I was wondering how many of you videotape your vacations. And if you do, do you enjoy it?

For each trip, I'll usually record at least three or four tapes worth of video. I'll record the packing before we leave, the morning ride to the airport, even inside the airport. I'll record walks through sections of the park, taking a panaramic view of the aurroundings. I'll record entire rides (where permitted), such as Kilimanjaro Safari and Jungle Cruise. And when we return, I'll edit it on the computer, adding effects, and burn a DVD. Then, one night, we'll have movie night and re-live the entire trip. It's a great tradition.

But the thing is: when I'm recording, I'm actually missing much of the enjoyment. You can't fully take in the beauty of the parks, looking at them through a camera screen. If I'm focused on making a nice video for my family, I'm missing the real impact of being in Disney as it's happening. It's a double-edged sword.

What do you think?
