Festive PhotoPass Fun at Walt Disney World Resort
Originally published at Disney Parks News
I’ve lived in Florida for many years, so I’ve become very spoiled by our pleasant weather around the holidays. I especially love visiting Walt Disney World Resort this time of year because I can enjoy a winter wonderland without having to put on layers of clothing to brave frigid temperatures. Snow boots? Not around these parts. Here I wear festive flip-flops!
But when looking at my photos taken around Christmastime at Walt Disney World Resort, you’d have no idea I wasn’t right in the middle of the North Pole. The holiday atmosphere here is so warm and cozy. (Not just because of the weather!). And Disney PhotoPass photographers love making your photos even merrier with some holly-jolly props, Magic Shots, and more!
Below, check out some of my favorite photo ops available this holiday season. From Disney PhotoPass Service around Walt Disney World Resort. And note where photographers will be capturing each of them.

If you’ll be attending Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom Park, don’t miss these photo ops below, which are available exclusively during the event (weather permitting).
I know that’s a lot of information, but don’t worry – you don’t need to make a list or check it twice. I always recommend asking each photographer you visit which Magic Shots and props they have available at their location. It’s the easiest way to capture a large variety of photos.
