Great photos!! When you got the photo taken in the fountain, was it a candid shots or planned? If it was candid did the photographer just randomly take it?

It was kind of random. Sadly, that photographer got a talking to, as he had posed the kids standing on the wall . .. not a smart move on his part. I did talk to the supervisor afterwards, and suggested that he go easy on the young photographer, as I had been right there, and allowed it.

At any rate, it was a young Photopass Photographer that happened to be in the area, and just randomly started taking pictures of my kids, after seeing my son kind of chasing the water. He then posed them on the wall, and I kind of knew what was coming. The guy timed that photo perfect, and with a fast enough exposure to stop the water in mid air. It really is a great photo, from a young man whom obviously knew how to use the camera. It is one of my all time favorite Photopass Photos!

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

We love Memory Maker! I know it isn't cheap, but we find it to be totally worth it!
It also ensures that my husband, who is the family photographer, is actually in a lot of photos!

We LOVE MM!! I usually am the photo taker, so it's nice to actually be in all of our pictures when we go to Disney. The magic shots are so much fun and it's also great to have all of our ride photos. On our last trip, my daughter wore a really beautiful dress that was made on Etsy for her of the Cinderella dress from the live action movie. One of the park photographers actually came up to her and asked if she could do a photo shoot with her. She took photos by the castle, all around it and then took her into BBB inside the castle and took pictures of her there......all on our MM!! It was such a magical moment for my daughter.
