The Details Behind the Window Seat Photos

I had a great idea on the way down to Orlando for MouseFest, which you can read about in my first ‘Window Seat” photo. Basically, I want to try posting photos and comments about our trip and MouseFest in REAL TIME. So I see it, I snap a photo of it on my iPhone, and I post it here thanks to some web magic I learned recently. There’s a tiny delay of 5 minutes, give or take a few, but it’s pretty darn near instant.

Feel free to leave comments on what the photos and reports. If you ask questions, please give me some time to reply. Remember, I’m IN Florida right now and not at a computer except for a short while in the evenings. All of these reports are written “in the field” from my iPhone.

Please note that the first two photos from the plane weren’t posted in real-time — they are photos/comments I made earlier when I got the idea, but it wasn’t until I got to the hotel that I could set all this up and start reporting. The third report — and everything that comes after — was done in real time. The only exceptions may be when I’m somewhere without cell phone or WiFi access (or a place that I need to have such things turned off). I’m not positive I’ll be able to do this while onboard the Disney Wonder, but I will if I can. If I cannot, I’ll create entries and post them all when I get back on dry land.

Personally, I’m totally excited about this! It’s so cool I can actually do this. We’ll see how it goes.

Thanks for coming along with me in a “window seat!”

The only thing better than reading your trip reports and seeing your pictures would be to be there with you all! Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Thanks for the great photos. Even though I am here, your pics allow me to see some of the things I can’t make it to, or that I am in the middle of enjoying and not really “seeing”

Thanks Jennifer

It was great reading/viewing your recap and remembering all the events of Mousefest! When you used your iPhone to post from the cruise, did you need to pay their WiFi internet costs? Or your provider’s cruise ship access fees? I tried to keep in touch with people on the cruise, but wound up frantically trying to accomplish everything in like 8 minutes/day because I was too cheap to buy more time.

Yes, I paid their WiFi Internet costs — we always buy the maximum package when we cruise because it’s essential that we check e-mail and our site at least daily.
