There are a surprising number of things you can do in Disney World for free!
Disney Springs
You can visit Disney Springs and walk around, you can use resort transportation like the Monorail or Skyliner, you can do plenty of hotel activities, and you can even get some small souvenirs for free. And even if you paid to be on your vacation, there are often many free bonuses included with services you already paid for…bonuses you may not know about!
Have you ever purchased the Memory Maker for your Disney World trip? Memory Maker is Disney’s PhotoPass package, where you can get unlimited downloads of all the pictures taken by PhotoPass Cast Members and on-ride cameras during your trip. Paying for Memory Maker is a great way to ensure everyone in your group gets to be in the picture.

But if you buy Memory Maker, there’s another Disney World service that comes along with it — the Disney PhotoPass Studio! You’ll find this studio at Disney Springs in The Marketplace, and many people don’t even know it exists. It’s like a fun little free photoshoot opportunity for you and your family!

And I say free because yes, you don’t technically have to pay for it at all! You can go and do the photoshoot without purchasing the pictures or having Memory Maker, and then the photos will be available in your My Disney Experience account if you decide to pay and download them. But throughout the year, Disney changes the theme of the photoshoot setup so you can get a different experience every time.
Inside the studio
Recently, Disney just updated the PhotoPass Studio with a new fall theme, and it’s adorable! This would be a great spot to get some family pictures done during your next visit. Check it out!

During the fall season, you can pose with pumpkins, Mickey wreaths, hay bales, and a generally cozy barn background. This is a great spot to grab couples’ pictures or even a photoshoot with your little one.

No reservations are required for this experience, though you may have to wait a few minutes in line if it’s a busy day. The PhotoPass studio is located between Arribas Bros. and Marketplace Co-op.
