Disney Teams Up with Snapchat to Offer Augmented Reality Pics

Together with Snapchat, Walt Disney World is planning to bring a magical augmented reality experience to your Disney PhotoPass photos that will also feature some of your favorite Disney characters.

The Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Lenses will be available in the Snapchat app (download on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store) only at Walt Disney World Resort, but to celebrate the launch – and other special experiences to come! – you can try them at home, anywhere in the U.S., until June 3rd. 

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Walt Disney World Resort, Disney PhotoPass and Snap are working to virtually transform Cinderella Castle within your photos.

Using the My Disney Experience app, you’ll be able to place your favorite image captured by Disney PhotoPass photographers on the iconic castle with augmented reality. Look through your camera lens in the app and you’ll see a beautiful mosaic of special moments shared by other guests to celebrate the 50th Anniversary. Take a look at the video below to see how it will work.

We’ve heard all about transformations coming to the parks’ icons, special costumes for Mickey and Minnie, and even new name tags for Cast Members! But now, in a collaboration between PhotoPass and Snapchat, there’s a way for guests to get in on the fun.

NEW augmented reality lenses have arrived on Snapchat — and they let you interact with Mickey and Minnie! These pals can give you a digital hug, make gestures, and more.

While the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse lenses will only be available on Snapchat while you’re physically in Disney World, you can access them from home for a limited time! Until June 3rd, these lenses will be available everywhere to celebrate the launch (and yup, we’re gonna spend WAY too long testing ’em out). You can find them on the Disney PhotoPass Snapchat profile!

Disney ALSO gave us a peek at other exciting collaborations with Snapchat that are on the way, like a virtual transformation of Cinderella Castle (what?!) to create “a beautiful mosaic of special moments shared by our guests.” Pick your favorite picture to put on the castle — and each time you return during the 18-month 50th anniversary celebration, your photo will be there! You can learn more in the video below:

This is a pretty cool way to celebrate the big 5-0, don’t ya think? Let us know if you give these fun lenses a try, and stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news!
