Very first upload!

Finally! It took me several days longer than I thought it would, but I've just uploaded my first file to the Gallery, of our trip to Disneyland in February. Hope you like it!

Great fun, Jennylynn! We used to live in southern California and we'd visit Disney every year, on my daughter's birthday. (Fortunately, she was born in January, when the park is virtually empty!)

You brought back a lot of memories.

Very nice, but you never said what ride you were looking forward to!

Very nice Jenny,

Here is a direct link to the video, it is always easier for people when the link is right in the topic

Thanks, Chuck -- for future reference, how do I post the link?

For the curious, the ride I was most looking forward to was "Pirates of the Caribbean," both because I loved it in previous visits, and because I knew they'd added Captain Jack Sparrow figures (which were fabulous!). Other favorites are Space Mountain and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I also really liked our tour guide on the Jungle Cruise (though I seemed to be the only one laughing at his jokes!)

Thanks for sharing Jenny! One question...how do you get your teens to talk on camera? My 17yo clams up and rolls her eyes. I did tell her that I will one day put a video together of her eye rolling clips

Hi, Cheryl --

I think my kids are all just hams! They have always loved taking the camcorder and making their own videos with their friends. They also love watching the end results, and I think they realize it's a lot more fun when you actually say something!

I also think they figure if they humor me, I'm more likely to give them what they want.

Never been to Disneyland, but Disney World is about 2 hours from here, so I've been many times and I can't wait until my son is old enough to go. BTW, what's up with knocking "It's a Small World?" It's the second best after "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!"

[jennylynn]

Sorry if we offended any "Small World" lovers...I actually loved it as a kid, too. My husband is the one who makes fun of it all the time (I think it's just the repetitiveness of the song he hates -- and I'm not so sure he really does hate it, he just loves making fun of it!)

Nice job. Your kids are adorable. And you're sooo lucky that they have no problem being videoed.

It also brought back memories of our trip to Disneyland about 10 years ago.
