It really depends on your family. I have an AP so it comes with it and in 5 years of having it, we have used it once. Back in the old days when my son was young (when we had to walk everywhere in the snow up hill both ways) we just took a camera and took our own pictures if we wanted them. I don't like having my picture taken so it was fine with me to not be in the pictures. Later on we would get a picture taken in front of the hat at MGM (not there any more) every trip and and I would buy that one picture. I think one year we were there at my birthday and we did get a picture taken at YC with us holding balloons and I bought that one. There are normally lines, I'm not standing in line to get my picture taken and now that my son is grown he doesn't like having his picture taken either. So, for us, no it's not worth it since it's free and we still don't use it
