5 Favorite EPCOT International Festival of the Arts Photo Ops

During the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, guests can celebrate the art of photography with themed photo ops from January 13 through February 20, 2023!

There are quite a few places around EPCOT to capture works of art during the festival with Disney PhotoPass Service, but here are five of our favorites!

Figment Magic Shots

Magic Shots are all about using our imagination, which of course leads us to Figment! This year, we’re introducing three new Magic Shots inspired by everyone’s favorite playful dragon. Guests can find these Magic Shots at the following locations:

  • Figment Wings: Most Disney PhotoPass locations in EPCOT
  • Figment Chalk Art: At the main entrance to the park and near the entrance to World Showcase under the Monorail beam
  • Figment Flying: Most Disney PhotoPass locations in EPCOT

 

Tiny World Magic Shot: Festival of the Arts Edition

This 360-degree shot near the main entrance of the park (now available both during the day and after dark!) has quickly become a fan favorite, so we’re giving it a bright splash of color during the festival. Even if guests have taken this photo before, be sure they stop by for this limited-time edition.

 

Artful Step-in Frames

All around EPCOT, guests can literally step into works of art. The more they have fun with it, the better their photos will be! Disney PhotoPass photographers will be at select locations to help guests strike a perfect pose.  

 

Paintbrush Prop + Magic Shot

No, these Magic Shots aren’t a figment of our imagination! After 6 p.m. at the main entrance of the park, a photographer can offer guests a special prop that creates a beautiful light painting Magic Shot when the photo appears in their gallery. Art made easy!

 

Pixel Stick

When the sun goes down, the famous pixel stick comes out! Guests can bask in the glow of the light while a photographer creates a painting around them. Every photo taken through this method is a completely unique work of art. It’s available near Creations Shop on the pathway to World Showcase. When guests see a giant light-up stick being masterfully twirled around, they’ll know they’re in the right place.

Guests can easel-y download and share these and all of the other Disney PhotoPass photos and videos from their entire visit by purchasing Memory Maker or Memory Maker One Day entitlement.

New Jungle Cruise Photo-Op Now Available in Disney Springs

Ahead of the official premiere of Disney’s “Jungle Cruise” movie starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt on July 30, Disney Springs has added a new photo op area near the AMC Dine-In Theatre.

The area includes a large backdrop featuring the story’s main characters Lily Houghton and Skipper Frank Wolff adventuring their way on a boat, as well as a smaller movie poster to the right.

In front of the characters you can also find a cut-out of the film’s logo and premiere date that are placed at the tip of the boat. Guests can stand behind this in their photos to appear as if they are exploring with the main characters.

TRON Lightcycle Ride Vehicles Photo Op Installed at Magic Kingdom

Guests visiting the Magic Kingdom today were surprised by two ride vehicles and a photo op for the TRON Lightcycle Run roller coaster, opening at the park in 2021. Located outside of Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. in Tomorrowland, this advertisement for the upcoming attraction is sure to intrigue many a guest.

What was most surprising about the ride showcase was that the ride seems to be sponsored by Enterprise Rent-A-Car. While the version at Shanghai Disneyland is sponsored by Chevrolet, many attractions recently built Walt Disney World attractions have not had sponsors.

There is also a diagram next to the ride vehicles that depicts how guests will board the vehicles at the station when the ride opens. While there are ropes around the ride vehicles right now, the “Loading Procedure” sign makes it seem that guests may be allowed to try out the ride vehicles in the near future.
