    Good afternoon Magic Makers! My husband and I live in the Midwest and are seriously considering AP, and I have a question. How does the Photopass add-on work with AP? Can my family and friends still benefit from it if we are connected on MDE?

    Howdy Laryssa!

    Welcome back to planDisney. I’m so excited to hear that you and your family are looking to become Walt Disney World Annual Passholders! My family and I have been pass holders for the last several years, and we couldn’t be happier. There are so many great perks and extras that come along with being a passholder. I want to share a few of those with you, but first, let's get to your question.

    So I really think the Disney Photopass Downloads add-on to an Annual Pass is an incredible deal, especially since you get the benefit all year. According to the Disney PhotoPass Terms & Conditions, each Memory Maker Guest will have the ability to view and download or unlock unexpired shared Photo Content from up to 25 members on their Family & Friends list during their Memory Maker window. One thing to keep in mind is that guests will need a MagicBand+ to have their photos captured on rides like The Haunted Mansion and other select rides throughout the park.

    One of the best-kept secrets is the Disney PhotoPass Studio at Disney Springs. Here, you can capture the perfect family portrait in a professional indoor setting, with your choice of virtual backdrops to jazz up your shoot and fun props. 

    Once you obtain your Annual Pass, be sure to check out the passholder BUZZ section of the My Disney Experience app for the latest passholder news and information. In fact, the latest passholder magnet is now available at EPCOT and features characters from Toy Story. If you are visiting this summer, there are also a ton of VIP Passholder benefits and perks, including extra discounts at select dining locations and passholder-only merchandise. 

    Laryssa, I hope you will soon be able to display your magnet and have a magical year as an Annual Passholder. Please stop by planDisney anytime, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

    See ya real soon,
    Robert
