Did Disney World Just Quietly Announce CHANGES Coming To PhotoPass?

Sometimes Disney drops news and we have to do a double take because we go, “…what did they just say?”

A few times, that’s because Disney has announced something we totally weren’t expecting, but then there are other times, like today, when Disney gets a little cryptic. In a recent post about PhotoPass, Disney dropped some interesting news that has us thinking that something could be changing soon when it comes to a ride photo.

In Disney’s recent post, Guide to PhotoPass at Disney World, it talks all about PhotoPass and how it can help you remember the wonderful memories you made on vacation. Now that’s nothing unusual — we love PhotoPass and often use it on our vacations, especially those of us who have Annual Passes and have chosen to add on the PhotoPass option for $99 to get all the photos we want all year.

What really caught our eye, though, is this sentence in the post when talking about PhotoPass ride photos: “And even more PhotoPass attraction magic is on its way… stay tuned!” In the paragraph before it, Disney specifically talks about the ride photos on Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets and how both of them are personalized to the trip you took. On Buzz, you’ll see your score on your PhotoPass photo, and on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster you’ll see a variety of concert-inspired posters.

From the sound of it, it seems like Disney is planning to bring in even more personalized ride photos to attractions! Could this mean personalized photos with specific information for rides like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, or maybe even Haunted Mansion? We think that’d be a great addition, and an even more fun way to remember your trip. Disney hasn’t given any other details at this time, but we’re hoping to hear more about it in the coming weeks.

If you’re in Disney World and planning to do a special photo session, be sure to check out the Capture Your Moment sessions! These sessions cost an additional upcharge in the parks, and they’re 20-minute sessions (or 40 minutes if you book two back-to-back) that you can use for yourself and your group to get the perfect photos to remember your trip. There are numerous different spots available in all four parks, as well as separate sessions available in Batuu.
