Q&A
i’m planning to buy an expensive camera for my trip in march. i’m concerned about where to leave it while on the larger rides. thanks.

With the exception of Sum of All Thrills at Epcot, you can take your camera with you on every ride at Walt Disney World. The only one you might not want to take it on is Kali River Rapids. We’ve never had a problem on any other attractions. Usually, it doesn’t fit in the small storage areas on rides, but as long as you bag is a reasonable size, it’ll fit at your feet. Most of the time, I keep my camera in my hand for the duration of the ride. Hope that helps.

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Loved the little bits of information from all over…kept it up on my computer screen all morning & whenever I had the chance came back and clicked on another link. Great format! Especially loved the Rhine River (which I had never heard about!) and Body Wars:) Only problem I had was when I clicked on the first link to the Journey Into Imagination, it took me to the 2nd link about the FB cover photos.
Great job!!
One of the most exciting things about the DTB News, from my perspective, is that it gives me a place to share a lot of the articles that I enjoy on other websites. Hopefully it brings some new traffic to sites that I’ve long-enjoyed!
I’ll have to fix that link, thanks for the heads up!
Love it! Can’t wait for the One More Disney Day planning trips–we were actually planning our first Disneyland trip for around that time, so we made sure we would be there for the festivities!
Thank you very much for the mention of my update on your site! I thoroughly enjoy your fantastic photos, so I’m honored to be featured here! Thanks again.
You’re welcome. We enjoy your updates!
Nice job Tom. Keep up the good work.
