Do Photopass Photographers mind if you ask them to take your photo with your own camera?
I've heard that they don't mind, but I thought I'd ask it here since you are a Photopass Photographer and I'd love to know your opinion on this.
Thanks!
Sorry, also meant to ask about this, quoted from the Disney site itself:
"Disney PhotoPass photographers will scan all MagicBand(s) just like a Disney PhotoPass card. You will still need to show your Disney PhotoPass+ card to receive your select Attraction and Dining photos. Attraction and Dining locations will still validate the expiration date of your Disney PhotoPass+ card before associating your photos to your Disney PhotoPass card."
This makes very little sense to me - I'm just not getting it. Why do I need a card? And where do I get it? Sounds complicated, and I don't know why I'm so dense about this!
I'm planning on doing a massive run on character photos while I'm there this weekend, since MM will still be active. I'm planning on one "normal" shot of me and the character smiling at the camera, then one "crazy" posed shot (or a few, depending on how crazy that character is that day). On the plus side, I won't have extra stuff with me, just my MM card to hand to the photographer as I walk up. I'm assuming that works well for you, because you can be working on attaching the photos as I'm walking back to you? At least that's what I saw the people doing when I was there a few weeks ago. They'd just tuck it in a pocket, take the pics, then pull it out and scan it (I've got my name on it so I make sure I don't get something odd back by mistake).
I'm really easy to spot, I have pink streaks in my hair, so if you see me, let me know.
No I don't, but please only one camera with a strap. That way I can put it around my neck or on my wrist when I use my camera. If you are with a character the attendants (the ones in the blue shirts) will help out also. However, if there is a large party I physically can't hold onto three cameras and then use mine. If there is a large group determine one camera to be "the" camera. Then you can email the photos. It's a little redundant to have a group of eight people who all want photos on their cameras/phones especially when the photos will all look the same and it's so easy to share photos.
I love the magic shot with Naveen. Is there a usual location for this one?
Also, we're going to Star Wars Weekends. We're planning to meet all the characters (not the celebs). Are there photographers for many of these characters?
Thanks so much for this thread by the way! It's exactly what I was looking for.
Do you know if the Cinderella Coach will be an option for photographs at the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party for dates in 2014? I couldn't find it at the 2013 party. If so, do you know where it will be stationed?
Are the meal photos from Tusker House or Ohana included in the Memory Maker?
Yes.
So we purchased memory maker together with our hotel reservation, problem is DH is the primary guest but the MDE account is under my name. DH does not have his own account. So both of us can scan our bands for attraction and normal photos? And I read we need to change the MM entitlement to my name as it needs to be the same as the MDE account owner? How do I do that? Thanks!!
