It takes a lot to get 5 stars out of me. It has to be an experience! When you go to a gear rental…read moreplace, you expect that they'll have gear to rent. You expect the gear to be in good condition and the experience to be pleasant. That would make for a 4 star experience in my book. But, Doug went above and beyond the call of duty. From helping me pick exactly what I needed and nothing I didn't, to communicating with my insurance company to make sure they had all the information I needed in the right place so that I would be properly covered should something go wrong. I called the man at the last minute "You got a slider?" the answer was "Yup" and it was promptly picked up. My delivery guys dropped the ball so Doug brought the gear to my shooting location which was luckily not too far from his office but still, way above and beyond what I expect a gear rental business to do. The best way I can describe it is pride of work. I will ALWAYS rent from Pro Gear Orlando! It's difficult not to; Doug made it, smooth, easy, painless, convenient, pick whichever adjective suits you best. Thank you Doug! I actually look forward to renting gear from you again :)

It is here where you can purchase "memory maker" which you can use for either a day or for the entire length of your vacation. All photos taken by photo pass photographers are then downloaded to your My Disney experience app and made available for you to have multiple downloads up to 45 days and then they disappear. In case you are concerned about losing them Disney does sell a flash drive which will have them all on it so you can upload them to whatever device you have whenever you want them. During this visit we had just arrived at Disney and were anxious to try out their services. At this location you stand in front of a "green" screen and they will project various images and locations in the background. Sometimes they will have you look surprised or look at each other a certain way. This is because they are doing a "magic shot" where either a Disney character or certain background appears in the final print. It was here we had photos taken of the backgrounds of all 4 parks just in the event bad weather would run our visit. You can purchase prints of these pictures here or at any photo pass location. However, you are better off printing them at home or at your local pharmacy which is a lot cheaper. As it turned out one of my favorite shots happened to be here and I was so glad at the end of my trip to have it made into a print. Memory maker is a good investment if you plan on taking a lot of pictures from your trip.

Your annual pass does apply at this store if you have one! My daughter really enjoyed this store. There are so many pins to choose from! We ended up stopping by this store 3 times while we were visiting Disney World Hollywood Studios. It does get busy inside the store since it's relatively small. In the evening, it was packed, whereas in the morning, there were less customers inside the store. Other gifts we saw inside The Darkroom were housewares, and apparel. We did notice some really cool cook book themed item like Ratatouille Auguste Gusteau's Anyone Can Cook book! The team members are great here! We ended up buying a Disney Hollywood Studios theme park pin here!

Some D-Tech items can be found here like phone cases, portable battery charges, earphone splitters, and cell phone holders. Great selection of Magic Bands here and Magic Band Accessories. All of the character Magic Bands are here as well as the Limited Release Magic Bands. They even have the Limited Edition Olaf Magic Band. There's a nice selection of Disney books, Disney CDs, and Disney DVDs and Blurays. They even have some really cute sticker books for kids. Even if you're looking for Disney post cards, they have a good variety. A cooler is here with bottled soda, water, Poweraid, etc. If you're an annual passholder, you can get your 10% discount on drinks here. You don't get the discount buying bottled drinks at the QSR stands. For as small as this shop is, they have a good bit to offer.

No exchanges or refunds on special orders, store won't match prices." I purchased a camera bag on December 18, 2011 aware of this policy only as I read it on the receipt. I agreed to it by signing. I figured I probably wouldn't return it. What I did not notice is that the clerk had stamped another part of the receipt "Package Deal Special Order." This is ridiculous because the bag was ready and waiting on display. There was no special order whatsoever. This was nothing less than an attempt to hoodwink me and make sure that no return or exchange was at all possible. This is fraudulent and ill faith. Do not do business with this establishment. Go to a major store such as Best Buy with a proper return policy.

There are a couple different themes you can choose from and we went with the ganster theme. Once you're all checked in, they bring you back into their changing room and bring you the outfit and accessories (you don't really get a choice on which outfit you're going to wear). Then they bring you over to the themed room and take the pictures. They take thousands of these pictures everyday so the photographer was very quick and knew exactly what he was looking for/what shots to do. The whole process was very quick. Once done, they print out all the pictures for you to look at. 2 photos come with your photo shoot and then you can pay more for the rest of them or for the flash drive to get them all. It's kind of a bummer that they just throw out the pictures if you don't buy them but I understand the upsell. We wound up just choosing 2. Overall it was a cute experience and I'm glad we got to do it.

Most of us came from out of state so weren't familiar with the area. He recommended a wonderful little natural area that made a perfect backdrop for our photos. He took all the shots/combinations that we requested and did not rush us through anything. There were 11 of us, including a toddler and 4 other kids, so it wasn't the easiest group to manage, but he did so with humor and ease. Some of the shots had some dark shadows, but somehow he made these sparkle in the editing process. The results were beautiful images that we will treasure. The only criticism that could be made was that he did not 'mix it up' with locations/backdrop. We started near one tree, and we stayed there the entire shoot (although using different sides/angles of that tree). I would call this a 'mini-session' by most photographer's definitions, and we were really only looking for ONE good shot, so this wasn't an issue for us. Prices were very reasonable and in line with what I've paid other professional photographers in the past few years. I would use him again if we lived in the area!
