Isn't that just amazing how fast time has gone, and that your "baby" is now hoping to do some big rides.
I hope you have some awesome family memories
I have no clue at all how we plan to work around CP. We've been there that weekend a couple of times and lived to tell the tale. I think that first year we did the holiday tour on one of those days. It was worth it then because it still included 3 rides. This time we're considering Fantasmic with a dinner package one of those nights. I think we did that in 2014 and it worked out fine. Not sure yet what our plan is. I imagine we'll end up hopping back and forth on those days. We'll likely start at DL on Saturday because of the early entry, but try to spend most of that day in DCA. I'm really hoping to get a lot of quality DL time on Wednesday and Thursday leading up to that. I have the feeling we'll be making it all up as we go along!
I feel for you on the schedule issues. It's just as hard as they get older too. We have substantially shortened our trips with my daughter in high school now.
I really did like that week before Thanksgiving for crowds and weather, but my daughter and I both felt like we just weren't in the Christmas spirit enough yet to full enjoy the season.
The 6D with that Tamron lens is a killer combination. Spectacular photos, but it certainly is a beast to carry around. I sometimes go with the f/4 lens just for less weight. Lately I've been digging out my nifty fifty a lot more for a lighter wait combination. Ultimately I'm just not much of a prime girl though. I miss my zoom when it's not on. That said, the 50mm prime will be on the camera when I head out to my daughter's tennis match this afternoon. But then the court never moves on me.
I guess I need to make some dining reservations in a couple weeks and I don't have a clue yet when I want to do what. I really have ditched my WDW roots!
