Going to Disney

[jmayoff]

My family and I are going to Disney World :) in January and this will be my first trip with my dSLR. I'm relatively new to slr photography, although through this podcast and others -- and doing a lot of reading, I feel I've accumulated a lot of photographic knowledge in the past few months.

Unfortunately, you can't cram any more that four months experience into four months of taking pictures.

My question: Does anyone have any suggestions about how and what to photograph while I'm there. I know I'll want to do some night photography (fireworks, lit up castle etc.) but is there anything I should be looking out for, things not necessarily related to Disney itself, but to vacation pictures in general.

Here's what I'm bringing with me:
Nikon D60
18-55mm zoom
55-200mm zoom
SB-600 flash (with wireless trigger)
Tripod
Closeup lens & reversing ring.

I would just make sure that you take lots and make sure you know whether you will be going near water...

You might want to pick up a couple slow motion belts for the kids.

Disney is great for kids but is IMO, one of the most hyper-commercialized places on the planet and as such has been photographed to death.

I would look for unique angles, selective focus opportunities and macro shots - things like that.
