Walt Disney World has so many different ways to capture that magical moment and we didn’t even realize it. We were surprised with the “Capture Your Moment” private photo session that we did at Star Wars: Galaxy Edge. This experience is available at all four parks (Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom).

Disney World's PhotoPass service provides guests with a variety of unique photography experiences, such as the Capture Your Moment private session, Magic Shots with digital overlays, and specialized camera features like Super Zoom and Tiny World Magic Shots. These services are available at all four Disney parks and at portrait studios in Disney Springs, offering seasonal backdrops and exclusive technology not accessible to regular park guests.

Photos taken through PhotoPass can be accessed via the Walt Disney World app and downloaded with the purchase of Memory Maker, which allows unlimited downloads for a set period.

Hidden photo opportunities at Disney World: PhotoPass

Galaxy's Edge is such a magical place. It's even more magical when I'm able to channel my lightsaber skills in a private photoshoot. I was also photobombed by Kylo Ren and I still can't believe that happened. It's called Capture Your Moment, a premium service that is part of Disney's Photopass. Honestly, I didn't even know this was something I could do. So I decided to meet up with Jeff from Photopass to get an inside look at everything they have to offer. And if you're looking to capture your moment in Disney World, then head on over to IGN.com slash rewards for a chance to win a five-day trip to Walt Disney World for free. But what is Capture Your Moment and what are the hidden gems behind Disney's Photopass? The Capture Your Moment session is available at all four of our parks, not just at Galaxy's Edge. It's an amazing time where you can get a session with a professional photographer one-on-one time to take those special pictures. So there's just lots of options for that Capture Your Moment session add-on that we have here at Disney Photopass. Well, I would love to learn about other experiences that Photopass has to offer. Absolutely. One of the things that a lot of people don't know about is we have our own portrait studios at Disney Springs. We have a portrait studio that has seasonal portrait studios where we change that backdrop and that setting three or four times a year. So you can come and get a different setting for that. We also have some really cool shots of the Super Zoom Magic Shot where we zoom in on your location and then pan out to see what's behind you in the background, as well as a Tiny World Magic Shot that is a 360-degree camera globe that has six cameras around it. And it takes one photo at all times. And we stitch it together into this fabulous shot that you can't really get anywhere else. So you can't bring that type of camera in with you to the park. And it's usually out of the reach for most photographers that have camera equipment. What's your favorite Photopass experience? I would have to say it's Magic Shots. Magic Shots are when we capture a photo and then we overlay something on it. Like if you're in France at Epcot, we have a Ratatouille character that we would add to your photo. And our photographers are there in the best locations to capture these photos. And then our cast members behind the lenses will take care of adding that magic for you. We offer over 100 different Magic Shots. So you can find your character that you like or a location that you like. One of our most popular shots is holding those quintessential Mickey balloons, right? So you look goofy. You're standing here on Main Street and you have your arm up and then all of a sudden your photo comes and now you have this bouquet of balloons right there in your shot. So it's really amazing. Magical, you might say. All of our photographers are equipped with a great photo rig we just upgraded to brand new Sony cameras. And in addition to that, we gave them a new computer on their hip. And that computer actually connects right through Wi-Fi to our app. And so when you get your photos taken, you can tap with your MagicBand or you can tap with your park ticket or even your phone. And that'll associate those photos to you and they'll come straight to your account on the Walt Disney World app. And to download them, you have to purchase what we call Memory Maker. It's a product that we sell with your vacation package here at Walt Disney World where you can download everything from one day or you can get it for your entire vacation at one price and download as many photos as you want from all of the photos that are taken. Thank you so much Jeff for speaking with me and I can't wait to try some more PhotoPass experiences. If you're looking to capture some magical memories at Walt Disney World, then head on over to IGN.com slash awards where you'll be able to enter for a chance to win a five-day trip to Disney World for four. If you could pick one spot to have your photos taken in Disney World, where would it be? Let me know in the comments down below and for all things Disney, keep it locked to IGN.
