Memories Magic and You
About This Page: This is a discussion on Memories Magic and You within the Touring the 'World': The Parks at Walt Disney World, part of the PassPorter Community - Boards & Forums on Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel; I saw this show last year when I was there in March, I know the pictures flash up really quickly ...

I saw this show last year when I was there in March, I know the pictures flash up really quickly but has anyone here ever seen your picture on the castle during this show?

I think it would be really neat to have that happen but I also know that only a few pictures are selected from the thousands of pictures that photopass photographers take daily.

You're right, the pictures do go up fast and can be difficult to see, especially if you have anything but a straight on view of the castle, so I have no idea if our photo was there, but we were given a special card from a photopass photographer giving us notice that our picture could be used and if we didn't want it to be used there were some steps we had to go through. We watched the show and couldn't tell.
Getting one of those cards would be a big hint though.
Good luck!

Whenever we've seen it, we've been too far away to make out any of the photos.

Same here - we've always been too far away to make out individual photos.

Add us to the "We couldn't see it" bunch and we were just a bit back from Casey's. The crowds in mid-June were massive.

On our very first trip to WDW and in fact our very first day, we got stuck on the bridge towards Frontierland and Adventureland and ended up watching the show because we couldn't move. We had a side view of the castle, and we were actually pretty close. It was kind of hard to see some of the smaller pics, but the larger ones we could see just fine. I was glad we got stuck there and had to watch the show because we did see one of our pics up there. It was a rather distinctive pic, so it was easy to tell, plus it was pretty big. Here is the pic that was used:

and here is my write-up in my trip report:

I wish I could have grabbed a pic of it, but of course it does fly by just quick enough that you don't have time to lift up the camera. It was pretty cool to see though.

Cheers!
Rachel

Awww, I love that picture! Very cool that you saw it on the castle

PhilsEagles08 · 08-12-2012, 08:51 AM

Aww that's a really sweet pic!!

JennV · 08-13-2012, 07:32 PM

That's great!! Was it a good view of the fireworks from there too?! It's a side view right?

It is a side view. You could see the fireworks really well, but because of the angle, you don't get the full effect of the fireworks around the castle. I have seen the fireworks from the side, from behind the castle, and from really close to the castle (couldn't see them at all with that one). I have not gotten that nice effect of the fireworks framing the castle yet. I would say though out of all the spots I have been, the side view was the best of them.

I think the next time I am going to try and snag a spot close to the Walt statue, but on the Main street side. I think that would be the ideal spot to be able to see MMY and the fireworks well. You have to be closer to the castle for the effect of MMY to be good. I watched part of MMY from the end of Main Street (near the entrance) once and the projections looked like just that, projections. But as you get closer, they look like the castle is really changing. The side view and the close up view were great for MMY. Here's a shot of MMY when we sat close to the castle (right in front of it) (a different trip than when our pic was on the castle). It was a great spot for MMY, but not at all for the fireworks.

Cheers!

Wow! Great pic, Rachel!

Just an FYI on this show - I just started a thread that this is "closing" in September. I read it on WDWmagic.com

That's a bummer, but I hope they have something new and awesome in it's place!! It's sad when things go away, but it's also exciting to see new things come. I am glad I got to see it and get good pictures of it when I did!!
