It’s Spring Break time so we’ve been experiencing tons of crowds, LOTS of new merchandise, and a new photo opportunity! Check out all the news here!
When you’re taking pictures in Disney World, you want to look your best, right? Well, between the rush back and forth across the parks and Florida’s uncooperative weather, we often end up with some less-than-flattering photos. (Seriously, why didn’t anyone warn us that our hair was THAT frizzy from the humidity?!) And don’t even get us started with the results when dad is in charge of the camera…let’s just say that you can probably expect a finger or two to block the lens.
Howdy, partner!
If you’re tired of rushed, unfortunate-looking photos, Disney has a solution that you might not have known about!
BLUE shrimp and a REAL lightsaber!? You’re going to want to be sure you have photo proof of it all when you stay at Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser! After all, you are paying $6,000 to be there — that earns you at least some bragging rights.

The new Disney “hotel” functions a lot more like a Disney cruise as opposed to a Disney Resort, as the cost includes a 2-night stay in a cabin or suite, most food and drink onboard, admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, valet parking, and a MagicBand, there are quite a few additional things that you can add onto your trip for an extra cost. This includes things like dining at the exclusive Captain’s Table, building your own droid or lightsaber when visiting Galaxy’s Edge, or a visit to Oga’s Cantina. And, now Disney has introduced ANOTHER add-on experience!
One of the most popular add-ons to a Disney World vacation is PhotoPass. This one-time purchase of $169 via Memory Maker (prior to arrival, or $199 in the parks after you arrive) gives you access to all of the digital downloads of pictures taken of you and the family while in Disney World, whether it’s an on-ride photo or a picture taken by one of Disney’s PhotoPass Cast Members.

There are some big changes coming with PhotoPass, however. Keep in mind that PhotoPass is NOT included with the new Genie+ service (instead, users get special augmented reality lenses to use while snapping pictures on your phone), nor does it come with Disney World’s new Annual Pass system — Annual Passholders who want PhotoPass on their next vacation, will have to purchase it separately for $99 per year, per pass.

Disney launched the Capture Your Moment photo sessions in Magic Kingdom last year as a new option for those creating special memories in Disney World. For $50, guests can get a 20-minute photo session in Magic Kingdom with a professional photographer — and now the offering is expanding to another park.
