IMG_20181115_070817

Disney is set to roll out automated cameras to take your photo instead of PhotoPass photographers at select meet and greet locations.

Instead of a PhotoPass Cast Member, an automated camera will be located in the room to take photos of your interaction with the character.

At the moment, there are 9 different meet and greet locations planned that will utilize the technology.
