We are going next week and have purchased Memory Maker. What are some good Magic Shots to ask for?

When we were there in April, they wouldn't let us "request" who it would be. They just had us do something, and then we found out who it was when we looked on MDE app!

Do you have to specificaly ask for a Magic Shot? We look to have missed out on a fair few on the last trip and just wonder if you need to ask or the photographer just decides who to give them to if not asked for?

I've had a few times where the photographer will do it for us, if there isn't a line. But most times we've had to ask.

Last trip, I got to Hollywood Studios very early (6:10). They let us through the tapstiles up to the next point at 6:15, but when they opened the park to Toy Story Land at 6:30 (!), I stayed behind to enjoy the nearly empty park (I had a later FP at Slinky Dog).

I asked a photographer at the corner of Hollywood and Sunset to take my picture by the fountain. She chatted with me about how she had nothing to do, with everyone moving up to TSL. Then she told me to sit facing one way and then the other--I now have one picture of me with Mickey and one with Minnie. So cute!

But my overall experience has been that of PPs: sometimes I have had to ask, especially if there's one I know I want, and fewer times the photographer has done it on his or her own. It's best to have the ones you really want in mind and ask for them, rather than leave it to chance.

As a PP said, most of the time you have to ask. Occasionally you get a photographer that does it on their own.. The one year we asked practically every photographer and got the SAME Magic Shot everytime no matter where we were.

When we were there in April, the photographers did the magic shots without being asked. We never knew what was going to be added until we saw the pictures. Some were pretty obvious though.

Thanks all for that , rule of thumb then best to ask each time!
