Many guests who travel to Walt Disney World opt to remember the memories enjoyed there by taking lots of photos that capture the magical moments experienced throughout the trip. While some guests opt to purchase Disney’s Memory Maker which features professional photographers who take guests’ photos throughout the property, others still enjoy bringing their own cameras or using the cameras on their cell phones to capture the memories. While taking their own photos is a great option for guests, this often leaves one member of the group left out of the photo in order to take it. Luckily, many guests love to take selfies where everyone in the party can be involved in the photo and form lasting memories. While there are plenty of amazing locations to take photos in throughout the theme parks and more, there are some places that are idea for a selfie. Here are the must do selfies to take on any magical vacation in Walt Disney World.
