Celebrate with Snapchat
Disney is introducing a new way to meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse with new Snapchat lenses! Now, our favorite pals can be right beside us in our pictures.
“The Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Lenses will be available in the Snapchat app* only at Walt Disney World Resort, but to celebrate the launch – and other special experiences to come! – you can try them at home, anywhere in the U.S., until June 3.”

Cinderella Castle

You can check out a glimpse of the fun right here in this video below.
“To mark the occasion, Disney PhotoPass Service is working with Snap to virtually transform Cinderella Castle. With the My Disney Experience app, you’ll be able to place your favorite image captured by Disney PhotoPass photographers on the iconic castle with augmented reality. Look through your camera lens in the app and you’ll see a beautiful mosaic of special moments shared by our guests to celebrate the 50th. The best part is, you can share your memory with your friends and family, and the next time you return during the 18-month 50th Celebration, your photo will be there waiting for you!”
More to come

This is all well and good, but I sincerely hope they don’t think this will replace in-person character meet & greets! That’s what I keep waiting to hear about. I’m not interested in going back until I can get up close and personal with Mickey, Pooh bear and others. To me, it’s the characters that make the magic and seeing the interactions with everyone. That’s my favorite part of Disney!
