Walt Disney World is home to a number of top-tier attractions. The Most Magical Place on Earth lives up to its name, but the number of attractions alone is not the only reason. These rides have backstories, and story telling is what Disney does best. This is why people love Disney theme parks. From Magic Kingdom to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there is something at each park for everyone to love.
When you vacation at Disney World, you are making memories. Your trip is an experience that cannot be re-created. For this reason, you want to cherish those memories and have reminders of the incredible time you had. However, it is difficult to safely take a selfie when you are in the middle of an intense drop or speeding down a race track! Luckily for you, Disney realizes this and has developed a solution for you. Enter Disney PhotoPass service.
Disney PhotoPass
Disney PhotoPass is a photography service offered at Walt Disney World. You can find PhotoPass photographers all over Disney World theme parks and at some Disney Resorts, waiting to take your photo in front of some of the most magical landscapes around. What you may not know, however, is that Disney PhotoPass is also integrated into some of the best rides at Disney World. Disney Adults, that means you can have proof that you really did drop in at the Hollywood Tower Hotel!
Ride Photos
We’ve all heard the saying: If there’s no photo, it didn’t happen. You don’t want to go home without proof of your accomplishment! When you ride select rides at Walt Disney World, you’ll have that proof. Let the nay-sayers weep as they look at your photographic proof courtesy of Mickey Mouse. Drop that mic with authority as they stare in disbelief at your Disney PhotoPass ride photo. This can be you after your next Disney World trip.
Participating Rides
If you want to memorialize your next theme park days with photos while you are riding your favorite ride, you’re in luck. There are currently 13 attractions where you can have your photo taken at just the right time during your ride. As of the date of publication, you can get a ride photo from the following rides and locations:
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
- Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
- Slinky Dog Dash
- The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
EPCOT
- Frozen Ever After
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
- Test Track
Magic Kingdom
- Haunted Mansion
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
- Space Mountain
- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
- TRON Lightcycle / Run presented by Enterprise
While the ride is currently closed for a planned upgrade, I expect Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin to retain its Disney PhotoPass on-ride photo as well. As MouseHouseNews.net has reported, this is one of the Disney World rides expected to reopen soon. We’ve also pointed out that this is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith’s final days. Therefore, if you want a ride photo from this iconic ride before it gets a Muppets makeover, you have until March 1, 2026 to ride. Just pack your patience, Disney Adults, as we expect wait times will increase for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in its final days with the Aerosmith theming.
Now that you know where you can create instant memories on rides with Disney PhotoPass, be sure to prioritize these rides. There is a price for these ride photos, which will be available for download in your MyDisneyExperience app. However, they are included if you purchase Memory Maker, have the PhotoPass Downloads add-on with your annual pass, or if you have purchased Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Premier Pass that day.
The MouseHouseNews.net team raves about the benefits of Disney PhotoPass. We believe it is one of the most beneficial service adds Disney has introduced since 2020. Definitely take a look into the service for your next Disney World trip so you can get your entire travel party in the photos.
