Hey friends! When you’re in the middle of a Walt Disney World vacation, it can sometimes feel impossible to slow down long enough to stop for photos. I know I’ve been guilty of spotting a PhotoPass photographer with only a short line ahead and still thinking, ‘We’ll come back later.’ Between Lightning Lanes, dining reservations, character meet-and-greets, and racing across the parks to fit everything in, those few extra minutes can feel surprisingly difficult to spare. In the moment, stopping for a photo can feel like one more thing on an already packed to-do list.
But I’ve learned over the years that those photo opportunities aren’t taking time away from your vacation, they’re investing in the memories you’ll carry home with you. Long after the snacks have been eaten and the suitcases unpacked, it’s those photos that bring the magic rushing back. A single image can instantly transport you to that exact moment: the laughter, the excitement, the people you shared it with, and all those little details that time tries to steal away. That’s especially true with Disney’s Magic Shots, which add an extra sprinkle of pixie dust to your vacation memories. So let’s take a look at some of the new and current Magic Shots that are available throughout Walt Disney World right now!
Leaning Tower of Cheeza: EPCOT
This Magic Shot is available from the Disney PhotoPass photographer located in the Italy pavilion.
Timon & Pumbaa: Disney’s Animal Kingdom
There’s no time for LION around when you’re exploring Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park! Available from Disney PhotoPass photographers stationed in the following locations:
– by the Lion King statue near Pizzafari
– near Creature Comforts by the Tree of Life Gardens sign
– in the Harambe Market area in Africa
Pirate Dog: Magic Kingdom
This Magic Shot is available from the Disney PhotoPass photographer located near Pirates of the Caribbean.
Merlin: Magic Kingdom

Bluey Magic Shots: Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Available at the entrance of the park before the ticket windows, and next to the Discovery River on the pathway between Africa and Asia at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Those Bluey shots are so fun for families who are fans of this Australian animated series. And, I am so in love with that Merlin Magic Shot that I want to go back just to get that one!
