I wonder how similar this will look to the ones at Memento Mori?

I've got a bad feeling about this...

Why? It's an additional gift shop photo thing akin to Haunted Mansion or a much more advanced Star Tours. It doesn't impact the ride experience or even the shopping experience much. It can be completely missed without actually missing anything

It is only going to last for a short while. I am fearing an impending doom for ToT

Remember this is Disney so I can see this limited time offer lasting for the next decade...

I would be more worried about the Tower if they announced they were taking away the on ride photo.

Anything and EVERYTHING ToT related is a plus to me and I'll take all I can get.

Again, I can handle the Twilight Zone aspect of the attraction being removed(worked for the movie) but I hope it stays put for good. They still make plenty of unique items for the gift shop at least.

Here's hoping

I don't know why they'd want to change it, but $hapek doesn't care much for Disney culture and history.

They are probably either licensing the technology from an outside group or having an outside group come in to offer the service. They've likely only committed to a three month time period to determine if this is something worth the cost for Disney to run it. The article notes that this is a "pilot' run indicating that if sales are good for the service, it will likely be extended.

Sounds very cabana-ish

Does anyone have any pictures?

Regardless of if it's an outside group or not (it doesn't seem to be with the haunted mansion ones but who knows? - actually, someone on here probably knows but I digress...) the whole point about it being a pilot makes perfect sense. It really could just come down to deciding if they're going to invest in a permanent installation for the offering.

The one thing I think it is important to realize for anyone who somehow sees this as a bad sign for TOT is that they generally don't experiment with adding offerings around something they are planning to shut down unless they've announced they are shutting it down and are trying to make a quick buck on people's nostalgia over the closure. You know, like how they completely ignored UOE until they announced it was closing and then tried to sell sad-to-see-it-go merchandise to people that were either sad to see it go or wanted to up their Disney geek cred by acting like they were sad to see it go?

A pilot for something new with TOT that has the potential to make them more money off of TOT is a good sign for anyone hoping they'll be keeping TOT around, especially with current management.

It'll be interesting to see if the "Twilight Zone" IP is branded anywhere on the photo or frame. Not that it's exclusion would be an end-all indication of the IP being removed from the ride but it's absence could be foretelling. It sounds like a cool photo-op.

 

[tissandtully]

They gotta pay for those photo printers somehow...

I saw them 2 weeks ago while I was there. They looked just like the ones from Memento Mori. Didn't look close at the frame because I wasn't interested.

 

[I am Timmy]

The ones from Memento Mori are themed after the three hitchhiking ghosts. The picture is taken, and depending on your face and head, they choose which of the three looks best superimposed over your face. So it's personalized. The Haunted Mansion frame is sold seperately, the pic comes in a folder. Not sure if the pics at ToT will be the same, but it will be a little strange to get a hitchhiking ghost pic at the Tower (I love them both, btw). I have the pics from HM of both of my boys (individually) and they are my favorite souvenirs. Bought the frames, too, and keep them out year round. By the front door. They freak people out.

They’re exactly the same as the Haunted Mansion pictures

Come on Disney! That's just tacky. Way to aim low.
