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!

Disney often will come out with new PhotoPass offerings to celebrate holidays, special events, and EPCOT festivals. To celebrate being almost Halfway to Halloween, Disney World just released 2 New PhotoPass offerings in two of the parks!

Starting off in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a new PhotoPass lens that only works on Sunset Boulevard makes you feel like you’re back in 1939 on Halloween night!

Disney recommends you go far enough down Sunset Boulevard to hear the shrieks from the Tower of Terror. (Did you know those shrieks are pre-recorded? People on the ride aren’t actually that loud, even if you may feel like it when you’re screaming while dropping multiple stories!) This new PhotoPass lens is only available to guests through the My Disney Experience app who have purchased Genie+ for that day.

In Magic Kingdom, another spooky ride has upgraded its onboard photos!

Now, each time you ride the Haunted Mansion with the grim-grinning ghosts, a different friend will follow you home in each ride photo! As a reminder, there is no place to tap your MagicBand at the end of this ride, so Disney suggests either having your phone’s Bluetooth on during the ride (with low power mode off) or wearing a MagicBand that’s already connected to your Disney account.

Disney also shared that, ” This update at the Haunted Mansion is the first in our ongoing efforts to enhance onboard photos at some of your favorite Walt Disney World Resort attractions.” How exciting! We will keep you posted as Disney announced more on ride photo offerings!
