New Disney Cruise Magic Shots add a layer of, well, magic to the photography onboard your favorite Disney Cruise Line ship.
Disney Cruise Line has been building toward the maiden voyage of its newest ship, the Disney Wish, next year, introducing new interactive elements and the coolest water slide aboard a ship I’ve ever seen.
But Disney Cruise Imagineers haven’t put all their attention on the Wish. Regardless of which ship you board, you’ll now have the ability to take advantage of Magic Shots, a beloved park PhotoPass feature that puts your favorite Disney characters, magically, into your family photos.

Disney Cruise Magic Shots Details
As of now, DCL is only offering Magic Shots aboard ships with Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries. To get a Magic Shot, just ask a photographer onboard the ship or on the island if they are able to add in a character. Not every photographer will be able to do this, but they can certainly point you to locations on the ship where this is possible.
You can purchase your Magic Shot photos like all other Disney Cruise photos: either digitally or printed at Shutters. Magic Shots are included as part of the unlimited digital photo package.
Hot Tip: Book your digital photo package in advance for a 15% discount.
