Whether it is your first or fifteenth trip to Disney World, PhotoPass<\/a> and Memory Maker<\/a> are great opportunities to capture moments and memories that you just can\u2019t get when you are the one behind the camera lens.\u00a0 The Memory Maker package is an add-on to any vacation that my family and I feel is worth its weight in gold.\u00a0 Vacationers can pre-purchase Memory Maker before their trip and save some money.\u00a0 It can also be added on during or after your vacation as well.\u00a0 The Memory Maker package gives you access to all the PhotoPass photos taken during the length of your stay.<\/p>\n

We have found that if we pre-purchase Memory Maker, not only does it save us some money, but we go out of our way to seek out opportunities during our vacation to get as many photos taken as possible.\u00a0 Many of our favorite family pictures were taken by PhotoPass photographers.\u00a0 Memory Maker and PhotoPass photos let our entire family be in the photo, rather than one of us being on the opposite side of the camera.<\/p>\n

So what kinds of photos can you expect with PhotoPass?\u00a0 You can expect quality photos that are taken by trained professionals in the parks and around Disney property.\u00a0 Let\u2019s look at some of the \u201cdo not miss\u201d experiences and memories that PhotoPass can capture.<\/p>\n

The Park Icons<\/u><\/p>\n

If nothing else, you need to walk away with PhotoPass photos in front of the park icons.\u00a0 These include Cinderella\u2019s Castle in Magic Kingdom, Spaceship Earth in Epcot, the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom, and the Chinese Theatre that houses the Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studios.\u00a0 Photographers are easy to find in all of these locations.\u00a0 There is almost always more than one and you can usually get varying angles and perspectives from the different photographers in these areas.\u00a0 Getting a picture in front of Cinderella\u2019s Castle from different spots along Main Street USA can render all sorts of varying details.\u00a0 Stop for more than one!<\/p>\n

Park Entrances<\/u><\/p>\n

Your PhotoPass opportunities can start before you even swipe that MagicBand for the day!\u00a0 There are often times photographers at the park entrances.\u00a0 You can get some beautiful photos with the title of the park or an icon in the distant background.<\/p>\n

Dining Experiences<\/u><\/p>\n

Some dining experiences, like Chef Mickey\u2019s or Cinderella\u2019s Royal Table, have PhotoPass photographers on site to capture your interactions with the characters during meet and greet times or upon entry into the restaurant.\u00a0 Not all character meals have PhotoPass photographers.\u00a0 You will need to do a little research to find out which restaurants have photographers before you dine.<\/p>\n

\"Chef<\/p>\n

Character Meet and Greets<\/u><\/p>\n

PhotoPass photographers are located at almost all character meet and greet locations and will capture some wonderful candid shots as well as posed shots.\u00a0 This is especially helpful for parents with children.\u00a0 The parent can fully focus their attention on the character interaction and their child\u2019s experience rather than looking through a lens or screen the entire time.\u00a0 The adults can easily jump into the photos as well.<\/p>\n

Ride Entrances and Exits<\/u><\/p>\n

You can find PhotoPass photographers at some of the ride entrances and exits.\u00a0 The ride queues have some magnificent themes and make for beautiful backgrounds.\u00a0 Just be sure that your hair is back in place if you are exiting!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

\"Big<\/p>\n

Magic Shots<\/u><\/p>\n

Magic shots are amazing!\u00a0 The PhotoPass photographer will pose you in a certain way that, at the time, seems silly and doesn\u2019t make sense.\u00a0 But later, when you view your photos, all sorts of special surprises will be a part of your photo.\u00a0 These can include pop up characters, balloons, etc.<\/p>\n

On Ride Photos<\/u><\/p>\n

I will be the first to admit it.\u00a0 On ride photos are seldom flattering.\u00a0 However, what I do love about on ride photos is that they capture a feeling that you don\u2019t find anywhere else.\u00a0 When I look back at our on ride photos, I get to relive that feeling all over again.\u00a0 People get very creative with their poses for on ride photos.\u00a0 There are lots of great ones out there!<\/p>\n

My family and I have pre-purchased Memory Maker before every Disney World vacation and I have never once regretted it.\u00a0 The photos that we have are priceless and capture the pure joy we experience on vacation and the immense love we have for each other.\u00a0 Snag that Memory Maker option before your next trip, watch for those PhotoPass photographers everywhere you go, stop frequently for photos, and be sure to smile and say MICKEY!<\/p>\n
