A Hidden Gem: Cinderella’s Glass Slipper PhotoPass Opportunity
Sometimes the most magical moments at Disney happen when you step away from the rush. If you’re looking for a quiet pocket of wonder just outside Magic Kingdom, there’s a charming Disney PhotoPass experience tucked away inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and it feels straight out of a storybook.
On the second floor of the lobby, near the grand staircase, you’ll find a Cinderella’s Glass Slipper PhotoPass location. It’s one of those hidden gems many guests walk right past, but it’s worth slowing down for.
A Disney PhotoPass photographer will capture a series of beautiful shots featuring Cinderella’s glass slipper. You can pose as though you’ve just discovered it, hold it delicately, or let your kids marvel at it like they’ve stepped into their own fairytale.
This photo spot is usually open most of the day and doesn’t require a reservation, just stop by and let the photographer work their magic.
It’s a great way to pause, escape the crowds, and create a keepsake that feels extra special.
Tips for Visiting
Visit in the afternoon: The Grand Floridian lobby is often quieter in the early afternoon, making it an ideal time for photos.
Wear your park best: This spot makes a great backdrop for princess-inspired outfits or Disney Bounding looks.
Don’t forget Memory Maker: Photos taken here are included if you’ve purchased Memory Maker or if they’re linked to your account.
How to Get There
From Magic Kingdom, hop on the Resort Monorail and ride two stops to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Once you arrive via monorail, you will already be on the second floor. You’ll find the photographer near the balcony overlooking the main lobby.
It’s an easy, peaceful detour and a lovely reminder that Disney magic isn’t only found inside the parks.
Don’t just rush from one ride to the next.
The little in-between moments, like finding a glass slipper tucked inside a quiet resort lobby, are what make your Disney days feel magical long after you’ve gone home.
