New 'Capture Your Moment' service allows you to book an in-park PhotoPass session at the Magic Kingdom

Disney PhotoPass is launching a new service that allows you to book an in-park photo session at the Magic Kingdom.

'Capture Your Moment' is priced at $50, and that gets you 20 minutes with a PhotoPass photographer. At the start of your session, your photographer will share available photo shoot locations and discuss what you’d like to capture before escorting you to your photo shoot location.

If you need more time, you can book 40 minutes for $100, which gives you access at least two photo locations in the park.

It is important to note that prints and digital downloads are not included in the session cost. To gain access to your shoot, you will need to pay per image, or use a Disney PhotoPass entitlement like Memory Maker or Memory Maker One Day, as well as qualifying Annual Passholders with a Disney PhotoPass download benefit.

Bookings are available now via 407-939-7758 and are available starting February 10, 2020. A limited number of same-day reservations may be available starting February 10, but you must call 407-939-7758 to inquire.

We did photopasses the first few years we were there, but that was about it.

We went over to the Haunted Mansion on our session, but the sun that time of day is right in your eyes out front, so hard to get any good photos. We did take some in the extended queue without anyone else in them.

I’d do this if they allowed you to do this at the haunted mansion.

That kills it for us. It costs them virtually nothing to provide downloads.

I can see scenarios (family reunions, weddings, etc) where this would be genuinely helpful. I just wish Disney realised it feels scummy to charge for these services but not include prints.

Wait. The Cupcakes and Cameras event is coming soon.

DCL uses a third party photo provider on their ships. I don't think they print out all the pictures anymore. They are all digitally tied to your room card. They do sell a few different packages. 15, 20, 30 and unlimited but they are very pricey. You can either get them digitally or in print. It was funny that the print package was cheaper than the digital package.

Sorry, but when I first read this all that came to my mind was "Just another freakin upcharge event!"

Many people already are happy to pay the $159 for all the photos from their trip as they go to character meets etc. This is an add-on to that really.

Sorry, but I have trouble envisioning a "need" to pay someone $50 or $100 to take photos of my family that I'll have to pay even more to download and print.

It's a money grab but not any more than $99/head to eat a few treats and watch some fireworks from a roped off area surrounded by people who paid nothing. People will pay to save time. The market for proposals, anniversaries, sweet 16s, etc is worth Disney tapping into. People will also pay, within reason, for something more set-up than hoping to grab a random photographer. And the price isnt bad. Good luck finding a photographer to come to the park for $50. But the pricing is weird, you'd think they could upsell more easily do something like 20 mimutes $50, 40 minutes $80. Unless they instruct CMs to stop taking free photos, this fits a need without taking anything away from others.
