What is Disney PhotoPass?

Disney offers Disney PhotoPass as a complimentary service at their parks to capture your vacation moments through professional photography. Here’s how it works:

  1. Finding a Photographer: PhotoPass photographers are easy to spot, often wearing bright green shirts with blue stripes on the sleeves or blue and white pinstripe shirts on Main Street. Guests can find them throughout Walt Disney World Resort’s four theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and both Disneyland parks.
  2. Capturing Photos: Once you locate a PhotoPass photographer, you have a couple of options to link the photos to your account:
    • MagicBand, MagicBand+, Disney Magic Mobile digital pass, or admission card: The photographer will scan your band, card, or device to link the photos to your account.
    • PhotoPass Card: If you don’t have a MagicBand or equivalent, the photographer will provide you with a free PhotoPass card, which includes a unique 16-digit barcode. The photographer scans this card each time they take a photo.
  3. Viewing and Sharing Photos: You are under no obligation to purchase the photos. You can view and share them online with friends and family for up to 30 days after your vacation.
  4. Keeping the Card Safe: If you opt for a PhotoPass card, ensure you keep it safe and accessible throughout your stay, as you’ll need to present it each time a photo is taken.

Disney PhotoPass helps preserve your magical experiences without needing to worry about taking pictures yourself.

 

Magic Shots

Wanting a little more than just a family photo? Ask your photographer about Magic Shots and have one of your Disney favorites join the picture! Magic Shots are available throughout Disney’s theme parks and resorts. You can add memorable characters to your photo like Tinker Bell and Stitch, or sweet treats such as giant ice cream cones!

There are also a few Magic Shots taken with special cameras at specific locations. The first of these are the “Tiny World” Magic Shots, which capture your group with a 360-degree camera. These shots can typically be found near the entrance of EPCOT and near the Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The other special camera takes a “Super Zoom” Magic Shot, which will start really far away and then cut close on your group. You can find these shots near the Hub in front of Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom, in front of the Millennium Falcon in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and behind the theater seating across from Expedition Everest in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

In the My Disney Experience App, you can go to the map and then select “PhotoPass” to locate specific locations of Magic Shots or other PhotoPass photographers.

Magic Shots are unlimited, though you’ll want to keep them all! Disney’s PhotoPass Memory Maker is a great way to go to get the best deal.
