We had a reservation earlier this week and I was surprised when we went to take our photo and there was no Donald....Why on Earth would I pay $35 for a photopass photo with no characters in it?

I also had Tusker House for breakfast earlier this week, and I too thought that was really odd... Not that is wasn't a nice photo (the photopass photographers really do take fabulous photos), but I didn't really want to pay $35 for a bunch of the same picture... Especially a picture that wasn't even in front of anything special or with a character! I do kind of wish I had memory maker so I could've gotten the digital download.
1) They ran a "trial" and had Donald inside instead of outside.
2) People liked it.
3) Now it looks like Donald will remain inside and wandering around.
NOTE: People could always use their own camera, even outside, so that
is/was not a concern regarding the inside/outside decision.
We look forward to getting the Tusker House pic with Donald on every trip. I guess this trip we will not have one - at least not with the same background. It has been nice to see how the kids look different on every trip with the same background and character.
I was able to add the photo to my memory maker package. They brought a printed copy to our table and asked if I wanted to buy it. I asked if I could add it memory maker instead and they did. But it was just a regular photo of the three of us. Same thing I could get outside in the parks. I also don't see why they don't just bring like an ipad around showing you the photo before printing them. Seemed like a waste.
They've surely tested and figured out they get more sales and net more $ if they've printed then out. There is a psychological aspect of the tangible item.
