Great pictures, Dizneydaz! I really love the picture of your daughter with Santa - the one in color, in which he has his arm around her. That's adorable. She is a very photogenic young lady!
The 'Stitch popping out of the present' picture was actually from 2008 (remember, I was the only one from the DIS who seemed to have gotten it, for some odd reason??
)! They were no longer doing that PhotoPass pose as of 2009 because the Christmas tree was moved to a different spot and for whatever reason it didn't work as well or they were not allowed to do it. It was only this current (about to end) holiday season that they brought the photo op back, from what the photographer I was chatting with told me.
Although, to be honest, I liked the old 2008 location for the Stitch/present picture better. This current one does not allow the photographer to get as close up, for some reason, and when I was looking at my PhotoPass pictures from my trip a few weeks ago I realized I liked the closer vantage point of the 2008 version of the Stitch picture much better than the version I got in 2011. Oh well, what can you do? I guess it's better that they have the photo op than to not have it at all.
I can only hope that DLR comes up with some nifty new PhotoPass poses, locations and magic shots once DCA's work is totally finished later this year.
Oh! And I love love love the fact that PhotoPass is now giving us the 'bonus' stock Disney character photos on our CD's! That was a delightful surprise to me (maybe I missed some discussion on it?) when I went on to view my photos. It only increases the value of the CD all the more. I especially love the pictures around the Partners statue, and the one of Mickey and Minnie by the train.
