I would recommend the photopass photographers if you want photos of the whole group. I usually take the photos so many years, I'm in very few photos. We've probably purchased the Memory Maker 4-5 times and have an annual pass now. Only once or twice have I gotten photos from another group and never have they missed automatically adding one to my account based on my magic band. The only time we've ever had trouble with ride photos is when the the number of people standing in front of the monitors prevented us from tapping our magic bands to "claim" our photos before the rolled off. This was easily fixed by talking to the ride photo cast member and they added it manually. I saw photographers everywhere at Epcot during the Flower and Garden, Animal Kingdom at night in Pandora and by Tree of Life. I've seen more photographers at those two parks than Magic Kingdom or Disney's Hollywood Studios but I've seen them tucked away at those parks as well. It may be expensive but having the photos that include everyone and the ability to edit them adding character signatures and borders make it worth the price to our family.
Pros:
Lots of opportunities, photos of the whole group, magical photos and the ability to edit/customize them with borders and character signatures and stickers.Cons:
Price can be high so make sure you stop at as many photographers as possible.Reviewed by cmschn Review Date: 09/27/2018

I feel this service is 100% worth the $. I am notoriously horrible at taking pictures and remembering to take pictures. And I don’t do selfies. So PhotoPass was our way to guarantee that we had several family pictures from our vacation. Christmas Card, done. All our memories are there and I didn’t have to stress. The quality of everything was great. I can’t imagine a scenario where I would go to WDW and not get this.
Pros:
Guaranteed memories of your vacation, good quality, fun magic shotsCons:

Our family enjoys photo pass, the photographers are so nice, and they always try and get the best pose for the whole family. We enjoy the surprise photos, along with all the additional characters, and add on's when you are editing your photos. We have been to Disney World several times and honestly do not think we would go without Photo Pass. If you are debating on getting photo pass I would say if this is your first trip then yest get it the memories in photos are the best.
Pros:
The whole family is in the pictures, the surprise shots are the bestCons:

This is probably the only thing that when Disney raised the price $30, I didn't bat an eyelash because that's how valuable I find this service.
The joy of having everyone in the picture is huge.
And the photogs, the good ones, will catch moments that you missed and that just blow you away later.
Pros:
Everyone in the picture,Cons:

In the summer of 2016 my family visited Disney for the very first time. It was not my first visit but it was husband's and my two son's first time to experience the parks. I purchased the Memory Maker package to take full advantage of the Photo Pass system. We really loved it!! We were able to have professional photographers take great pictures of our family.
Sometimes they added fun and magical characters right into our photos. (But "magical shots" could only be done during the day)
One of the best parts were the pictures that were taken on the rides and the videos that Disney made with some of the attraction pictures. They were so fun! The best part was that I paid one standard price for everything and the pictures were immediately available to me and my family. I used them in our Disney picture album after we returned home and they are some of my most favorite pictures from the whole trip. I would highly recommend this service.
Pros:
Cost affective, Great quality, creative photos, unique shots, attraction pictures (while riding)Cons:
Photographers could not do "magical" shots after dark.Reviewed by smcolburn Review Date: 09/26/2018

Our family loves the photo pass! So many moments and memories captured that we would have missed and finally we get EVERYONE into the photos! I love the extra characters and borders that you can put on the photos. It is worth the price for sure.
Pros:
Getting those magical shots; getting your whole family or group into the photos; the borders, characters etc. that you can add to the photos. The memories preserved that might be missed with your cameras.Cons:

I love photopass, having the opportunity for someone else to take our family photos is a life safer! Plus the added fun of the ride photos, love that addition to photopass. I can not wait to go back and try all of the fun, new magic shots!

We get Photopass as part of the annual pass deal so in our case it is definitely worth it. Finding photographers can be tricky at times but we take pictures just about every time we do find one. Some photographers take great shots while some others don’t seem to have “the eye” for framing the perfect shot. We love the surprise of taking magic shots. Although there are so many more that when we used Photopass for the first time it seems like there are so many characters and possibilities that are missing.
Pros:
Magic shots Lots of great memoriesCons:

The value of the photopass is dependent on which photographer you get. These are when I suggest it is well worth the money and extra time: multiple people in your party, special occasions (birthday, anniversary, reunion), no pressure for time, lots of days in the parks. DEFINITELY worth it if you are doing a runDisney event!!!
