Night photos

[robinkay6573]

I got to WDW a couple times a year. I purchased a new digital camera last December. My SLR is great but takes tarrible night photos even with high speed film and a tripod. My digital camera is a P&S Kodak DX7530 and had Image stablization, here are a couple of photos using the exact same settings...obvious the second photo is better and even looks great enlarged in a 8x10...what happened with the first one why is it so grainy?

Thanks!!
