New 50th Anniversary Photo Opportunities

Credit: Disney

If you’re going to Walt Disney World most likely, you will want to take many photos. Guests will take many pictures on their phones, but PhotoPass photographers are a great way to get professional quality photos in some of the most popular spots. Another addition to using PhotoPass is Magic Shots. Disney uses a little bit of extra pixie dust to give you some photos that have a little something extra to them. Emily Southard shared with Disney Parks Blog some that are specifically for this celebration:

 

“The Disney PhotoPass team loves celebrating anything and everything – and I mean everything – by offering special photo ops. Holidays, festivals, the arrival of seasons, movie releases, animals being born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, etc. You get the picture: We’re always in a celebratory mood!

But the Walt Disney World Resort 50th anniversary celebration means something more to us. Fifty years is a long time, and thanks to photos, millions of moments – big and small – that occurred over the past five decades at Walt Disney World Resort continue to exist today. These photos can transport us back in time to those precious moments spent with family and friends, while also inspiring us to think about where we want to go in the future.   

With The World’s Most Magical Celebration underway at Walt Disney World Resort, Disney PhotoPass Service is celebrating the best way we know how – with festive photo ops! Our awesome photographers are ready to capture magical memories for you. Check out all of the details below.

Magic Shots

The World’s Most Magical Celebration obviously calls for Magic Shots! The theme? EARidescence, of course! Disney PhotoPass photographers are so excited to capture special Magic Shots for you all around Walt Disney World Resort. Below I’ve shared where you can find each of them. But don’t worry about memorizing those locations: You can ask any Disney PhotoPass photographer you visit what Magic Shots they offer at their location (we offer more than 50 across Walt Disney World Resort!) and where you can find 50th anniversary celebration Magic Shots.
