First of all, I had no idea where to post this. I hope it's okay for this thread to belong here

So I did some ads as a kid in the 80s/90s and I was featured in several ads for WDW.

One of them is below and it ran several times- once it was even up inside the Kodak shop in MK.

Now here's the thing- I'd really like to re-create it when I visit MK next week.

Any advice on how to contact someone to make this happen??? Thank you for any thoughts you might have on how I could get this done I don't want it to be a big deal- I wouldn't dress up or anything- but I'd love to recreate the pose with Snow White.

This sounds like it would be very hard to arrange. But maybe you could write to someone in the Disney marketing department... recreating a photo like this could be a fantastic post for their social feeds or blogs. I would probably start by sending a "tweet" to one of the WDW accounts that are responsive. Or emailing one of the contributors at the Disney Parks Blog.

I like this angle for creating a whole series of posts. Maybe even a whole marketing campaign encouraging guests to experience the magic all over again as an adult! They could help a series of people recreate old memories into new photos (not just models).

But yes, I agree that is incredibly cool that you got to do this as a kid!

Always loved that picture! I think your best bet would be to contact Disney's fine art photography division. They are in charge of the in park photo shoots. If anyone would be able to send you in the right direction it would be them. Their contact number is (407) 934-4004. I hope this helps.

Thank you both!

I did tweet to WDW but not sure if that was the best account.

And I sent a message via the contact form on the WDW site and they also said to contact the Fine Art Photography division. Maybe I will start there. Can't really pay for something like this but would love to do it!

Anyone have thoughts on most responsive Twitter accounts?
