I should work for Disney, me and my DD have had this very same discussion for a few years now. I love the Yankee Trader shop, but it does sell things that can be found at several other places in MK alone, not to mention a lot of places out of the park. I always had to go to the little cart and the selection is limited of course. Also the on ride photo is great. I know I'm not suppose to but I always get my camera out and try to get a pic of the ghost on our buggy, of course, I've never had an luck, but I keep hoping. I'm taking a solo trip in Nov and I just assumed that I would probably not get an photos taken or buy any, other than the tradional every trip photo with Mickey, but I will definitely have to get one on the HM.
