like a painting.

Thank You! I really liked how it came out as well.

What the hell man wheres my invite

It was a last min thing to be honest with you. We got up there around 8pm and wasn't even sure I was going to be able to sneak away from the family. My brother had to run to guest relations to get his AP for the parks today so I had to talk my way into having to go with him My wife still thinks I we went to DTD to get his pass ound: Ask Mike, I was seriously running around the park trying to squeeze in as much as I could in that half hour. On top of that while I was gone my wife was having issues with the hotel we were staying at so that only added to everything.

Its true, I had no sooner decided I was going to go to Universal than Mike was like "Hey, I'll be there tonight, want to take pictures?"

Don't worry, you didn't miss much, besides walking onto Toy Story (that's the great thing about having two Fantasmics, its a walk on while the first one happens) and a completely empty Streets of America...until a family appeared from out of nowhere in the middle of having my shutter open! :saw:

How'd your Muppets fountain shots cone out? I got a good one of both the lower and higher perspective but think ill post the higher one. You can get a better view of the statues in the fountain versus the lower one. I totally bombed the ToT shots, that blue lighting gave me a run for my money

I feel like this has been addressed, but what is the policy on bringing a tripod into the parks? I wanna take some night shots in November but i'll definitely need a slower shutter speed

Its been talked about through the boards here but who knows where or in what thread

And at Universal the larger family lockers will fit a a huge tripod in case you wanted to stash it in there. The ride lockers are small and don't fit much.

Epcot has luggage sized lockers by the bus drop off and pickup, the other parks I havent noticed but im sure they are around
