We Went to Disneyland Paris!

by John Featured, Resorts

Early this month, as part of a few week 10th wedding anniversary through Europe, Elyssa and I spent a few nights at Disneyland Paris. We will likely have some more in-depth thoughts about the resort in the coming weeks, but, in the meantime, enjoy these photos!

We’ll finish with the highlight of our Disneyland Paris stay: Disney Electrical Sky Parade. Think all the nostalgia of the Main Street Electrical Parade, but in a spectacular drone show in the sky. It was amazing.

When Elyssa Brings her Camera to Disney World

by John Featured, Walt Disney World

As we’ve talked about on the site before, Elyssa’s “real” job is as a wedding and portrait photographer over at Kivus and Camera. Well, during our most recent trip to Disney World, Elyssa spent some time with her sister and her sister’s fiancé taking pictures. A couple of images are included below, but, if you want to see the whole set (and there about 35 more), you can head over to the Kivus and Camera blog and see the post.

New Rope Drop [dot] Net Feature – Everyday Carry – John’s Disney Bag

by John Commentary, Featured, Meta, Opinion, Planning, Touring, Walt Disney World

Eagle-eyed readers might have noticed a new navigation option pop up in the menu a few days ago. That was a “soft launch”, but today we’re officially launching a new feature on the site: Everyday Carry – John’s Disney Bag. People who know me are aware of the extent that I iterate over every aspect of my Disney plans, always trying to refine each and every detail. As you might expect, that refinement extends to the bag that I bring with me to the parks pretty much every day.

This first version of the feature goes directly to my current bag setup. As things evolve (which has a high likelihood of happening in the upcoming months), I anticipate changing the page to more easily view (what will then be) historical versions.

Let me know on Twitter what you think (and what you bring with you to the park!)
