On-ride photo coming to Pirates of the Caribbean

[J. D.]

Yup, just becomes a pain when you get those big families and they want every combination of kid, kid + parent, parent with character, etc in the photos... But that's a story for another thread.

We can certainly agree on that.

Not really the same but whatever gets your DVC anger out.

Well....points valid since DVC can be used as a bench mark for when WDW decline started. 93....with respect the original idea didn't tarnish the world as a whole but once they found out it sold like hot cakes the ruin came.

For years I used to just 'steal' the photos by either just taking a picture of the screen after the ride or would take them from Photopass as I would screenshot them on my PC as Disney disabled the right click and save as option on them and then I would edit them to look nice in Photoshop and then have them printed on glossy paper at a Kodak kiosk, but the they recently got wise to that and started adding watermarks to the pictures. Easily removed but takes actual time and effort which I can't be bothered to do anymore.

What happens when they run out of rides to put a photo on

Parking lot trams.

I suspect they didn't want this picture taken on the drop because it's a seven foot drop that just looks like a giant erector set once you expose it to light! When you turn the lights at POTC, it looks like the inside of the spaceship from the movie Alien. I hope they fixed all the holes/cracks in the paper mache rock work before they start showing people what a forty year old ride, with 10 years of failing show maintenance, looks like under a bright light...

Disney gets more than enough money out of me annually as it is but 20 bucks for a photo? No. But as of last year Memory Maker is included in UK packages so it's not going to be an issue on my next trip.

Where is HMF to tell us how he liked it better before *insert whatever change and date it took place here*, and how the new camera ruins the ride?

Maybe the idea so to ruin you night vision adjusted eyes so you can't see as many flaws.

I think it would be cool to have it on the Haunted Mansion.. as long as they do it at the hitch hiking ghost scene at the end..

I would rather have my picture with the original Hitchhiker effect than the current one.

I don't have any strong opinions one way or the other on this.

I'm ok with this.... I'm much more concerned about the current rumour floating around that they are gonna remove and replace the auction scene in DLP during the current refurbishment... I hope that's some fake news.

If they haven't done it here yet I would be amazed if it happens in France.

If they can photoshop in Johhny Depp next to you then i may never get the DW off this ride.

I wouldn't call this plussing up, but maybe that's just me.

I wouldn't either. Every little drop doesn't warrant a reaction shot.

But it makes money!!!!

They all don't have to be 'reaction shots'.. some can just be nice shots that people can have as a way to remember the trip.. especially the people who don't make it there every year or two.. For the 'Once in a lifetime' crowd, things like this are a great way to remember your one trip to Disney.

It's not meant to plus the attraction. It's meant to plus memory maker.

WHAT. Dear lord. The most iconic scene in the ENTIRE attraction. (That and the prison scene.)

Right, they don't all have to be reaction shots.. but, apologies in advance if my kid does a dab in front of any of you while on pirate's now.

I think it's great regardless of once in a lifetime or not. I definitely feel like Memory Maker is one of the best values at WDW.
I'm happy about this new camera.
