Memory Maker

Have you ever wondered if the Memory Maker at Walt Disney World is worth the cost, or whether there are enough opportunities to take photographs in the parks? Well I can tell you the answer to those questions in my opinion is: YES!

Currently with all UK holidays bought through the Walt Disney World site, the Memory Maker package comes free. We visited in November 2016 and this was the case then too. However, I believe it is around $149 when bought in advance online. We wondered how many photographers were around the parks as I have been before and at different times of the year they appear in different locations. When we visited in November there were lots of opportunities for photos. As well as the photographers there are also ride photos and even in some cases, ride videos. Tower of Terror and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train are the two attractions that currently have ride videos. It is very fun to go on rides more than once and figure out where the camera is for some hilarious posed photos such as above and below.

But I think that my favourite photos were the ones with the characters. Character meet and greets were so funny and the photos reflect that. Any of the permanent locations had a photopass photographer with them, which meant there were lots of options. Here are some of my favourites.

I also really enjoyed the magic shots. Magic shots are photographs which are posed in a particular way and then an added bit of "magic" appears in the photograph later. It's always fun watching the photographer pose people while trying to guess what may be added to the photograph! Here are my favourite magic shots!

Therefore, in my opinion the Memory Maker is most definitely worth it. It managed to get photographs that we wouldn't normally have been able to capture and meant that I didn't have to spend my days walking around with a camera. I really enjoy looking back at all of the captures. We were there for 13 nights but only spent about 10 of them in Disney World, and we managed to rack up over 950 photos! I would 100% recommend it to families or groups of friends.
