Just came back from Disney and used the photo pass. A lot of the times, we were rushed through the pictures. Looking at them no one is smiling at the same time, weird faces, arm positions, trying to set up for the picture. The quality of the shots wasn’t the same as last year.
The ONLY place that we got any magic shots was AK. The photographers actually offered them without being asked. Once I realized that I needed to ask for the magic shots (last year didn’t need to ask, they were just done) the photographers seemed annoyed that we were asking and this was towards the end of our trip.
Some of the photographers seemed to really enjoy their jobs. Gilbert from Chicago in AK was awesome. Others seemed either disinterested, cameras down while talking to the handler, or ok 1,2,3 next.
Oh and we did the tinker bell with the photo box and got 78 photos. Some were nice, some ok. But what was funny is that I was sitting on the floor off to the side taking pictures and the box kept including me in the pictures.
But no one corrected this during the interaction.
