Editor Megz’s PhotoPass Pro-Tips:

• The Thumper shot is best taken at a low angle so it looks like Thumper is actually standing on your hand
• If you want those Fairy Wings to truly glow, hit the World Showcase bridge about 20 minutes before sunset. The “Golden Hour” light makes the digital wings look much more realistic.
• Prop Hygiene: Since these are physical props (the honey jar and seed packet), feel free to use a quick swipe of hand sanitizer after your shot.

Editor Megz: Don’t just stand there! When you’re doing the Honey Jar shot in Japan, lean into it. Pretend you’re guarding that honey from Spike the Bee.
