Hi Dawn!
Thanks for your question and for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Disney's PhotoPass Service is such a great product available to all visiting guests! Obviously today's phones, and certainly cameras, capture the Magic pretty well. But if there is even just that one 'special shot" or location that you want to turn into the family Christmas card or blow up into a poster for the family room, then using a Disney PhotoPass photographer is the way to go.
You have two choices here. First, you can purchase (or even pre-purchase at a $30 discount) the
Memory Maker product. It entitles you to unlimited digital downloads of photos taken during your trip. You are then free to print and share as much as you want. There is also the option to simply have the PhotoPass photographer scan your
MagicBand after each photo is taken and view the photos either during or after your trip. Photos are available for purchase and you can buy one, all or none of the photos posted in your account. That's the beauty of this service. You only pay for what you want.
I hope this helps and I wish you a Magical and photogenic trip!!
Chris
