WDW 2010 [HD VIDEO]

Recently took a business trip to Florida that allowed me to divert to WDW. It rained several days I was there, but I still had a good time and got some decent video. The video was shot with my new Sony HDR-CX520 camcorder. I like it!

To view in full 1080i HD resolution, you'll have to follow the link to Vimeo and watch it there.

Blogger FAIL

Sorry about any posting delays or errors in loading this page over the next couple of weeks, but Blogger recently announced they will no longer support websites like mine. Accordingly, I'll be updating the site to operate with a different blogging mechanic. Bear with me, it should be over soon.

Thanksgiving In Texas

Recently got back from Dallas, where I was visiting my brother for Thanksgiving. The weather was surprisingly good for the time of year, so we got to go see a lot of things during our trip. It was pretty cool!

Holiday Time at Six Flags was Awesome! I highly Recommend!

Another awesome trip done and in the books! Aside from the good BBQ, there was a surprisingly large number of things to do in the Dallas area. Hopefully we can get back to visit more often and see everything there is in the area. Good times!

Disneyland Halloween!

Sorry this post is a little late, but Mary and I went over to Disneyland for their Halloween offerings this year. It was pretty cool how they decorated the park and re-did some of the attractions for Halloween. It looks like they've found their niche with Knotts and USH doing the "adult" Halloween events and Disney sticking to a more family friendly version.

Mickey Jams Out on Main Street

All in all, we had a great trip. I was shocked by all of the operations down-times during our trip. We got suck on Indy, Toy Story Mania, Autopia and Mansion. We also saw Pirates, Grizzly Rapids, Screamin', Space, Splash, Matterhorn and Roger Rabbit go down. Bizarre. It didn't ruin our fun though. We still had a great time and hopefully we can go back soon!

Evening at South Mountain

Made my way up South Mountain for the first time in a few years. It was good to get back up there and take a few photos. Hey, we even had a few friends show up!
