2023 photo archive: These Magic Shots were featured at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2023. The gallery preserves that season’s offerings and locations; it is not a list of guaranteed photo opportunities for a current party.
What are Halloween Magic Shots?
Disney PhotoPass photographers take your picture, then themed characters or effects can appear in the finished image. In 2023, the announced options included Donald Duck’s nephews, the Lonesome Ghosts and other Halloween characters. These effects are not the same as meeting a character in person.
Does Memory Maker include party photos?
Memory Maker is a photo-download product; it does not provide party admission. Eligible linked PhotoPass images taken during the product’s coverage period can be downloaded. Memory Maker One Day covers one defined photo day, while the standard product covers a longer activation window. Compare the terms before choosing.
Download your media before it expires—normally 45 days after capture. An advance-purchase Memory Maker has a three-day waiting period. A purchase does not guarantee that every attraction photo or Magic Shot will be captured.

How should you plan time for party photos?
Choose a few favorites rather than trying to collect every photo. Allow for queues and weather, and leave room for your preferred parade, show or rest break. Check that images link to the correct Disney account while you are still on your trip.
