Disney Day Tripper!: Makin' Memories!

...with memory Maker!
We spent most of Thanksgiving week at the Happiest Place on Earth. After much discussion, my hubby and I decided that it was the trip we would pop for Memory Maker. Disney has always had photographers available to take those iconic Disney World photos. I remember way back in the day, you know, the 90's, when you had a card for your family and after the pictures were taken for the day, you could stop in at a Disney photo place (it's been a while-I can't remember all the details) and view them and (Disney hoped) purchase them. Remember-these were the days before the internet was what it is-couldn't very well view on line, if online isn't invented yet! As I often tell my Kinders, I am older than the internet. This has evolved over the years to become what is now Photopass and Memory Maker. Both of these allow you access to view your pictures. Photopass, you can purchase prints (idk price) or download the file-at $15 per download. Memory Maker, you are allowed every photo and video from the entire trip for one low price of $169 (advance purchase-see Disney site for information). I know-you are thinking LOW?!? How is that one LOW price-well, do the math. I downloaded just 2 photos earlier this year-for $30. This trip, we had over 100 photos, all for $169. They are mine. I own them. They even give you a statement from them saying you have purchased them, and they are yours to print (just in case anyone ever asks). So below, our Thanksgiving Memory Maker photos (not ALL of them) and some pictures I took myself. The holidays are in full swing at Disney!

The light up sidewalks at Epcot-always a fun stop after dark!

These are some of the pictures I took. I honestly didn't take too many since we had purchaed Memory Maker.

More pics of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights.

The girls rockin' out to Feliz Navidad

Look closely-You will see Nemo in the window, with a hidden Mickey to boot!

Looks like I surprised her!

Hidden Mickeys were EVERYWHERE in the lights!

It never hurts to leave Mousekeeping a few bucks. They will leave a little surprise for you in return!

And here are the Memory maker pictures-again, not all of them, but my favorites!

Some great and "magical" shots from Epcot

I always love to meet the Characters-OOO Baymax is back! We did not wait to see him, but he is at Epcot!

Sofia is still a little leery of Goofy

I am a little disappointed in our pictures with Belle. Her interaction was amazing! She started with telling me to watch out for Gaston, because of course he would instantly propose to such beautiful girls! She then went on to comment on Evelyn's shirt ("Believe in your selfie"). She read "Believe in your self-portrait-well, Gaston certainly does!"

For some reason, every picture we took with Belle is kinda blurry and overexposed. She still remains a favorite, though!
