Photo pass "must take" shots

[FoxC63]

what do you mean by "Animated Magic Shots can only be downloaded as part of an active Memory Maker entitlement." ? do I need to download them before trip is done?

NO. You need to purchase Memory Maker then after your trip you can download. I believe you can also view your photos during your vacation too.

Here's the DIS Board main thread in case you have more questions:

In my experience, the photographers don't tell you what the shot will look like (what you will be holding, etc.). They want it to be a surprise. However, as the trip went on, when I asked about doing Magic Shots, the photographers would say things like, "What have you done so far" and I honestly could not tell them. I had done many photos holding out my hands or my arm, but I had no idea what the photographer was putting in there. You might want to ask when you do them so you know some of the ones you have done and the ones you have not.

Some of my faves: holding butterflies at Epcot (on the bridge near the French Pavilion)
standing next to the hitchhiking ghost in front of the HM
Sven at the Norway Pavilion
Jiminy Cricket holding an umbrella flying into my hands at AK
Any balloon shot

near the castle, ask the photographer if they can do the magic shot with your daughter holding Tinkerbell.

There's another they can do with Pascal near Rapunzel's tower.

Where is Rapunzel's tower?

Thanks for posting. My things have changed since 2015. This sticks! I don't want a "surprise" if I'm looking for specific MS. I'll look to see what we've done in the past and add this to our itinerary before printing. Grrrr!

I think you can ask them. They just don't volunteer it. I started asking them sometimes what was going to be in the photo so I knew what I had. After our first trip with Photopass, we had about a dozen different pics with Tink added in. If I had known so many were with Tink, I would have started asking for a different character.

Of course, that was before photos pop up almost immediately in your MDE. You might be able to see some of the magic shots now. However, on our last trip, I did notice that some of the magic shots didn't actually show the added character or special effect immediately in MDE. Sometimes, it was just the base shot and it took a while (a very long while- like days) for the special effect to be added. I don't know if this is still the case or not. The last time I noticed this was last September.

Lotus blossom prop at Epcot
At the China Pavilion in Epcot, you’ll find another opportunity to take a photo with one of our new photo props. Each evening, a photographer will have a lotus blossom that will bring beauty and light to your shot.


Chip Magic Shot
Magic Shots add Disney Characters and other fun surprises to your photos after they’re taken. When you visit select photographers in Disney’s Hollywood Studios (near Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage), Epcot (in France) and Magic Kingdom Park (near Beast’s enchanted castle), you can ask for a favorite pal from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” to join your photo.


Virtual backgrounds at the Disney PhotoPass Studio at Disney Springs
Disney PhotoPass Studio at Disney Springs delivers just that. Step in front of one of our dozens of virtual backgrounds that place you in iconic stories, including “Beauty and the Beast,” “Moana, “Toy Story,” Star Wars, and even some of your favorite Disney Parks attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and Peter Pan’s Flight.

Hi Fellow peeps!

I created a new thread called "[URL="https://www.disboards.com/threads/magic-shots-current-listings.3619546/"]Magic Shots - Current Listings[/URL]", it has a FB link to the Magic Shots at all four parks and I included them on the pages as well. Happy to have a place where they're all located.
