Advantages of the Disney Memory Maker

Disney Memory Maker is a convenient way to document your Walt Disney World vacation with photos and videos. Have access to professionally taken photos during your vacation to print them out, edit, order copies and to share!

Advantages of the Disney Memory Maker:

• Select ride photos and videos- capture your party's excitement or even fear  during certain attractions. No need to rush off the ride to see your photo or pay extra to have one printed out, it will be available in your My Disney Experience account.
• Magic Shots- the photographer will position your party in certain ways then Disney magic will add a character to your photo. Who doesn't want a photo holding Tinker Bell or being scared by Stitch. Magic Shot locations can be found here: Epcot- behind Spaceship Earth, Disney's Hollywood Studios-Hollywood Boulevard, Epcot- Norway Pavilion and Disney's Animal Kingdom- on the bridge near Expedition Everest.

• Picture quality- professional photographers equipped with digital SLRs take your photos with the perfect photo settings. No more worrying about if you need to use the flash or not or how the photo will turn out in low lighting. No asking strangers to take photos on your phone that maybe they aren't familiar with and ending up with blurry or cut off photos. Get vibrant, clear photos that are perfect for larger prints.
• Everyone is apart of the picture- no more photos with someone from your party missing or having to track down someone to take your picture. Everyone is included, every time. Want a photo of just the kids then one of everyone? Done. Disney's photographers are accommodating to your requests.

Learn All About The New "Princess Fairytale Hall" AND Enter To Win Two Lithographs!

The newest character greeting location - Disney's Princess Fairytale Hall - opened last week in New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. Here, guests can choose to meet either Cinderella and a visiting princess or Rapunzel and a visiting princess.

Here's what you need to know:

1. Where's it located? Princess Fairytale Hall is located behind the castle where Snow White's Scary Adventures used to be.
2. How does it work? Cinderella and Rapunzel each have their own line - so choose your favorite and then switch lines.
   (Hint: Word on the street is Rapunzel's line grows longer throughout the day, so visit her first!)
   
   Hot Tip! You can use FASTPASS at this attraction! Stop by the FASTPASS distribution station near Peter Pan's Flight to get your return time ticket, or use the MyDisneyExperience app.
    
3. What can you do there? Meet the princesses, get autographs and take pictures. Due to slightly lower light levels, you might be better off having the Disney photographer take some shots with the Disney PhotoPass.

Don't miss Cinderella's famous glass slipper!

Nemo's Been Found! Now Where's Mom?

Think about your family photos.

Now be honest, moms. How many of these pictures are YOU in?

I've had some phone trouble lately. So while I wait for my replacement phone to be ready, I decided to download all 1,648 photos to my computer. I couldn't believe how many pictures were on my phone!

What's even more amazing is that I'm only in a handful of these pictures. Same for the memory card on my digital camera. How could this happen? I'm pretty much the family historian. I'm the dutiful one at school plays, spring concerts and swim lessons with my camera set in my hand, ready to point and shoot. I'm the one with shoeboxes full of photos (yet to be sorted). And yet, I'm not in these pictures. Isn't that the way when we're on vacation, too? Usually the one parent wielding the camera is the one missing from most of the family photos. Am I talking about you?

Disney's PhotoPass Makes Sure Everyone Gets in the Shot

When you're on vacation, there are so many things to do, including charging your phone or camera battery. Wouldn't it be nice if you could have all your family memories captured by someone else? Wouldn't it also be nice to have the whole family in one shot - including mom!

Disney's PhotoPass+ might be a good option to consider. For a one-time fee paid in advance of your trip, all your memories can be captured and available on a CD. Now you can actually enjoy watching your child meet Mickey for the first time without fumbling for your phone, your camera or, worse, a replacement battery.

It's pretty seamless. You give the pass to the Disney photographers (and they're everywhere!), they'll snap some shots and hand the pass back to you. You can do this with character greetings, while dining, at the resorts, and even on some attractions.

In fact, if you've ever had your photo taken on rides like Splash Mountain, rather than purchase the picture right there - which can be kind of costly, you can just add it to your PhotoPass and it will appear on your CD.

This video gives a great overview of Disney's PhotoPass+

If it's something you want to consider for your next trip, just let us know. We'll work out the details so your family photographs will show something really special. Finally, they'll show the happy, smiling faces of everyone in your family.
