There... now you all can see why I take so many pictures, as these are honestly only some of the ones I took. :blush:

Hope you enjoy seeing them, and that they either get you even more excited for your upcoming trip, or bring back some of your favorite memories of your "home away from home"!! :cloud9:

Thank you SO much for those pics. We only have 19 more days until our 1st stay at AKL and I can't wait. It looks like you had a great time!

Hey! This looks like the room we had...lol

We named some of the animals too, they became ours... These pictures are great, it makes me feel like I'm there again.

What a beautiful family. Those are some of the best pictures I've seen of Disney. What type of camera did you use, make,model?
thanks
I never wanted to stay at AKL. But after seeing those pictures...not so sure.

Thank you!

I have a pretty basic point & shoot digital, it's Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. It has a 10x optical zoom, which is what allowed me to get such good animal shots. Most of the zebras and antelopes came pretty close, but the giraffes never got did -- thank goodness for the zoom for them!! :thumbsup:

I'm dreaming of a Nikon D90 SLR... or should I say my DH is and maybe I'll get to try it... ;)

Ooh, makes me excited to go in just a few months. I loved the rest of your 300 shots. Made me want to go during October. Seeing Donald in Davy Crockett gear is cool.

Love the pool pics. Thats the view I had from the 5th floor when I stayed there. Can't wait to do it again.

Gorgeous photos! I'm like you, when I get my camera in my hand, I just can't stop myself. And animals and Disney are two of my HUGE photo weaknesses.

Just 45 more days till our first stay at Kidani Village and your photos have made my day! :thumbsup:

Great pictures! I love the pics of the animals (especially the flamingos) and the lobby pictures are spectacular. It isn't easy to get clear pictures in there. Most pictures I've seen are very dark because the outside light tends to dominate the cameras. Kudos!

Also, I'm not surprised that this is only a fraction of the pictures one might take. We took over 800 pictures in 6 days in NH last summer! I can only imagine how many we'll take in WDW next year...:mickey:

Thanks!! And I get teased immeasurably b/c of how many photos I take, but when I get home and see how well some of them turned out after the 5th or 6th try... it's worth it!! ;) I keep telling myself next time I'll do better... but the only thing I do better at is taking more!! :D
