I've received several comments wishing that the teacups picture was a desktop. Unfortunately it has several people's faces in it, and it's just impossible to delete them or to artistically darken them enough. Perhaps in the future I can get another shot that will work... possibly after the summer months when the ride isn't so full. That was the only time that there were any open teacups while I was standing there, so I feel that I got lucky to get that one!

Believe me, I was hoping for more desktops from the fireworks, too. But Mister Big Head just ruined most of the shots so I had to crop out so much of the castle and then do some photoshopping to either remove or disguise his huge noggin. The pictures that were posted look ok in 720x450 resolution, but larger and you can really see that there's something "off" in the bottom 1/4 of the screen.

There's always next time, right? Hopefully I'll get a spot on the other side of the walkway in the off season.

Let's hope I have better luck at "Fantasmic!"

How about a teacup shot with all the participants of the Scavenger Hunt.....I don't think we would mind our smeared faces being made into a desktop.....just a thought....
