Hey, Disney friends! If you’re lucky enough to be spending the Fourth of July weekend at Walt Disney World, there are even more magical memories waiting to be made. Along with all the special entertainment, festive treats, and patriotic celebrations honoring the 250th anniversary of the United States, Disney PhotoPass photographers are getting in on the fun with a collection of limited-time Magic Shots and themed photo opportunities. Available from July 3rd through July 5th, these exclusive photo ops are such a fun way to add a little extra sparkle to your holiday vacation, and I always think they make for the sweetest keepsakes from those special seasonal moments in the parks.
