Can I see your most recent PhotoPass/Memory maker with Masks on?

[bcinohio]

I use my pictures to scrapbook. This is a year to remember.

I think these are great! They're capturing a moment in time we will never forget! Thanks to all who have shared their pics!

Personally, this is one more reason we won't be back until this is all a bad memory. We love the benefit of photopass, but pictures with masks on just don't work for me and for my family. Someone said, "You can totally tell we're smiling." Well, I don't know you or what you look like without the mask so no, I can't tell. I'm glad you know and that it works for you, but we'll wait it out and hope for maskless park days in the future.

Clearly you are entitled to have your own opinion. But when someone smiles sincerely, their eyes smile too.

I will say we go once a year and I like memories from each trip. This year, the masks were part of that so I wanted to make sure we had those too. Will I hang them on my wall or put them on my desk at work? No. But we will still have our photo book and the memories to look back at.

I haven't noticed any different or extra magic shots than what they've done before or been doing. The CMs are there reminding people to wear their masks so no taking it off for your own pictures.

Anyone have their mask blacked out in their ride pictures? My friend last weekend wore a simple mask that said PACKERS (yeah maybe that was the problem playing Tampa that day ) in big block letters & their masks had black bars across them in the ride pictures. We laughed, but I didn't know if anyone else has had that happen?

Why can I not add a photopass photo?
I keep getting "you don't have permission to open this file. Contact the file owner."
I have sent some to people, uploaded them to a photo site and that all could be done

This story isn't totally the same, but...

My youngest son's mask fell down on Dinosaur. His mask was a little looser that day. I was sitting behind him, so I didn't see it. When we returned, the CM reminded him to pull his mask up.

Coincidently, that ride photo never showed up in our pictures. When we told DS, he was upset (and thought we were upset with him). We were NOT upset with him. He's a kid and he didn't mean for it to happen.

Obviously true, but again if someone else doesn't know that person how do you know if their squinting from the sun or from smiling or is just that they have squinty eyes? Like I said before, if it works for you (and apparently it does for quite a few people) great. It's simply not how I want to experience or remember my Disney vacation.

I said nothing about squinting.

There's a reason they say the eyes are the window to the soul.

You also don't have to smile with your mouth to smile with your eyes.

But you have to do what works best for you.

Are the photographers doing anything different or special since they can't really "see your smile"? Thanks!

If you're genuinely smiling, it will show in your eyes.

Tell me you're a pessimist without telling me you're a pessimist.

I'm not sure what being optimistic or pessimistic has to do with the situation TBH. I'm usually a bit of both. I'm optimistic that this pandemic will come to an end, but I'm pessimistic about whether we'll ever see normal again. My point was, I'm no fan of mask photos and won't buy photopass as long as that's a requirement. Of course, I'm also probably not going back to WDW as long as masks are required, at least in outdoor spaces.

I think the PP really went out of their way to try to make some fun shots

I love the shot with Grogu! Where is that one taken. (I'm assuming in Star Wars, but we haven't been since it opened. Where in particular is that shot?) Thanks.

Years from now, this will be an important part of our history. I'm glad I will have some pictures to show grandkids someday. I have been wearing sweatpants for 9 months and haven't had a photo op!

I wish I could remember where exactly this was taken but I get lost and completely turned around in GE so that I end up walking in circles! I do remember it being around a corner and kind of out of the way. I’m sorry I can’t explain it better! I’m sure one of the PPs would be able to point you in the right direction

I’m not sure you had much to add to this particular discussion, other than to come in here with your negativity. If you don’t like the pictures with the masks, that’s fine, but no need to announce it here. The OP wasn’t asking for opinions about pictures with masks, she wanted to see some pictures in masks to decide for herself.

The wall along the path leading out to Toy Story land when leaving Galaxy's Edge on the right side (or if you enter GE from Toy Story Land the wall area will be immediately to your leftside). There's a photographer & you say you're looking for the child. Or if you ask another photographer or CM in the Star Wars area where the child is they will help direct you. I did it in August so not sure if it has relocated?

I guess I thought that this was a discussion forum. Apparently, it's not. I'll make note.

So glad I found this thread. I was on the fence about Memory Maker (which I always buy) and will again this year. I make digital photo albums for every trip. I will also seek out those magic shots!

I find smiling under the masks helps with smizing. Wearing cute masks help too.

I had custom masks made. They are two sided (so double layer), Disney print / Star Wars print / Animal print / silver (Epcot) print. I also make my own "ears", so my ears and my masks will match!
