Well hiya Jennifer and welcome to planDisney!
It looks like you've got a coast-to-coast Disney adventure in the works for the start of 2024 and having just completed one of those trips myself with my husband, I'm happy to let you know what our experience was like making sure we got the snapshots we sought as we ventured from
Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando to
Disneyland Resort in Anaheim and back again!
Since we often travel as just the two of us,
purchasing Memory Maker was a no-brainer when it came to taking advantage of these
Disney PhotoPass opportunities around the Theme Parks to capture our memories and the various outfits we wear. There's nothing like being able to scroll through the images soon afterward on the
My Disney Experience App to download them easily, ready to share online. When we flew over to visit Disneyland Resort last week, we learned that our Memory Maker purchase was unfortunately only valid for when we're at Walt Disney World Resort.
It's important to note that there is
a separate Disney PhotoPass website for Disneyland Resort with its own offerings like
Disney PhotoPass+ One Week, which is another separate purchase from Memory Maker. We found that purchasing
Disney Genie+ Service for our visit was the best way to be able to receive our photos ready with unlimited downloads on the
Disneyland App and also take advantage of
Lightning Lane entrances to make the most of each day!
Disney PhotoPass photographers are normally quite pleasant to work with, but we also found that every single one that we encountered at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park were often longtime local Cast Members who were really that next level of dedication and skill that showed with their craft - in not only the extra time and care that they took, but the photos we viewed afterward. I highly recommend finding photo opportunities in similar locations, attractions and Character experiences across both coasts and replicating your pose to see some fun comparisons at each Disney destination! Hope this helped, Jennifer - don't hesitate to
come back to planDisney again for more tips or advice ahead of your adventures next year.
I hope your upcoming trips are picture-perfect!
Prince
