As long as you have not yet downloaded any photos, you can go to the Shutters photo desk on your ship and you can have your purchase cancelled and refunded. Weather permitting, there will be at least a few photographers available when the DCL ships dock at Castaway Cay (and presumably at Lighthouse Point when it opens). On rare occasion, you may find a DCL photographer stationed outside the ship in another port. For example, during a Mediterranean voyage, I encountered DCL photographers on the disembarkation pier when leaving the ship at Villefranche and Civitavecchia. Disney Wish is replete with suite options, including Concierge Suites and two-deck options like the Aurora Suite and the Tower Suite.

If you you print photos via any of the services above, those will likely be your options. DCL takes many of its photos in a 6″x8″ ratio, this means that there may be some unintentionally wonky cropping when you have your pictures printed. Pre-pandemic, onboard photos were routinely printed for all guests. At the other end of the spectrum, you might be on a 12-night repositioning cruise with half a dozen sea days and not much of import on your agenda. In that case, you might end up acquiring dozens or even hundreds of photos with barely a blip in your day. Scroll down for TPG's exclusive Disney Wish first look in photos.
Excursions On Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Cay
They were in one stateroom and I (an adult) was in my own stateroom, but our reservations were linked and we ate dinner together and participated in some Port Adventures together. My friends opted to purchase the photo package and I did not. During our sailing, I posed in many photos with them.
Disney Cruise Line Photo Packages
Feel free to ask for group and individual pictures. For pre-cruise purchases on MyCruisePhotos.com, you may purchase the first disc online and additional discs can be purchased onboard for 50% off the onboard price. You can buy the package up to 3 days before the cruise to get a discount. If you buy it on the cruise the price is higher.
There are so many photo ops you really can go all out and maximize it. The Shutters area on the Disney ships is very crowded on the last evening. It’s easy to change photos in and out of your Disney Cruise Photo Album and arrange them on the page as you want to.
They’ll get the job done, but it may not be pretty. Yes, DCL offers mugs, mousepads, plaques, and other items imprinted with your photos. You can order these on the ships or via the DCL photo website. In either case your items will be delivered to your home several weeks after you disembark. If you choose the photo book option, the book will be delivered to your home several weeks after your sailing, adding a level of challenge to any remediation you might need. Standard aspect ratios of photos in the US are 4″x6″, 5″x7″, or 8″x10″.

When it’s your turn, you approach the character, pose, and the photographer takes your picture. The photographer will scan your Key To The World card (your stateroom key) or DisneyBand+ to link your photo to your stateroom account. On many cruise nights, you’ll find stations for general family photography.

New Character Costumes at Disney Castaway Cay This Weekend!
However, if you want to have your photograph taken with one of the more minor characters, say Peter Pan or Captain Hook this takes a little more planning as they don’t appear as often. In my experience, a lot of people ignore them on Castaway Cay. You may get a great Castaway Cay picture for your Disney Cruise Photo Package.
At any time during your cruise, you can stop by Shutters (mid-ship, adjacent to the atrium) and view your photos. You can view them on a computer screen by swiping your room key at one of the kiosks during Shutters’ operating hours. Note that the facial recognition software is not fool proof, so try and remember each time you have your photo taken and then make sure the photo shows up in your account. If you notice you are missing any photos, ask a Shutters employee to help you find it in the system and add it to your account.
You will be prompted to select your ship and sail date. Other DCL guests are often happy to help with photography. The photographers themselves usually won’t do this. However, during some character greeting photo ops, there will be an assistant available who will be happy to use your camera to take a few shots. In my experience, they often don’t take much care to compose the shot well.
Typically single photo downloads cost about $21, packages of 10 cost about $150, and packages of 20 cost about $250. Is this a once-in-lifetime family reunion during the holidays? If you hate being photographed, or are 100% certain that you will never buy a photo, then feel free to wave off the photographers and go about your business. I went back through our old cruise information and surfed the internet to compile what I think is the most recent price lists. If you have sailed recently and noticed prices different than those below, please email me or comment below and let me know. Note that these prices are subject to change at anytime and may be different for your actually sailing, but hopefully it will give you a general idea of the type of pricing you can expect.
If you have two staterooms as part of the same booking, and guests under age 21 are in the second stateroom, the photos for both staterooms will show up in one package. This should happen automatically, but in my experience it often takes a trip to the onboard Shutters photo desk to make it happen. You can, however, make the package more valuable by taking advantage of the photographers as much as possible. My family tends to buy the photo package on every second or third sailing. On sailings where we know we’re buying the package, we make a game of seeing how many photos we can have the onboard photographers take of us.
These are either staged photos opportunities in a dramatic setting (the lobby atrium stairs) or staged photo opportunities with a Sears-Portrait-Studio-style fabric backdrop. Backdrops range from inoffensive and nondescript solid colors, to in-your-face (literally) photos of the ships. Depending on the sailing, you may be able to buy a package of just 10, 15, or 20 pictures, rather than an unlimited package. Let’s start with the easiest example, two parents and two or more minor children staying in two staterooms.
The ship’s photographers (on the lower left) were still setting up and we wanted a photo with the tree in the background. I flagged down a teenage girl walking out of the Royal Court restaurant (teen girls always take the best photos) and asked her if she had a moment to take a photo of our family. As it turned out the girl was a daughter of Bobby Lopez and Kirsten Anderson-Lopez, the composing team behind Frozen and countless other musical theater masterpieces.
