Disney announced this week that they are expanding their photo pass system to include ride photos and other photos that were kept separate before.
While this seemed harmless on the surface something didn’t seem right so I looked into it.
It turns out that the Photo Pass system is being enhanced in ways no one anticipated. Disney’s goal is to truly capture the Disney Vacation like never before. Disney wants you to be able to relive your memories through the photos you purchase.
How is Disney going to do this?
Disney has installed hidden cameras everywhere so ensure that there is nothing you can do on your vacation that they cannot capture. Cameras have been hidden in:
- The toll booths, parking lots, and traffic lights to capture all of your happy road rage memories.
- The ticket booths to capture you jaw drop when you find out how much it costs for your family of four to see Mickey.
- The bill folds they deliver your bill in at the table service locations. The look on your face when you see how much a Disney buffet cost is priceless.
- In the restrooms so you’ll remember where all that great food you ate on the dining plan ended up.
- In all of the stores so you can remember when you child threw a temper tantrum when you would not buy them insanely overpriced merchandise.
- In the showers so you can remember when you belted out for favorite tune to that bottle of Mickey Mouse shampoo.
- In the Mickey Ice Creams so you can see the inside of your mouth and chart it’s path through your body.
- In the pools so you can see the spot where you kid peed instead of going to the bathroom.
- In the Dole Whips so they can capture you mixing in that vodka nip you snuck past security.
- In the Hall of Presidents so you can remember when you took a nap.
As a bonus a cast member will sneak into your room after you fall asleep so you can have some nice photos of you after spending 12 hours in a theme park with over tired children, a spouse whose feet blistered after a few hours, and after you forgot the sun screen and got a raging sun burn.
With the updates to the system all Disney World vacationers will finally have the opportunity to relive every moment of their trips through the photos.
For everyone who does not purchase the Photo Pass Disney is setting up a new website where their most embarrassing moments will be shared with everyone.

Photo Pass
I pulled off a difficult task on my last trip to Disney World. I didn’t have a single photo taken that ended up on Disney’s Photo-pass. That really surprises some people because they claim the photo pass people are everywhere. I must have gone during the Photo Pass people strike because I only remember seeing one photo pass person.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not at all upset that I didn’t get any photo pass pictures. Photo Pass people take pictures of people. I think that’s why I either ignore or avoid them. When you have a receeding hairline and are forty pounds over weight that last thing you want is a picture of yourself.
Maybe I’m wrong when I say this but I think Disney does a good job with photo pass. I don’t remember being assaulted by anyone trying to take my picture. Some people laugh and say “Why would you?” Those people are called land lovers. They’ve obviously never been on a cruise. There have been times that I thought one of the ships photographer was going to stab me in the throat if I didn’t stop to have my picture taken. They also tend to stick those people in places you have to walk by. You can’t avoid them. I don’t mind though. If you want an awful picture of me you can keep it, just don’t make me take it home.
Another reason I didn’t end up with any photo pass pictures is because I didn’t take any pictures with any characters. It just didn’t happen. It’s kind of sad. It was something I’ve always done. I’ve always had at least one picture with a character on all my trips but not this last time. I guess that saves me a little embarrassment. No one can laugh at me for looking like an overweight tool standing next to Minnie Mouse.
