As we have all heard, Disney has replaced a few in-person photograph locations with the new Photo Opp boxes. It was quite the shock to hear this news and left many fans wondering what this meant for the future of Disney. We still do not know the answer to this question, but we do have a sneak-peek of one of the photo opp boxes at Magic Kingdom.
While we weren’t sure what we were going to see when Disney finally rolled out this new addition, it was safe to say most everyone agreed that they did not want to see just a black box. Maybe Disney listened? As you can see here they are at least camouflaged into the scene surrounding Tinker Bell. Using the same wallpaper forest scene the camera sets away from the wall enough that you know it is there, but hidden enough that it is not a huge eye sore.
The Photo Opp Box camera takes continuous shots as guests interact with Tinker Bell, potentially capturing those unforgettable moments guests don’t generally capture on camera. Guests will still have the opportunity to pose with the character as well, so don’t feel as if you are going to lose that aspect with the new Photo Opp Boxes.
Once your interaction is done during your meet and greet, guests will continue on to a small kiosk. The kiosk will display all your photos the new Photo Opp boxes capture during your encounter. After you view your photos you will have the opportunity to scan your magic band to add your photos to your memory maker package. If you do not have Memory maker a special ticket will print out to collect your photos another time.

I’m okay with it as long as a human still takes posed photos??? My special needs daughter will not understand the box camera and how you pose for it. I don’t think young kids will either.
That looks so impersonal.
