Yes, this is quite evident at parks these days.
I see with the advent of CF's Funpix there are selfie stations placed around where you can take your photo in a cute situation or at an iconic location and load it to your card. Disney's photographers shoot you against a specific backdrop and have you pose a certain way or hold an expression so they can add enhancements.
