Hi Bonnie,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! My family has finally gotten used to my obsession with finding new-to-us
Disney PhotoPass Photos. The photographers at Disney PhotoPass are so clever and offer some truly magical backgrounds.
If you open your
My Disney Experience app on your smartphone, tap on the map. At the top of the map, there is a menu. The menu typically opens to "Wait Times" and there is a down arrow to the right. If you click on the down arrow a list of categories will appear. Select "PhotoPass" and the locations of PhotoPass photographers will show up on the map. Hopefully, you will find several spots to capture precious memories of your Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
You also mentioned
Memory Maker in your question. I highly recommend Memory Maker particularly if you have time to purchase it in advance to save a bit of money. I have so many treasured memories captured in photos that I have been able to download and share with Memory Maker.
If you're planning to visit
Disney Springs, I have to recommend stopping by the
Disney PhotoPass Studio. They have an absurd number of backdrops they can use along with props to create memorable photos. I visited the Disney PhotoPass Studio with a group of friends and we took some amazing photographs.
The fine folks at Disney PhotoPass recently announced
Capture Your Moment available at Magic Kingdom Park. You can call ahead and reserve 20 minutes with a Disney PhotoPass Photographer inside Magic Kingdom Park for $50.00. Park admission is required and not included. If you have purchased Memory Maker, the photos taken during the Capture Your Moment session will be included. Prices are always subject to change but I think this is a fantastic and reasonably priced way to get some great photos of your party at
Magic Kingdom Park. I'm already thinking ahead to our next Christmas Card!
Bonnie, thank you for visiting us with your question. I hope you will let us know if we can help you with any other planning questions.
Wishing you a magical and memorable vacation,
Amy H.
