The free Disney Genie service will offer a digital assistant for planning your day in the park, while the paid Disney Genie+ will allow guests to use the Lightning Lanes for certain attractions. And as part of the offerings of Genie+, guests who purchase the new system will be able to use new PhotoPass lenses in the parks!
There’s a lot of fun PhotoPass opportunities around Disney World.

Disney PhotoPass also takes special “Magic Shots” that usually add in a character or prop for a special photo. There are 50th anniversary Magic Shots, Tiny World Magic Shots, and even Super Zoom shots that let you get a Birdseye view of a Disney Park. There’s a new one in Magic Kingdom so let’s check it out!
It’s finally here! Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration officially kicked off on October 1st, 2021, and we were there to soak it all in!
Disney World just turned 50!
Of course, the 50th Anniversary isn’t just a one-day party. Disney World is commemorating this historic milestone for 18-months, which means the odds are high that your next trip will take place during this celebration! If that’s the case, keep on reading so you can learn how to make the most of your 50th Anniversary Celebration vacation!
It’s 50th Anniversary season in Disney World and there’s a TON of new things to check out around the parks!

Disney’s PhotoPass is a great way to get awesome pictures of your vacation.
Say cheese!!
There are PhotoPass photographers all around the parks, and you’ll find photo ops (and maybe even some extra magical photo spots) during special occasions. Since today is the first day of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations, it definitely qualifies as a special occasion. But Disney is going even further than some fun backdrops today!
Hello, DFB friends! We’re here for more of what’s new at Magic Kingdom, and there’s a LOT.

As part of this season, a new Muppets Haunted Mansion Halloween special is coming to Disney+ on October 8th. The show will feature original songs, celebrity appearances, and, of course, lots of Muppets. You can watch the official trailer for it now. But Disney+ isn’t the only place where you’ll see Haunted Mansion Muppets — it’s planning to take over a popular Disney World attraction’s pre-show as well!
With all the excitement happening at Disney World in the coming weeks and months, don’t forget about the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
There’s so much to see!
This year’s fest started back in July and runs through most of November, and we’ve had some truly delicious eats “around the world” in EPCOT. The festival is also highlighted by exclusive merchandise, unique entertainment, and fun activities for the whole family. And now, there’s a special photo op just for visitors of Food & Wine!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
