We are a family of 5, kids are older, 14, 17 and 19. Can't wait to here what your families have done and what ideas you come up with!

I'm sure you could do the same thing in front of the giant Christmas tree, near the snow covered castle, by the Matterhorn, or pretty much any place that looks cold. It might be a hassle (which is why I haven't ever done it), but I think it would make a great picture.

Originally Posted By GPMike We do many of those same things, and when we were there two weeks ago took a ton of pictures hoping to get that perfect one.

They took two or three pictures, all of which turned out incredibly. IASW with all of the lights in the background looks amazing. The entire Photo Pass idea worked very well for us overall, as we have four kids under 8, and it is always a hassle having only mom or dad in the picture, unless we grab a passer-by and hope they can figure out our camera AND take a great picture. We stopped wuickly just about everywhere we saw Photo Pass people. At the end of our trip, my wife simply had all of the pictures taken on our trip (128 altogether) burned to a disc. It is a one time all-inclusive price of $59.95 I think, and then you have the pictures on disc to do what you want with them. we ended up with at least 10 choices that we easily could have used for our card. Best of luck getting that perfect shot. Let us know how it turns out.

And when my family put them in frames, they were already "decorated" but not a weird shape like other photo cards.
