Hey there, Monica! We're excited that you stopped by planDisney! I recently participated in a Capture Your Moment photo session, so I'm happy to share some information to ensure your experience is "picture perfect!"
I've always been an advocate of adding
Memory Maker to any Walt Disney World vacation. The pictures taken by the PhotoPass Photographers are far and away some of the best memories we have from our many trips. However, the
Capture Your Moment photo session far surpassed our expectations! We booked our session at Magic Kingdom Park, but it is also offered at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Park,
EPCOT, and
Disney's Hollywood Studios.
These sessions can be booked online 60 days in advance (at 5:45 AM EST) and go quickly, so I recommend booking ahead of time. Each slot gives you up to 20 minutes with two PhotoPass photographers (the second photographer was there to ensure that other guests knew it was a private session). During that time, they captured over 100 images at several locations in the park. You can book more than one session if you would like, but the only way to do this is to make two separate bookings. Some families like to reserve back-to-back time slots, while others prefer a break in between for clothing changes or hair/ makeup touchups.
When you book, the appointment is good for up to 8 guests, so if your group is larger, you will need two reservations. A few days in advance, you'll receive an email with details regarding your appointment(s). Keep in mind that this experience is only offered during regular park hours; valid admission and park reservations are required and not included in the session price. Make sure to arrive at your appointment 15 minutes in advance so the photographers can discuss your priorities and whether you are celebrating anything special- they have some fun props! And the best part is that with Memory Maker, you get ALL of the photos from your private photo session downloaded into your photo library on
My Disney Experience!
I hope you have the most magical time, Monica! If there's anything else the planDisney panel can do for you, please feel free to reach out again. See ya real soon!
