Magic Shots are so fun!. Guests can find holiday-themed Magic Shots at all four theme parks and Disney Springs. Be sure to ask each photographer you visit which Magic Shots they can offer you at their location. You can even take them by yourself with the help of Disney’s amazing photographers. Check out the shot above to see an example!

Character Locator lists many Magic Shots also so be sure to check it out!

One of the best places to experience the holiday season is at Disney Springs. Between shopping for gifts for everyone on your list and enjoying the merry entertainment and atmosphere, there’s something for everyone. Stop by the Disney PhotoPass Studio in the Marketplace to capture photos with themed virtual backdrops.
