I'm so glad you were able to fix the link Get Glowing - your pics are fabulous!
Your pics are great too, heath&javins'mom!
That Photopass shoot sure looks to be worth the money!

Wow great WL pics, looks really nice and looks like you picked a good time of day to do it

 

[2diamonds&a~gem]

Ohh Farrah! Thanks so very much~ those look great.

See you soon I am sure, we will be the nuts in the pool every day even though it is too chilly for it. Or the mama dragging her kid from the kids club.

Have safe travels!

I think I got the links fixed so that my photos show in the post #2072 above.

I'll be happy to answer any questions about doing a shoot at the Poly!

I can see your pictures and they look great! Thanks for sharing.

I never know what to wear for family pictures. Lands End is a great idea!

have a wonderful holiday!

Just back - did a photo session at Wilderness Lodge on the 1st.
We did the $99 - got the cd, and 2 8x10's, 3 5x7's we chose.

Our photographer, who I can't recall his name - was FANTASTIC! Very patient with my autistic son and took TONS of pictures and really spent the time with us and got us a lot of variety, too.
The kids really enjoyed doing this, they really had fun with it!

Was going to do my typical holiday pictures at the mall - and then after reading about the photo sessions on here, said you know what, let's try something different! we were staying at WL, and thought oh, that would be perfect for family holiday pictures!
We were also very happy with the quality of the pictures, too!

Here's a few - we also took some indoors at the Christmas tree and other indoor locations.

I like the above shot - but my son was peaking into it! We did get better shots at the bride, but posted this one to show how pretty with the bridge and the lodge in the background.

Back in 2005 my DH and I booked a photo session at Epcot. We were taken into World Showcase prior to the park opening. We got a leather bound photo album. I know this was more $$$ than the current resort photo sessions.

My question is: Do they still offer the theme park photo sessions? I'd love to do one in the MK this summer with my DH and our kids. We're celebrating our 10 year anniversary and this would be such a great way to commemorate that!

Thank you for your help!

When is the best time of day to schedule a session? Would it be late afternoon when the sun is not as strong?

We're thinking of doing this in January with our 6-month old. Did those who have had this experience feel that this would be a good idea? We'd be doing portraits of her as well as family shots. And where do you recommend doing it? We're staying at AKL but I like the shots at the Poly and GF so far.

 

[roomthreeseventeen]

Thinking of scheduling this during our last day at WDW, which we're planning on using as a swim/tennis/last minute MK stuff... we're at GF.

 

[Belleandtinker]

Is there an official page/link on this? If so, can you help me out.

Is there an official page/link on this? If so, can you help me out.

I actually haven't seen anything on Photopass's website about it even existing. We did book the Beach Club for January for "Mommy and Me" pictures of my daughte and me. I am really looking forward to it.

 

[Cinbride]

So I got an email to preorder the cd. Can i go ahead and order it and use it for a session? Do I need to call in advance to schedule? With 2 lil' ones I never know what kind of mood they will be in. Maybe in the morning after breakfast? going in feb, what to wear?

 

[Stefy]

Is there anything special you need to do to get the email for the preorder cd?

CinBride - You can book your session 30 days in advance I believe. What resort are you doing the session in?

 

[Cinbride]

We are staying onsite. I believe if you are staying onsite you will get an email from disney destinations w/ the link inside. We are staying at WL.

So then I can go ahead and book a session and preorder my photopass, then use it at the session? Is there any extra costs?

 

[Stefy]

Oh right cool, we are staying on site too so hopefully will get it before we go. Thanx

If you preorder the CD, that is just for park photos etc not the photo sessions. Those cost extra, but you get a good discount if you preorder the photo cd. In 2008 it cost us $50 for our session at the Poly.

With regards to booking the session, if you are going within the next 30 days you should be able to book it now.

Hope that helps/clarifies.

 

[Cinbride]

thanks. Yes watch for emails from Disney

 

[DisneyRN51207]

We did this last week. Had the basic session which was usually 100-ish dollars, but since we're DVC it was $20 off. Really enjoyed the Beach Club despite the 40 degree weather. We got the pre-order discount through DVC Member services but didn't place the order until just now. After photosession, was given card with session photos which I added to my CD successfully so will have park photos as well as photoshoot photos on same CD.

 

[flipflopmom]

Can you elaborate on what is offered for DVC? I think I read somewhere about a price break on preordering cd, but what we would be the total cost if we preordered cd and did a resort photo session?

 

[DisneyRN51207]

The discount for preordering the CD is over from what they told me when I asked about it. For DVC you get 20% off the 199.95 or whatever package it is. This includes the shoot and photos. There's an option with an 8x10, a few 4x6's and 5x7's one with 7-5x7's and i don't remember what the third package is. All of the photos are put on a CD with high resolution and you get the rights to the photos to make whatever copies you would like. I did order a single print from our in-park photos and get 20% off that as well.
