Booking Your Hotel for Disneyland on Priceline

[TakeFiveProduction]

Hey guys! Hope you're doing good on your trip! I had a request but it's not for the park. I'm a HUGE fan of the Disneyland news and Park Point videos. Just thought I would throw that out there! :D

@TakeFiveProduction I like doing those videos too, because I get to use my green screen :-).

@AMouseAndADream ... I wish I had a green screen... :D lol

[AMouseAndADream]

@TakeFiveProduction I just got my "real" green screen about a week and a half ago. It's 10'x20' (so it's rather large) and comes with a stand to hold it that's 8.5' tall. I got it from Amazon for $100 with free shipping. But prior to that, I used a homemade green screen, which was just 9 pieces of lime green poster board ($0.69 each) pinned to the wall. That's what all of the park point and news videos are using. The only video using the new green screen so far is the most recent request video.

@AMouseAndADream NICE!

[AMouseAndADream]

@TakeFiveProduction Right, so you can make your own for like five bucks :-).

[TakeFiveProduction]

@AMouseAndADream So are you guys at the park right now?

[AMouseAndADream]

@TakeFiveProduction We were earlier.. we actually just got home like 15 minutes ago. This was the first time we took video in the park and then produced and uploaded it while on vacation. In the past, we've always just collected everything and produced/uploaded it at home, and we're still doing that with most of the footage we took, but the two most recent videos were produced/uploaded from our hotel room, and that's a first for us.

@AMouseAndADream AWESOME! Keep it coming!

[AMouseAndADream]

@TakeFiveProduction I've got another one I'm working on at the moment, will hopefully have it uploaded tonight. On May 27th, Disneyland is opening a new parade. They'll be airing commercials to promote the parade. They filmed the commercial yesterday while we were there, so I got footage of the commercial takes, which includes a sneak peak at the new parade.

@AMouseAndADream :D Dang! I'll be there 6 days before you guys! :/

The last time we booked a trip we went through Costco.com and got an Amazing deal.

[AMouseAndADream]

@Glitermagic Nice! We're Costco members also, but never even considered this. Will need to take a look next time.

Priceline is by far the best. i tried to use Expedia for our last Disney Land Trip and they lied about the price and would not release the money until i yelled at several supervisors for two hours. With Priceline iv got great deals for the Sheraton and courtyard Marriot in Anaheim.

were are u staying for your next trip

[AMouseAndADream]

@tinkdisneygirl We're staying at the Doubletree Hotel, the one that gives out warm chocolate chip cookies at check-in.. mmmmm.... :-)

I myself am more of a fan of Travelocity I have gotten some pretty good deals from there

[AMouseAndADream]

@lilkittychan That works out well too.. we've booked quite a bit through there as well as Expedia.

@AMouseAndADream Ya, I am actually going to tokyo disney in two days :) the only things i used to book is Travelocity, hotels.com and AAA (travel agent) maybe ill give priceline and expidea a try some time.

[TakeFiveProduction]

2 videos in 4 days! I am HAPPY!

[AMouseAndADream]

@TheSpeedReviews Will do!

[AMouseAndADream]

@TheSpeedReviews Thanks! It was my first time using the screen capture software to record my screen. It puts the video file out as Ogg Theora format (which my editing software doesn't care for). I'd spent several hours on trial-and-error getting the file into an AVI container that the video editing software would recognize.. glad I finally got it rendered properly :-).
