Forgive me if this is not the right place to bring this up.
I am just home from our 2nd trip to Disney world, The highlight for me and my wife is the amazing character interactions! Over the year in between visits we would often look back at some of the amazing pictures of the meet and greets we had in particular with Cinderella & Mickey, both of which take pride of place on our living room wall. These pictures mean so much more than just a standard 'lets pose for photo' but capture the unbridled joy during a warm hug and tears of happiness. These special moments help us remember these memories.
I had heard about the addition of the new computer boxes and was very sad to hear that Disney would even consider replacing the wonderful skilled photographers. If they need to money pinch than perhaps it would be better removing some of the people around the park or umpteen photographers on main street. However I did want to hold of judgement until we experienced them at first hand. We met Mickey and Minnie and Tinkerbelle, the posed photo came out at best okay, although it felt weird being told to stare at the wall... and not having a person to look at or guide the meet and greet. The remaining photos were all very poorly timed.
I cannot for the life of me know why Disney would go down this route as it just doesn't make sense and from reading here and online these boxes loose the magic. Many on here I am sure will be the same and have a special picture of a trip where they or their children have met their favourite character, this cannot be replaced by a bot.
I had complained to guest relations on our trip about this and did show them our photos, but I feel this seems to be falling on deaf ears as in the last couple days they have been added to the Anna and Elsa, Princess locations at fairy-tale hall. I doubt the dis team will see this post but is their a way we can look to have this issue raised on the show as I know it is a huge concern and something everyone is not happy about.
