Hiya Christa!
My favorite souvenir from every single Disneyland Resort trip is always my photos. Let's make sure you are ready to capture all the core memories coming your way!
I like to purchase
Lighting Lane Multi Pass to maximize my time in the parks...and it comes with unlimited digital downloads of all your attraction photos and Disney PhotoPass Photographer images that day! If you are using Lighting Lane Multi Pass then your photos are automatically included, you just need to link them to the
Disneyland Mobile App. Disney PhotoPass Lenses are also magically added to your mobile device when you're using Lightning Lane Multi Pass and they are a total blast. Some only work in specific areas of the park, so check the app when you're in unique spots!
If you won't be using Lightning Lanes you might want to purchase
Disney PhotoPass+ One Week, which lets you download all of your photos in a week for one price (at the moment it's $78, prices are subject to change). You can also purchase individual downloads of photos through the
Disney PhotoPass website.Just this morning I was scrolling back through photos of my Disney adventures in 2024. Family and friends, DOLE Whip floats, warm hugs...it's almost like being there! Having those special pictures at our fingertips really is a huge gift, and there are
many photographers throughout the parks ready to help you catch the perfect photo. Some of my best pictures are from Disney PhotoPass photographers, I am so grateful for their talent and enthusiasm. They're always so kind, I hope you will
leave a cast compliment in the app if you meet someone awesome!
When I was little we used to watch a video of Disney Sing Along Songs from Disneyland Park. One of the songs was "Makin' Memories" which was written by the iconic Sherman brothers. Whenever I'm taking pictures in the parks I think of their words:
Making memories, making memories
Taking pictures is making memories
Catching little pieces of time
Making 'em yours, making 'em mine
Great vacations and celebrations
Can fade away in a year
But when we're making memories
Happy days are always here!
Seasons change, kids grow, and new dreams come our way. Our photos remind us how much fun we've had and help us get excited for the next adventure! I hope you'll make many wonderful memories in the parks, Christa!
Keep moving forward!
