Agree with PP to ask for magic shots. I don't think the ones on tripods can do them, and they can't do them at dusk/dark, so get those earlier in the day. It's also good to get some different shots like DD and her Dad walking toward the castle hand-in-hand, putting your hands up with the Epcot ball behind you like you are holding it up, individual shots of each kid instead of just together, etc. As PP mentioned, being ready when you are up is helpful, and knowing what shots you want is great. You will find some awesome photographers that will take a bunch of shots and will be very creative doing different poses and getting tough teenage DS to smile(very difficult to accomplish!), and then some will be one-and-done, so you will have to ask if you want more. Also remember to take shots of the main areas at nt. as well(sometimes on your way out of the park if you are not too tired!) like with the castle lit and Epcot ball glowing.
Once you get home, you will see all your pics, and then can edit, change to black and white, and add borders/signatures/stickers . Each time you modify a pic, you will be able to save it as a copy, to keep the original, but have some with seasonal borders or text like "First "Visit". We have used Christmas ones with a border and message as our photo card, just uploading it to CVS etc. By the end you may have twice as many photos as what you started with, and you will be able to download all of them. With your large group, you should all be linked on
MDE as friends so you can see all the photos, and whoever makes the account can set up a password, and then if there is more than one family, each can go into the account using that to do the editing of their pics, and then the main person can do the download and can separate pics onto a flash drive for others if needed.
Be sure to check to make sure all your photos are there when you look through, and if not call to have them find them. I have had a few missing before, but last time we went in Dec. I was missing a lot, which I noticed at first only because we met Chewy and Vadar, and the Chewy pics did not show up after I had seen DD and Vadar. Then I got to BBB, and was not only missing pics of the end where they do the reveal and sprinkle the pixie dust, but also had sets of pics of three other girls! Needless to say, I then went day by day and thought of 3 other spots we had gotten pics that weren't appearing. Did have to call twice, as some did not come through the first time. Just an FYI, they told me to check the computer, because sometimes they are not able to be seen on the app correctly.
