You could outgrow the souvenir toys and the T-shirts, but you’ll never outgrow a photograph of yourself and your loved ones in front of fan-favorite Disney attractions and park icons.

This makes Disney’s PhotoPass service a fan-favorite route to get tons of souvenirs that last a lifetime: photos! PhotoPass photographers are stationed at TONS of locations throughout the Disney parks, ready to scan your MagicBand or ticket and snap a photo of you and your crew — which will then link to your Disney account. These photos are taken with professional cameras and the PhotoPass Cast Members are trained to pose you and your group so that everyone is in the frame and looking great. Sometimes, you’ll even be able to use special props! Photo packages are available that allow you to purchase single photos, certain photos per day, and even Memory Maker, which allows you to download ALL of the photos that are taken throughout your vacation.

Halloween is right around the corner!
Halloween in Disneyland
Tickets for Oogie Boogie Bash sold out months in advance, but if you got your ticket, be prepared to try all the snacks and see lots of characters. If you’re celebrating the occasion during normal Disneyland operating hours instead, there’s still plenty to check out. And if you’re a Magic Key Holder, there are a few special Haunted Mansion PhotoPass lenses available just for you!

Genie+ is the PAID FastPass+ replacement service that can help you skip the lines at some of your favorite rides throughout the parks. We’ve already shared a comprehensive guide to Genie+ and a look at how the service is different in Disney World vs. Disneyland, but now something is changing for Genie+ users on the west coast.
PhotoPass lenses and magic shots can take a regular amazing Disney photo to the next level. We’ve seen it time and time again, and we love them!

Along with Genie came Genie+, which is the paid system that has replaced FastPass+ in the parks. It’s $15 per day, per person and allows you to make reservations for the Lightning Lanes (old FastPass lanes) of 46 attractions across the parks. But, when you buy Genie+, you also get some other perks! One of those perks is exclusive PhotoPass Lenses you can use on your phone. We already saw a lot of the lenses when Genie+ launched, but now there are even more for you to check out!
There are a lot of new features coming to Disney World tomorrow with the launch of Disney Genie and Disney Genie+!

The free Disney Genie service will offer a digital assistant for planning your day in the park, while the paid Disney Genie+ will allow guests to use the Lightning Lanes for certain attractions. And as part of the offerings of Genie+, guests who purchase the new system will be able to use new PhotoPass lenses in the parks!
