Sadly, it's clear throughout the entire labyrinth that it needs some maintenance. The labyrinth itself was fine to wander around in, and we had initially really looked forward to going up on the castle also, And sadly it didn't really stop them from doing it either. There were CMs broadcasting at people that they had to stop putting their children on top of the turrets of the castle, that was a first. Yes that's right, I spend more on 120mm (medium format) film for the thing than what I spent on the actual camera.īut clearly I have to remember to change the settings from time to time, oops! The sprocket rocket still didn't want to cooperate X_xīut my Agfa Isola 1 did :) It's a vintage camera from the 1950s that I bought in perfect working order at the local thrift store. We did get to go in immediately with my disability pass, and we spent some time taking photos and wandering around.Ĭonsidering I was disneybounding the Cheshire Cat, the Labyrinth was the perfect spot for another outfit shot :)Ĭheshire Cat brooch on cardigan: Chocomint I sure wish I had stuck to my gut feeling!Īlice's Curious Labyrinth had a massive queue outside of it, but when we peered in over the hedges it didn't seem overly busy, clearly the CMs were doing a great job of crowd control :) Tip: if you don't get an instant "I can trust you with my camera vibe", do NOT hand it over. Thankfully the broken lens was a kit lens, which I have twice, so I could just put the other one on when I got home, but I'm still very much pissed off about it. We did consider going to make a point out of it, but we both realised there was no way to prove that the CM fucked up my lens by twisting it like a mad loon, and that DLP would just fob us off so I settled for writing a letter of complaint afterwards (which I did, and of course I've yet to receive a reply, and I doubt I ever will). So for the rest of my trip, I just did the best I could with a busted lens. Initially we thought it was just the light, but when we checked it out later, it turned out that it was proper fubarred. It would freeze on the closest and furthest point and act up for everything else. Bert couldn't get a proper photo of Mickey and me because the lens acted up. I heard this omnious soft cracking noise to which I cringed, asked my camera back, and then it was my turn, so I didn't have time to scold the dudebro. And he starts snapping photos of Bert, not turning the lens but WRENCHING the lens. But against my better judgement (very much so because the lens had been a bit troublesome and needed to be taken off and set back on so it could properly reconnect) I handed it over. He wanted to see my camera, which I wasn't keen on because of the way he approached us (right in your personal space and just too much in your face). It was one of those guys that thinks he's the coolest and funniest ever. She took us to another wait area, and that CM, well he deserves a slap. The CM that let us in was super cheerful and also complimented us on our outfits, and said she'd love to go and dress up for Dapper Day too :) I had wanted to see the location (because several friends told me it's amazing), but seeing the queue was quite long I decided to see at least a bit of it via the disability entrance. We decided that we were going to go into Alice's Curious Labyrinth next, and on the way we passed by Meet Mickey Mouse. My post was so long I had to actually go and split it in two!
