Breaking NEWS PHOTO SESSIONS!!!!!! :-)

[DisneyJo]

Lovely photos Farrah, I've just ordered my PP CD and when it arrives I'll post some of ours. We had over 100 taken and the PP people couldn't have helped us more Personally I'm the same as you Farrah I didn't want to add any borders to my photoshoot photos as I felt they would spoil them!

Now, essentailly if you preorder the photo CDs you'll need 2- one for the parks and one for the photo session? And you can no longer add enhancemnets to the photo shoots? So, $100 for each CD and another $75 for the photo session? Bringing that to $275?

I believe (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) but you only need to preorder one cd and that is currently $100. Then you pay $75 for the resort photo session and they give you a cd of your resort portrait session immediately after the session so that you can no longer upload it to the Photopass site and make enhancements. There are some other twists as far as adding the resort pictures to your Photopass cd at the end of your trip but I haven't really looked into those.

I like the WL photos and I'm glad that heath-and-javens-mom posted the blurry picture since that is one of the disappointing things about the resort photo sessions and why I feel that a lot of people are slightly irked about the huge price increase.

Hey all! sorry i have been away for a week!! BUSY BUSY!!!

NEWS!!! Animal Kingdom Lodge Portraits are amazing!!!!

I'll post pix later! after i upload them!!! I have been very busy, and its hard for me to stay on a website message board for long amounts of time (this board requires soooo much attention, LOL). so i will off for long amounts of time, then randomly popping in to say hello. So ya know where to find me.

But i will post up photos so that you can see the new portrait location!! - so look for that post in a few days. Ta ta... back to busy times.... oh and the football game is on today!!!!! SCORE!

So, it is $75 and you get the photo shoot cd with the $75?
Another $100 if you want your PPass pix on it too then? So $175 total?

I am sorry, I am just confused. I go back & forth wondering if we should do this or not- more do-able at $175 then $275 obviously

Farrah - your portraits are amazing!! Your boys pics came out great, I like the ones by the water/stream, especially of your youngest! What time of day did you have them done? Some of the pic's are a little darker in the background, but the lanterns add a really nice touch! (I also like the boys names as noted in your user name!)

Toyota Kitten - I CAN NOT WAIT to see the Animal Kingdom Lodge photo's! I have been lurking on this board for quite some time and patiently waiting for pic's of both WL and AKL...although the longer I lurk and wait, the harder my choice is getting!

Thank you very much.
Our session was at 7pm...I think It is a perfect time. I have MANY blurry pics but didnt think anyone would want to see them. I think that if we had a better photographer it would be well worth the NEW price, but as I have stated..Im very glad we got in before the price went up ONLY because our pics were blurry, there wernt very many different backgrounds and I felt rushed with my photographer. I do think that the WL photo session is a good one if you get a good photographer..there are sooo many nice spots there for pictures.

I believe (I'll have to look back through this thread for more definite info) that in order to get the photo session for $75 you have to preorder the cd. I would assume that the resort photo session is more expensive if you don't preorder the cd because WDW wants you to spend more money. I'm not sure how much it is if you don't preorder the cd.

Cost to pre-order PARK Photopass CD = $99.95
Cost for Resort Photo Shoot if Park Photopass CD is pre-ordered = $75
Cost for Resort Photo Shoot if Park Photopass CD is NOT pre-ordered = $150

Regardless of Park Photopass pre-order, your Resort Photo Shoot pictures will be placed on a CD at the time of your Photo Shoot. You CAN NOT add enhancements to these photos.

If you only want one CD of all pics from your trip, at the end of your vacation, you can take your PARK Photopass cards to a Resort Photopass Kiosk and they will add all of your PARK photos to a CD with your Resort Photo Shoot pictures for an additional $50. You CAN NOT add enhancements to your Park Photos if you have this done. You do not need to order the Park Photopass CD in order to have this done.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have additionaal questions.

Thank you for posting this. I got sidetracked while going back through this thread with fun things like laundry (blech) so I'm glad you posted that info.

desiab -- great shots! The one with the girls is so pretty and the kissing one with the kids is hilarious!

We did a Poly photoshoot a couple of weeks ago and I just got the CD today. I wish he would have set up a couple of pictures better, but I did get some nice shots, our photographer was really nice and it was quick, painless and inexpensive!

Here are the best ones.

Could you give me an idea of how much these run? Thanks in advance

I wanted to share my experience. We had our portrait session done last week at Poly. We got in on the $25 rate and I'm glad I only paid $25 because I was very disappointed with the pictures. We had a 7 pm appointment and several of the pictures taken outside look as though it were the middle of the night. A few of them didn't even turn out because it was so dark. We had 43 pictures taken and make 3 turned out great. The wind started blowing real hard while we were outside so many of the pictures turned out bad because my daughter's hair was all in their face. But when he suggested we go inside, I figured he would take more inside to make up for the too windy conditions outside. Inside, we only had 4 pictures taken. Now we were able to have the pictures put on our photopass card and I haven't ordered the CD yet. We had 304 pictures taken so I'm slowly getting through all the editing and adding borders. Once I get the CD, I'll post pictures.

I too had a bad experience at Poly. Very disappointed in the pictures and the photographer. We were rushed because of a storm coming in and the pictures show it. We had pictures taken inside and when we saw how bad it was outside I asked about having more done inside, but she said we had already used the only spot they take them. Our hair was blowing every which way, the poses were stupid and many times the flash was too bright and whited out our faces.

well I'm a little worried now since my pictures are next Wednesday at the Poly

 

[Twinkler]

We have pictures next week at the GF. I hope things aren't getting rushed.

If you want great pics done, call the WL desk and ask specifically for Dallas. She has her own photo business and does family portraits for a living and takes pics at the WL twice a week. She was amazing and took the best pictures. out of 99 pictures, there were only four that I didn't like! I should be getting my CD in a few days so if someone would be kind enough to tell me how to post my pictures, I'd love to post some of my favorites
