Hi everybody!
I'm about 3 weeks away from my trip and I'm having trouble deciding if I want to get Memory Maker or not. I can fit it into my budget, but there are some things I still don't understand.
I'll be with my son, dad, and brother. None of them are too good at taking photos (neither am I, to be honest). But I'd be the default picture-taker, and I'd have hardly any decent pictures with me in them--and it's my son's first visit, so that's a concern.
I've read the forums like crazy but I'm still confused. I'm not really trying to figure out if it's worth the money, I'm just trying to figure out if it will be what I want it to be. Any help with my questions would be appreciated.
1) In general, are the lines long for photos in the parks? Does getting MM photos turn into just another thing to wait in line for?
2) We're doing Chef Mickey's, 1900 Park Fare, and Ohana breakfast. I think pictures are included at these places, but are they just photos taken outside the restaurant before the meal starts? Or are there photographers actually taking pictures in the restaurant while you're eating/meeting characters?
3) Regarding character photos in the parks: Are photographers only at the meet and greet "attractions" or is there one around if you happen to randomly meet a character around the parks? Basically, is there a photographer around every time you see a character anywhere?
4) On-ride photos: How difficult/time-consuming is it to get ride photos added to your Memory Maker account? I keep reading that you still need to link the photo at the end of the ride. Most on-ride photos will be of my dad and brother doing the wilder rides, and they'll just get annoyed if they have to wait in long lines to link the photos.
5) Are there any photographers at the resorts?
6) I know the photographers will take pictures with your own personal camera if you ask, but my camera is just a basic point and shoot. Do they use better cameras?
7) Can you view the photos in the Disney app or only on a computer? I'm concerned about photos getting lost and would like to be able to check that they're being properly loaded while we're still in WDW.
That's all I can think of (at the moment!). Thanks to anyone who can help me make this decision!
