December marks the 15th anniversary of Disney PhotoPass Service at Walt Disney World Resort!

If you are not familiar with Disney PhotoPass, it is a photo service offered at the parks which allows you to capture unique, memorable moments of you and your family during your Disney vacation.

Since making its debut in December 2004, guests have enjoyed capturing all of their favorite memories of their vacations and adding a little bit of Disney “magic” to their pictures by including Magic Shots. A sample of a Magic Shot from Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival is shown below.

Now through January 6, 2020, guests can enjoy bright, colorful photo ops after dark at Epcot. Locations and where to find these special photo ops and photographers are listed below.
