Step into Famous Works with PhotoPass at the Epcot International Festival of the Arts

Have you ever seen a painting set a scene so perfectly that you wish you could just walk right into it? If so, you are in luck. Whether you are an avid art aficionado or just a fan of far-out photos, Disney’s PhotoPass service has you covered.  At this year’s Epcot International Festival of the Arts you’ll have the ability to become part of some of history’s most famous works.

On top of some more traditional Photopass opportunities, the Festival of the Arts is offering event-exclusive Animated Magic Shots which introduce your historical photo-bomb with some curtains and classical music.
