How do I link photos to my Disney Account?

Just scan your DisneyBand or Card - it's that simple!

On-Ride Photos

When you disembark a ride you’ll see a wall of screens showing the photos that were taken.

If you are wearing a DisneyBand, you don’t need to do anything - attraction photos & videos automatically link to your My Disney Experience account.

If you don’t have a DisneyBand, just scan your card on the touch point next to the preview screen that displays your photo

With Disney Photopass Photographers

Whenever you have a picture taken by a photographer, they’ll make sure to scan your band or card.

How do I get a DisneyBand?

Currently only people staying at a Disney Resort on-site hotel get free DisneyBands, but they’re also available to purchase for about $13 at various points around the Disney Theme Parks.
