Magic shots

[sheila14]

can anyone tell me what the different magic shots are?? I just came back from vacation and it seemed that Tinker Bell is in many of my pictures. I would like to be able to know what is out there so I can ask for something different. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Tink is pretty common, but there are others. We had one with Timon, Pumba, and Simba on the ground in front of us and one with Chip from Beauty and the Beast in my hand on our trip last week. We never asked for any of the magic shots, the photographers simply told us what to and then they were on our account in their finished form...it's an awesome surprise! We also had a few surprise shots show up when we looked at our photos. We discovered pictures where we were "photo bombed" by Elsa, Sven, and Baymax! On prior trips we have had Stitch and balloons. I will post some of our shots from last week so you can see what they look like!

Oh, and dancing with Olaf in magic kingdom
Mike Wazowski in Hollywood studios
there's also the magic videos...lumieare, tink, Sully
Elsa's frozen magic out of your hand (I think we got this one in Hollywood Studios)
Chip in Hollywood Studios
Timon, Simba, Pumba in Animal Kingdom
Fairy Wings (we got this in the grassy area out front of the castle in the magic kingdom)
Stitch in the ground (Us pointing at him)
Stitch eating ice cream sitting near us

Just make sure you ask the photographers...each photographer...some are able and willing to do more than others! We had one get his supervisor over to help out with a few more...

Yep, always ask the photographer.

We have done:

The "carry me away" balloons in front of the castle
Olaf (near a park bench right in front of the castle)
Stitch (in front of the Epcot globe)

This is the best site I've found for magic shots so far. Shows them all, I think, and she still does updates, I believe.

Wow! Love the Chip magic shot. The photographer was standing where for that one? (I would like to try to get this one next month when we are there).

That was by the fountain in the France pavilion at Epcot. The photographer told me to hold my hand out so I was expecting to have Tinker Bell in my hand so it was a happy surprise when I checked the pictures that night when we got back to our room and I seen that it was Chip!!! I hope you can get it too!

Do they take regular photos in addition to the "magic" ones?

Do they take regular photos in addition to the "magic" ones?

Yes, they do. For us, they took one or two before the magic shot. One close up, and one full or 3/4 shot.

Do they take regular photos in addition to the "magic" ones?

They will take lots of regular ones! Some photographers can also only take regular ones. As far as I understand, if a photographer has a tripod for their camera that cannot do magic shots (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Keep in mind that "regular" photos may not always be normal...we had a couple of interesting poses as directed by the photographers. For example, one day I had my hair in two braids (Anna style haha) and after taking a few normal shots he insisted I hold my braids out to the sides...the pics are kind of cute, but still odd. The photo that takes the cake was taken by the sign for EE, the photographer gave us very specific instructions on how to pose...it makes me giggle every time I see it! Even though it's not a magic shot I'll attach it here so maybe someone else can interpret what the photographer was going for!!! Haha

PS- He did also take nice "normal" photos by the sign first so this wasn't all we got out this photo stop!

We found Chip in Hollywood Studios, just outside the Beauty and The Beast Live on Stage show.
