I did a few searches and I couldn't really find anything responsive to my specific question, so hopefully some of you might know or be able to offer some personal anecdotes here...
We almost always buy the the Memory Maker package. The $169 pre-arrival price is well worth it to us since we typically have 3-5 park days plus some resort days. HOWEVER, on this upcoming trip, we only have a single park day (for which I was going to buy the single day Memory Maker) and will otherwise have 3 resort days. When we were last there in January, on our very last day (literally as we were outside waiting on our ride to the airport), we ran into a PhotoPass photographer outside the Poly who essentially gave us our own 15 minute photo shoot. We captured some of my favorite photos of my kids and family, not just of that trip, but ever.
Is it standard to have PhotoPass photographers outside resorts? If so, which ones? I would gladly purchase the Memory Maker package this time again if we could get some great shots at the different resorts (we plan to do some hopping on our trip), or really anywhere other than the parks. But I don't want to spend $169 though if the photographer stationed outside the Poly last time was just a fluke on our last trip. The Memory Maker description on the Disney site only says "Professional photos taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers in iconic park locations and beyond." So that's not exactly helpful.
What are your experiences finding photographers at the resorts and other locations outside of the parks?
