Tag #DisneyPhotoPass in your photos for a chance to be featured on our page!

Beginning today, if you're wearing an active MagicBand on select Walt Disney World Resort attractions, your photos will be automatically associated to your My Disney Experience account. You don't have to do anything. In fact, if you've worn your MagicBand on one of the participating attractions in the last 45 days, you should be able to find that photo in your account now.

Don't have a MagicBand? Don't worry. We're making it easier for you, too. Today we turned on new touch points at Magic Kingdom Park (Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain). So after you ride, simply find your photo on the preview wall and touch your park ticket or Memory Maker card to the touch point to associate your photo. We expect to have photo touch points installed at Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom theme parks by mid-November.

Beginning soon, guests wearing active MagicBands will have attraction videos automatically associated to their accounts. Videos are currently available for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

Just like attraction photos, if you've worn your MagicBand on one of the participating attractions in the last 45 days, you should be able to find that attraction video in your account soon. Guests will be able to view these videos in their accounts, but a Memory Maker entitlement is required to download and share them.

Just remember that all Disney PhotoPass photos and videos expire 45 days after they are taken. So be sure to log in to your account to secure your memories before they expire.

And watch for more exciting news coming from Disney PhotoPass Service soon!

update August 23, 2015 

Get the whole family in the picture together with Memory Maker—the most incredible way to capture and relive the magical memories of your vacation!

Memory Maker replaces Disney PhotoPass+, which is no longer available for purchase at Walt Disney World® Resort. Disney PhotoPass+ will continue for sale at the Disneyland® Resort and we will honor any guests who have pre-purchased PhotoPass+ prior to this product change. Please continue reading for more information.

August 2015 Changes

Water Marks

When you view PhotoPass photos online or on MyDisneyExperience, you will now see a watermark across the picture. The “Disney PhotoPass” watermark may make it more difficult to decide if the picture is worth purchasing. You will also not be able to screenshot the photo and keep it forever. This may be the one negative change, but the other changes will make this seem unimportant.

MyDisneyExperience App

The MyDisneyExperience App is an invaluable tool while visiting Disney, but changes involving PhotoPass will make it even better! The app lists everything from wait times to restroom and ATM locations, and it will now show the locations of PhotoPass Photographers. This means that you won’t have to wander around searching for a Photographer, but you’ll be able to find the closest photographer to your location or find out if a photographer is stationed at a location where you want to get a picture taken before you walk all the way there.  Here is an important detail...If you prepurchase and get a code you can still link this to your account.  You will have to add the code under Ticket & Passes>Link a Ticket or pass.  You will not be able to link it under "Link a Memory Maker"  This link is for the code on the actuall product.

Digital and Print Copies

The PhotoPass of the past required users to purchase digital and print copies separately, but no more! When you purchase a digital copy of a print, you’ll also get a printed copy of any size! What’s even better is that there’s no additional fee! You should be aware, though, that this perk is only available online; digital purchases made in the park will not come with a print.

Unlimited Edits

PhotoPass has long allowed guests to edit their photos with borders, text, zooming, and cropping. However, it used to be that you had to purchase and download a photo every time you wanted to keep an edit of a photo. Now, Disney only requires that you purchase the photo once. Then you can make as many edits as you want and keep all of them. This is perhaps a response to how easy it has become to do basic and even more advanced photo editing with many online software programs.

Enjoy unlimited Disney PhotoPass Photos with Memory Maker, including those taken at select attraction and dining locations.
