Photo Pass Overload

As you can see, it was still pretty empty as we reached the end of Main Street and looked back toward the train station.

While we were approaching the hub, the family of the day drove by in the fire engine. I guess they were getting some sort of special tour before they boarded the train to open the park.

We asked one of the Photo Pass photographers whether we could do some backwards-facing pictures with our ear hats and the castle, and they gladly obliged.

Reaching the Partners statue, I had to get a picture without thousands of people around.

There were more Photo Pass photographers around the hub, so we kept asking to take pictures.

One of the photographers actually had us pose facing away from the camera, but she decided to have us tilt our heads away from each other so the castle would be in the shot. The picture DID NOT have the desired effect, but might win the prize of the trip for the most awkward shot.

And then she had us pose with Tinkerbell again.

I played around with our shadows and our ears hats in silhouette.

When we got up to the castle, there was a small group going on a guided tour. I would love to do one of those someday! There they are in the background of this picture.

Our next Photo Pass photographer was a sassy Frenchman who had us change up the poses a little. We had fun with him.

Some of these castle shots are the best Photo Pass pictures we’ve ever gotten, except for that darn crane looming over Fantasyland. One of these days, I’m going to take the time to Photoshop the crane out of them.

Seeing that we were ending up with lots of similar pictures, the manager/trainer from earlier came up to one of our photographers and told her to have us do another magic shot. This time, we got to do balloons.

After the family of the day had finished using the fire engine, it was abandoned in front of the castle. So obviously, Tracy and I went up to take some pictures with it.

One of the photographers hanging around asked us if we wanted a picture with the fire engine together.

I took another picture of our favorite statue as our time before our reservation started ticking down.

We paid a visit to the Rose Garden and the Tomorrowland area of the hub.

But finally, it was time to check in at Crystal Palace. We started to make our way toward the restaurant.

I didn’t know when the next time I’d get to see Main Street this empty would ever be, so I lingered a little longer and took a couple more pictures.

Finally finished, for now, we went over to Crystal Palace and checked in for our reservation.
