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

[yellowfish78]

The jury is still out on that. Some resorts have allowed it but that was for sessions booked before the big changeover. I don't know if anyone has tried booking a session AFTER the changeover using their confirmation at a resort other than GF.

Anyone?

I'm booked at the WL for the $25 rate and it was booked after the price change. They are honoring the price for any resort if you bring your email with you.

Does anyone know if the pre purchase cd still contains the $25 offer?

Yes, I would like to know this too.

That is good to know. We had a photoshoot at the GF in May and I'd love to get another one in a couple of months at a different resort, probably SSR.

So now the price is $75 instead of $25? Is there any way to get the cheaper price???

Does anyone have any pics from the AKL photo shoot??

We are staying there in December and I am trying to decide where to get our photos done this time, We have already done the Grand Floridian on our last trip.

I'm leaning towards Beach club or Saratoga... Any advice??

I would like to see photos as well. We may try a split stay between AKL and Wilderness Lodge and we may do a photo session again as well. We have already done the Grand Floridian and the Poly one.

There are AKL pic's back on pg92 of the thread, thanks to Carone0318! They are really nice photo's!

I have a couple of questions, I called today to book my photoshoot but was not sure where exactly to call. I tried (407)WDW-PLAY, and they had no idea what I was talking about. They then put me thru to Switchboard, who put me thru to a photographic dept who asked me if I wanted photo's for a wedding or for a family? I said family and she directed me to "Ashley" where I left a voicemail to book the photoshoot. Did anyone else go thru so many hoops to book their session?

Secondly, and a question I was going to ask when I spoke to a CM who knew what I was talking about.........but it looks like I have to ask you guys, the experts (!!) do you know if they do photo sessions on the weekend?

TIA!

We did our session on 9/22 at the Beach Club. We got 68 photos, which was pretty good with a 4.5 and a 2.5 year old. I am sad that we couldn't get any outside shots, since it was raining out. Overall, the experience was good, worth the $25, but I probably wouldn't pay more for it.

Just got back yest. (9/27). We had our pictures sunday 9/21 at wilderness lodge. All I can say the tuned out FABLOUS. Friday we had then taken at AKL not so good. Alot of the pictures were blurry. We wanted family pictures not individual. She had my husband and I even take them seperatly. ?????
WL gave us a photopass card and burned us a cd. AKL only gave us a photopass card. When I asked if I could have a cd they told me they are not doing that any more you can get that with the photopass cd.. I persisted on getting a cd then they did. We did experianced alot ot people stopping the photogragher and asking them to take pictures of them in the lobby or outside. I guess people don't know much of the photosessions. I guess they think that is why disney put them there to take pictures at the resort like at the parks.
I will post our pictures when my DH shows me how to attachments. ( I guess I am not as hightec as I thought

Just got back today and my session was a 25.00 one, done at the Poly. We did not get a cd copy but was told to add my pics online to the photopass.
We got 72 pics and maybe 3 are what I consider "good". We had no indoor photos, all outdoor ones for some reason.

Just my 2 cents.

we just made it back and in our experience, the AKL just wasn't worth the money. Our photographer, Justin, just didn't quite have it all together as we asked for family pictures. Pictures were blurry, he kept photographing just our daughter (even after I asked him several times for family pics) and the setting he used just weren't all that attractive. He seemed rushed the entire time. Out of 40 pictures maybe, there is a couple of our daughter but not one of our family I would classify as nice. The time was 7pm so there wasn't any squinting

As for our poly shoot...simply wonderful! Out of 62 pictures, there isn't a bad one in the bunch. A couple of them are superb!!! It was so relaxed and he took first the family pic then a shot or two of just our daughter. He spent 30 minutes with us and it really shows with the pictures. Our time was 10am but our photographer really knew what he was doing and no squinting. I wish I could remember his name because he was exceptional!


With our GF-yes, we were out for some pictures this time...lol- about 50-50. The girl knew what she was doing...always checking our daughter's braids so they were both forward or backward, straighting her skirt, straightening a collar or tucking that bra strap..LOL..but she went above in making sure things were right before snapping the shot. The only down fall was it was a 11:30am shoot and the sun was blazing.

I would definitely recommend the Poly and GF but no way when it comes to the AKL. I think its still to new and they need more practice and see what scenery makes a better background.

As soon as I get our CD, I'll post pictures for all.

I haven't posted my pictures of BC yet, but overall, I do believe the BC pictures were better because of Dallas. She was an excellent photographer and that really made the difference.

We just got back late last night. We did a photo session at Poly and GF. We also had Dallas at the Poly shoot. She was wonderful! I am going through the pictures now. We had over 100 pictures from GF and around 150 from the Poly. I will post them when I get them uploaded.
