The Disneyland Picture Quest - by makerofquests

This quest can be done by anybody as long as they have a good eye and a bit of knowlege about the location of major (and not so major) landmarks throughout Disneyland park.

Items necessary: Admission to Disneyland park; an ipod or some other item which will download pictures, keep them in alphabetical order, and allow you to go through them at any time.

Description: This quest will challenge your knowlege of Disneyland park, as well as your ability to find symbols of the park, and your patience. Your goal is to find the location 68 pictures were taken at. The main items in the pictures are hidden all through the park, and you must locate them all. None of them requires you to go into a line or on a ride. I was very methodical in my picture taking, so you should be able to pick up a hint at the next location by seeing where the one before it was, or perhaps, by finding where the next item is; thus making an area where it must be hidden. The Quest starts at the Main Entrance.

I have uploaded the pictures to Picasa. If you have not downloaded Picasa, it is a free program Google offers. If you have a google account, go to "my account." There, you should be able to find the "try new stuff button" click it, and you should be able to find Picasa; download it. Then, click the web link below. This will lead you directly to the album with the 68 pictures. Try not to look at them, but click "download" at the top of the screen. Then, click "Download to Picasa" Then, create a new folder on your desktop. By then, the album should have appeared on Picasa. After selecting the new folder, click on the "export" button on the bottom folder. Browse to find the folder you want to send the pictures to, and then click "Ok"

In case you are unable to complete the steps above, I have split the pictures up into 6 different emails. Send me an email at makerofquests@gmail.com with the subject "The Disneyland Picture Quest" along with a request for the pictures of the quest. I will then send you six emails, each with about 12 pictures you can download to a folder. They will have the subject "Disneyland Quest Email" along with the number email it is. It could take 48 hours or more to recieve your photos, so please, for your and my convenience, use Picasa.

Either way, you have then to open itunes (assuming you are using an ipod), attach your ipod, and go to sync photos. Sync it to the folder the pictures are saved to. Be sure not to change the name of the pictures, for that will mess up the order. Once the pictures are on the ipod, be sure to look at the settings to make sure they are not on shuffle. Enjoy!
