Photopass Photographer Locations

[jhaig]

Is there an app or some other place to find the locations of Photopass photographers in the parks? It would be nice to know where you can get photos ahead of time instead of trying to search them out or just get lucky finding them.

The MDE app has a Photopass "button" (look at top), which lists the locations. However it just gives you a general location (example: Agrabah Bazaar, Adventureland).

You can also look on the Disney Website, select Maps (under Parks & Tickets). Select wich park you want and then select "Guest Services" under Activities. On the displayed map you will see a small camera on tripod icon.

In all honesty though neither one of these is very efficient.

These might help also:

In my experience, they are not hard to find AT ALL. They are in very obvious uniforms, in mostly very obvious locations. They are difficult to miss.

There is a map at the bottom of the page here -> https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/photo-pass-service/ But the descriptions are indeed a little vague as most of the photographers have some ability to float around a particular area. Not every location will be used at all times. Most are character m&g locations, or areas that are nearby something that would make for a good backdrop. And even the ones that are at a m&g location will often hang around the general area to take pictures before/after the character set. For instance, in Epcot with the exception of the France fountain and International Gateway bridge, they are all listed as character locations. Yet I have had PP take my picture without characters in every country except for US and Norway. The locations in the map are usually a good bet to find photographers, but they may be in other random spots depending on the day. If you simply keep your eyes open as you walk around you can easily spot them.
