Magic Bands *should* work automatically every time. In practice, they are fairly reliable, but not 100% For sure, I have had ride photos that didn't link up to my account. On rides where there are monitors after the ride that show the photo, just take a second and claim the photo with a MB, or Photopass Card, and then you know it is linked. On rides where there are not monitors after the ride (specific ones I know of for certain are 7DMT, Pirates, and Haunted Mansion, though there may be others) just make note of the day / time you rode. If you don't see the photo pop up in MDE within a day, reach out to Photopass HERE and give them as much information as possible about the missing photo(s) especially another photo taken that day which clearly shows what you were wearing that day, and they will do their best to reconnect you with your photos.If the photographer does not scan your Magicband or photopass card correctly you will not see them at and in my case they could not be recovered.
I know exactly what's missing, my girlfriend had her photos done first, then we did a few shots together and then I did my shots. This is how we did things all night and includes Magicshots, character photos and props. Several of my shots are missing. Frustrating!
Some rides automatically take photos and some even take videos of you on the ride. I believe if you have a Magicband you should be all set and if you use a photopass card you might have to get that scanned though I'm not 100% positive. There is a great up to date thread by @Tomh who might be able to help you, here's the link:
