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.
Confetti Magic Shot: Available at the park entrance
and bridges leading into Liberty Square and Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom Park,
select locations in World Showcase at EPCOT, Hollywood Boulevard at Disney’s
Hollywood Studios, and at the park entrance and in front of the Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
EARidescent Balloons Magic Shot: Available at the park entrance and on Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom Park; at the main park entrance and in World Celebration at EPCOT; and on Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
EARidescent Border Magic Shot: Available in front of Partners Statue at Magic Kingdom Park, near the World Celebration entrance to World Showcase at EPCOT, near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and at the park entrance to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
Nighttime Icons Magic Shot: Available in front of all four theme park icons after dark.
I couldn’t resist also sharing this brand-new Runaway Remy Magic Shot, which is now available in EPCOT’s France pavilion near Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
Complimentary wallpapers
Disney PhotoPass Service has added complimentary desktop and mobile device wallpapers to Walt Disney World guests’ Disney PhotoPass galleries, featuring each of the four theme park icons dazzling as Beacons of Magic.

We’ll be introducing additional limited-time Magic Shots, props, celebratory virtual backdrops at the Disney PhotoPass Studio at Disney Springs, more complimentary wallpapers, EARidescent overlays on all of our Super Zoom Magic Shot videos, special photo effects, and much more.
