The Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion will begin offering on-ride PhotoPass from today.

Haunted Mansion will now offer PhotoPass

Like other recent on-ride PhotoPass additions, there will be no preview screens at the attraction, and instead everything will be done electronically via My Disney Experience, the PhotoPass website, or at a PhotoPass center on property.

The on-ride pictures will be linked to a user's account via MagicBand recognition, so a MagicBand must be worn on the attraction for the image to be successfully linked.

Cameras for the PhotoPass capture are located near the beginning of the ride.

It’s a glorified photo booth. Disney could at least give us a countdown prior to the flash and an arrow pointing where to look.

But of course!

May we see the picture? 👻

This👆 Reading up on this prior to our trip 2 weeks ago I knew exactly where the photo would be. So we cheesed it up and enjoyed every minute of it. Because after all, who cares!? It's Disney. Live in the moment when you can and digress later. Also to note we barely noticed the flash though we were fully expecting it as well.......

Me too, it looked better all the way back in November like it was since 2007. But the new portraits were growing on me, but the new flash and the drapes around medusa seemed to have doubled in length and almost drag on the floor to hide the camera just looks like crap. I really hope it changes someday, but i doubt that greatly.

Fair point. I just see the irony in placing an on-ride photo in the flashing photos section. It makes sense to me. I get what you're saying though. It does seem, overall, an odd spot.

But that would entail voluntary guest participation (and probably CM interaction), and we all know how Disney doesn't like guests thinking while on vacation. Better to have things done automatically, so the guest doesn't have to think about it, like paying for things with Magic Bands. Oops, did I say that out loud? That wasn't supposed to be a secret, was it? ;)

Make me an offer I can't refuse...

Not to offend you (I can see you're a fan!), but I really don't get the obsession with the Hatbox Ghost. I'm glad Disneyland has him, but it's not like the Magic Kingdom version is lacking anything because of his absence.

The Hatbox GhostApr 14, 2019

From what I’ve seen here I like this, I think it’s a good addition. However I’m still waiting for the actual Hatbox Ghost to make his appearance in the attic at WDW (same effect they have in DL). Maybe this is a step in that direction?

They should move the camera to the clock that spookily goes to... 13!!!! I'd love to see what I look like rolling my eyes.

Well, I admit that the lightning effect does still work after all, although the painting's brightness make them less convincing as paintings IMO. My apologies, TDO.
