We have exciting details from Disney Parks Blog about the upcoming 2017 Disney PhotoPass Day at Walt Disney World.  During the event there will be special PhotoPass opportunities in addition to all of the regular spots and character meetings throughout the park.  It is all expected to take place on August 19th, so your photo smiles and poses ready! During this fun event you have your pictures taken at the photo spots by a PhotoPass photographer.  Then you will be able to access all of your photos from your My Disney Experience account to view and determine which ones you want.  If you plan to collect a bunch of the photos, you can purchase Memory Maker One Day for $59 so that you can get the unlimited downloads of all of your photos from the day.   We have information on all of the planned special shots below!

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
