Fans of Disney’s PhotoPass service, we’ve got something new you may love to save those vacation pics!
PhotoPass Photographers in Hollywood Studios
If you’ve had your pic snapped by PhotoPass photographer, one of those instantly-loved PhotoPass camera boxes (ha!), or snapped a Magic Shot or 2 around the parks, you know all too well that pictures taken by Disney can be great memories to save long after your trip. And now there’s an easier way!
Many Disney World guests (including us here at the DFB team) get flutters of excitement when they get to meet and get photos taken with their favorite Disney World characters. And if you’re a parent to little ones, you likely get a burst of joy seeing your kiddo meet Mickey Mouse for the very first time.

Disney World’s PhotoPass photographers have become a vital component of these character meet-and-greets, and many vacationers choose to purchase the Memory Maker package for unlimited downloads of the resulting photos. (Disney World Annual Passholders get Memory Maker for free). During our recent visits to a few meet-and-greet locations, we’ve noticed the addition of automated cameras in lieu of PhotoPass photographers, and Disney Fans are NOT HAPPY about it. We’ll explain why in a minute, but first let’s talk about what these actually are and where you can find them.
