What rides at Disneyland take your photo?

Disneyland Rides With Photos
  • Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!
  • Radiator Springs Racers.
  • Incredicoaster.




At the Disneyland Resort in California, several attractions feature "on-ride" photo capture systems that link to your Disney PhotoPass account. At Disneyland Park, these include the high-speed thrills of Space Mountain, the log-flume drop of Tiana's Bayou Adventure (which replaced Splash Mountain), and the encounters with the Yeti on Matterhorn Bobsleds. Over at Disney California Adventure, you'll get your photo taken during the high-speed launch and "loop-de-loop" of Incredicoaster, the high-stakes race through the desert on Radiator Springs Racers, and the unpredictable drops of Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!. Additionally, the interactive Toy Story Midway Mania! captures your final score along with a candid photo of your competitive game face. In 2026, these photos are included for digital download if you have purchased the Lightning Lane Multi Pass (the service that replaced Genie+). To ensure your photo is linked, you can either tap your MagicBand+ or park ticket at the monitors near the ride exit, or rely on the "Automatic Link" feature in the Disneyland app, which uses Bluetooth technology to recognize your device as you pass the camera point during the ride.
