Just wanted to give newbie parents to Disney World (like I was) a heads up. A don't- make-this-mistake-like-I-did warning.
I'm back home from Disney downloading photos from Memory Maker / Photo Pass. Aside from the slight inconvenience of sifting thru Jedi Training images to find my kids and deleting the others, I've discovered something that sifting won't fix.
My six and eight year olds are blocked in the images on 7DMT ,ToT and slightly on Splash Mountain because people have their arms raised high during the snapping of the ride photo.
Ugh, I was so disappointed. Unfortunately, my family is not one of those families that goes to Disney multiple times, allowing the moment to be captured on another trip. That moment, although paid for, is forever missed.
Naturally, no one can dictate the behavior of others in the park, but parents, if actually seeing your child in the photo that you spent a lot of money getting is important to you, ask to be seated in the front. I wish I had been made aware. You live and learn.
Yes, I do realize that some people have their arms up, not realizing a photo is being taken. But for the people who frequent the parks, could you please take into account that there might be a child behind you whose parents want a picture of their child on the ride. Thanks. I'm not writing to ruffle any feathers, so please don't take it as such. I just don't want other parents to be disappointed. I want them to make an informed choice for their family, if ride photos are an important part of their Disney experience.
I still had a great time in Disney!
