I too am interested in getting a photo package as the Memory Maker package we got at WDW was amazing. A few questions:
1. If you are limited to 10 Digital pics do you get to pick which ones you want or they will only take 10 pictures with you.
2. How are character photo sessions done, is there always a photographer there or can you just get someone to snap a photo with you all?
3. Is the photo package something you can purchase the day of cruise?
thanks all, my first post too!
If you choose the 10 picture package, you can pick any 10 photos you wish at the end of the cruise.
There isn't ALWAYS a photographer at the character meets, but usually. The Character's handler will take your picture with your camera. Personally I found the professionals to be excellent in quality, though pictures with our camera often came out well too.
Since you are eyeing the 10 picture package, getting in once you board is a fine idea. The unlimited package has a 15% discount if you buy it ahead of time, but the 10 picture one does not. Also, you can cancel your package up until the last full day of your cruise if you aren't satisfied with the pictures they've been taking. So if you only find at the end there are 2 or 3 pictures you want, you can drop the package and just buy those separately.
We had a 7 Day Cruise on the Fantasy and we got the unlimited photo package. We got almost 100 pictures from the package. Some great, some eh. We also got about 3000 of our own pictures on various cameras. In the end, when I looked at all the pictures at home and picked my favorites to share with others, about 25 were from the photo package and 75 were from our cameras. So to me, DCL had a pretty good batting average and I ended up with a lot of pictures from the package that I really wanted.
