Aloha, Michele! Some of our favorite photos, and even holiday card pictures, have been taken with our Disney friends at restaurants such as Tusker House Restaurant in Disney's Animal Kingdom Park and Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot. You will find one of Disney’s PhotoPass photographers at ‘Ohana's Best Friends Breakfast at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The photographers are usually stationed outside of the restaurant with a beautifully themed backdrop. However, the photographers will not be inside the restaurant. If you would like pictures of sneaky Stitch's antics, you will need to bring your own camera into the restaurant. There should be a Cast Member escorting each character while greeting diners, and they sometimes will be able to take a family picture for you with your camera.
You will receive digital picture files of the group picture you take with Disney's PhotoPass photographer as part of the Memory Maker package, which you can print out at home by your favorite neighborhood printing service. If you do decide to go with Memory Maker, be sure your purchase and park ticket or MagicBand are linked to your My Disney Experience account. When a PhotoPass photographer takes your picture, they will scan your ticket/MagicBand, which will link the picture to your Memory Maker.
If you would like to take advantage of the
great advanced purchase price of Memory Maker, then you must complete your purchase three days before you take your first PhotoPass picture. If you are late for this very important date, then any PhotoPass pictures taken within three days of the purchase will not be included in your Memory Maker entitlement and will need to be purchased separately.
I hope you have a magical vacation, Michele! Please let us know if you have any further questions as you continue to plan your trip.
