Betamouse #37 is a bit different this week. We stray a bit from the Disney theme and move into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Henry and Katie discuss their likes and dislikes with The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando.
So lean forward, put your face in the pensieve and enjoy the show!
Today — again — we’re talking NextGen, and this time, a souped-up version of Disney’s PhotoPass.
This week the Panel discusses-
- Enhanced Disney Captured moments – videos and photos of your experiences on attractions and character interactions
- Special Effect pictures and videos – HD or Slow motion video captures of you on attractions; 3D-photos and videos of your family while touring the parks
- Story Builder – Your memories and vacation experiences of you and your family built into a story book.
- Instant sharing of your photos and videos across social networks
- Digital memories including paper crafts, digital pins and virtual badges.
We have the pleasure of talking to two excellent Disney photographers today. Cory Disbrow is the co-founder of wdwphotography.com and is an active Flickr user. Tom Bricker is known as wdwfigment on various Disney forums and is the newly appointed Chief Photo Dude for TouringPlans.com (yes, more shameless-ness!)
