• Various princess meets at the Princess Fairytale Hall in MK
• Darth Vader meet at the Launch Bay in HS
• Anna and Elsa meet at the Royal Sommerhus in Epcot

I'd guess that the Ariel meet at MK and the Mickey and Minnie meet at the Adventurers Outpost in AK would also get these automated cameras. Maybe the other Mickey/Minnie meets at HS and Epcot?

BTW, this was announced nearly a year ago and the ones at the Town Square theatre were installed back in February. I think it's only because the others are starting to come online this month that people are now becoming concerned about it.

Wow that’s quite a lot of major ones for us. The majority of our photopass was on princesses as I have two little girls. I’m not really sure how a photo booth will work but I can’t imagine it will capture all the random memorable ones that we got. No Tiana teaching mine how to stir the pot of gumbo, my youngest touching rapunzel hair. The hugs from Cinderella and the funny stand off hands on hips with elena.

It’s sad. My kids don’t do well with sit and smile look at the camera. Some of the best photos I have are took when they weren’t posing and were just natural. I’m glad I have the ones I have now cos I can’t see it being the same magically feeling.

Disappointed ☹️

Exactly this!

When we met Chewbacca it really threw us when we saw the automated box and the whole experience and the photos wasn’t as good as with a personal photographer.

Also, not sure whether it was just us, but the photos took a few days to come through on to Memory Maker, all of the others were within an hour.

I did the Mickey and Minnie meet and greet at the Town Square Theatre in MK a couple of days ago and there was a photographer there. It was a pain as the group in front of me was a large one and the photographer spent 15 minutes with them, a large group shot, indivual family units (3) then individual shots of each person. I'm all for boxes if it speeds things up so I'm not signing.

I don’t think that would change, that is pretty much standard in my experience. Most people seem to want that, so surely they would still do it?

At DLP the other week we met Daisy. The little girl in front of us was really unsure about meeting a character, and it was only thanks to the photographer’s skill with children that her family ended up with decent photos. I know they are not professional photographers but they really do help put children at ease.

In this instance the youngest kid was about 12 and looked totally fed up!

Not just you. Ours took ages too, thought they were never going to show... might not have been a bad thing, mostly awful.

I wonder they'll put speed cameras up on Main Street? Mind you, it's usually gridlocked there

I don't know about Main Street, but they've already installed speed cameras on Test Track.



That's 3 points on my licence!
