New Additions Include Attraction Videos and Animated Magic Shots


While Walt Disney World Resort is the second most popular place in the world to take a selfie, (after the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France) it ranks first among the best places to get everyone in the picture, too, thanks to Disney’s PhotoPass Service.

Using the latest digital equipment and Disney-engineered technology, a team of Disney PhotoPass photographers take photos of guests enjoying time together inside the four Walt Disney World theme parks, meeting Disney Characters, during Disney Character dining experiences and near numerous iconic locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort.

The complimentary Disney PhotoPass service gives guests a convenient way to capture treasured moments with everyone in the picture together. When taking photos with a Disney PhotoPass Photographer, guests can associate their photos to their My Disney Experience account by touching their MagicBand, Memory Maker card, Disney PhotoPass card, or park admission ticket to a device that the photographer uses.

For photos and videos taken on attractions at Walt Disney World Resort, guests with a MagicBand will have their photos automatically associated to their account by simply wearing them while experiencing the attraction. If a guest does not have a MagicBand, they can manually associate their attraction photos (other than Seven Dwarfs Mine Train) by touching their park ticket or Memory Maker card to the photo touch point located next to their photo at the attraction preview wall.

The ability to share memories has never been easier thanks to the online component of Disney PhotoPass, MyDisneyPhotoPass.com. Guests’ vacation memories are linked together into one online account that they can access at their leisure to view, share and order photos.

A cool new Disney PhotoPass feature available at select Walt Disney World attractions captures guests experiences on video, letting them relive the excitement of the rollicking turns on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom or the thrilling drops on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Also new, Animated Magic Shots add some Disney animation to photo memories for guests. When visiting select locations at Walt Disney World theme parks such as behind Spaceship Earth at Epcot, guests can ask a Disney PhotoPass photographer for an Animated Magic Shot. Once they visit MyDisneyPhotoPass.com, they’ll be surprised to find that animation has been applied to their photo featuring a Disney Character.

Other enhanced Disney PhotoPass products and services are offered for Walt Disney World Resort guests, including:

Memory Maker — Now there’s an innovative way for guests to capture and relive the magical memories of their Walt Disney World vacation through the Disney PhotoPass Service product, Memory Maker. Memory Maker allows guests to collect, view, download and share all of the Walt Disney World vacation photos linked to their My Disney Experience accounts. Guests are able to download digital copies of every photo taken of them by Disney PhotoPass Photographers during their Memory Maker window for one price.

Guests with Memory Maker also can download images and other digital content from Family & Friends connections in My Disney Experience who choose to share their photos. Guests who purchase Memory Maker also will be able to download attraction videos and exclusive extras such as Animated Magic Shots.

Guests can purchase Memory Maker in advance of their vacation online for $169 plus tax, or purchase it once they arrive at Walt Disney World Resort at select merchandise locations for $199 plus tax or after their vacation by visiting DisneyWorld.com/Memory-Maker.

Memory Maker One Day — For guests visiting the Walt Disney World theme parks for a shorter time, a new Memory Maker One Day product is the perfect way to capture a day full of Disney memories. When guests purchase a 1-day Magic Your Way park admission ticket, they can add Memory Maker to their ticket for just $39.

With the Memory Maker One Day, guests will receive unlimited digital downloads for the day they use their ticket to enter the Walt Disney World theme parks, including downloads for all photos captured by Disney PhotoPass Photographers, at Disney Character Meet and Greet locations and select attractions and dining locations. Guests can purchase the Memory Maker One Day at Magic Kingdom Vacation Planning booths.*

PIXAR Place Expansion Coming Soon??

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour? It appears that area is destined to be home to a rather extensive PIXAR Place expansion. According to WDW News Today, we will likely see smaller, flat-rides developed for Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Resort in Paris and Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland including RC Racer, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, and the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Attractions in this area don't take us much real estate as these rides would require, so WDW News Today specula

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t
