Ugh -- I had the perfect picture for last month! I forgot to check the forums!

Oh well, I'm back for this month.

bluepirategrl · 02-03-2010, 01:08 PM

Here is my picture of "it's a small world". I thought this picture was to cute.

My camera doesn't do a very well in the no-flash dark rides. Here is my best shot:

lynner5996 · 02-03-2010, 04:13 PM

This is one of my favorite all-time attractions, so I have LOTS of pictures of every room and lots of pictures that include my favorite people enjoying the ride! But of all of them, this is one of my favorites because it was an evening spent at the Magic Kingdom with very special people during a very special trip - January 2008.

My husband Steve and our friend Ali having a big laugh on the ride!

I'm pretty sure iasw does allow flash photography. It's not dark enough where flashes will bother other guests.

I didn't know this either! I guess I need to add that to my list of things not to miss.....My mom usually says, "Haven't you been on it enough, and it hasn't changed has it?" She just doesn't get it..

I know I can't participate in the contest but I wanted to post my favorite IASW picture:

DisneyDaddy · 02-04-2010, 08:39 AM

I thought IASW (like all dark rides) was a no-flash zone. If not, it should be.

lynner5996 · 02-04-2010, 11:25 AM

I usually don't use a flash when I take pictures there. It really bothers me when people snap away. The only time I have ever taken advantage of using my flash is when I am on a boat either all by myself or with very, very few people. This has happened frequently during extra magic hours. It seems that everyone wants to do the coasters in the dark, so Small World is very lightly attended. At least, that has been my experience.

cindybelle86 · 02-04-2010, 02:16 PM

I was on the WDW site, looking at something else and found the following information.

Flash photography is NOT permitted in It's a Small World.

Here is the url: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/par...a-small-world/

Just passing it along....

Thanks... I guess I was missed informed.

cindybelle86 · 02-04-2010, 02:34 PM

It's OK April. I actually found that every attraction listed on the website says whether or not photography is permitted and if flash can be used.

Any way, here is my picture.

mindymar · 02-05-2010, 10:02 PM

It turns out I don't have very many that aren't blurry... I will have to work on that in March

This is It's a Small World in Disneyland:

Cheshirekat · 02-06-2010, 01:05 AM

This is Christmas at the Disneyland Resort. I grab a quick shot as I was getting on the ride.

I see you are using Flickr... what you need to do is click on all sizes and at the bottom there is a link. Grab that link. It has to end in .jpg to work.

DisneyDaddy · 02-06-2010, 04:25 PM

April -- what's the ruling on the flash/no-flash photos?
