I got very lucky on this one! I set up my shot with this composition that I liked. The mickey wreath is new this year. Then the monorail came through and stopped. So shooting bulb, I took one exposure at about 6 seconds (but f11) so it was a little dark. but then the monorail started moving very slowly, so I quickly held the shutter open until it moved out of the frame. So, no with two exposures on a tripod, one slightly over, one slightly under exposed, I combined them at home using photomatix blend (not hdr). I also used nIk dfine after!

Cool! When I first saw that wreath on the HGTV special I wasnt crazy about it. But now after seeing it in person Im in love with it!
Great shot Craig! ; I think that Disney needs to hire you from now on to shoot the Contemporary. ; Even their guys can't get this stuff.
