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

[Stefy]

Cool, thanx for that

What I am wanting to do is ask what the Poly, WL, AKL and BC (what locations they take pics in etc).

Also, what are the photo sessions in the parks like?

 

[marbella_chris]

yeah, i think if you call that number and go thru to any desk they will assist.

i dont think you can do private sessions within the parks though, thats just a case of getting the photopass photographers to take your pic in the usual places - mainstreet usa etc....

 

[Twilight Terror]

Right, I have made the decision to book at WL photo shoot just before our meal at Whispering Canyon Cafe! Wish me luck!

On a side note, I know that this could be a lot of work for someone, but mods or OP, is there any way we can edit the first post of this thread to have a sort of FAQ bit where all the regular questions and information is - like phone numbers, locations, times, etc instead of having to trawl through so many pages? Might mean new people to the thread can also find the stuff they need quickly? Just a thought

 

[Olivia'sMom]

I remember finding some where the phone to call but I can't find it now. Can someone help me? Also what kind of proof do you need that you pre ordered the CD?

Thanks,
Candy

I ordered my CD and booked my photo session at GF but only because I couldn't book AKL. I want AKL and asked them if they could PLEEEESE (my best whine) take our pictures there. The CM said that they were having a meeting about AKL and they would try accommodate us. Because we are so close to the start date and they have been known to start early, he says we may be able to be some sort of "trial run" family. I'm thinking . I had to book at another resort because the system is not set up for AKL bookings yet but all of my information, including that I really want AKL has been documented. Needless to say, I am very excited. I'll be sure to post pictures right away.

Sounds like my hubby recording over the video of bringing our first child home from the hospital. I now am the proud owner of an episode of the west wing instead.

He owes you for the rest of his life and a little bit in the hereafter.

anyone have BC pics yet?? i am depserate!!!!!! I must see them by next week so I can book !!!

 

[Lizzy Lemon]

we just booked for 14th september at beach club.

i guess it depends on your CM, although we are in the UK, and they were helpful because of the cost of international call charges so took the booking early.

yey !!!!

Haven't you heard of the cheap 1p per minute numbers?

 

[BelleLovesTheBeast]

Ok. Hubbie and i did BC session. We were inside and out. We just ordered our CD as we were part of a group. When my CD arrives I'll post some pics of BC photo shoot.

I can't wait to see them! Thanks for sharing!

I'm trying to decide between BC and GF. I've got one month exactly before I can book.

When you arrive do they tell you the places were they can shoot?
Do they show you photos so you have an idea of what they look like?

 

[ireland_nicole]

You could do what I did; I booked GF, Poly and BC; I'm only planning on keeping two, but they said I can cancel, and I couldn't wait for pics- as soon as I see some from BC, I'll know whether to keep BC or GF.

 

[Praise2Him]

if we book 2 differents photos sessions (one at the BC and one at the GF) is it 25$ for each session?(I pre-ordered the photopass CD)

Thank you!

Yes, it's $25 for each session. You can even book 2 at the same resort, back to back, if you want/need more time, but it's $25 for each.

 

[cherbear]

I have a question. Do you pay for the session over the phone when you make the call? Or do you pay when you arrive there for it?

 

[marbella_chris]

Haven't you heard of the cheap 1p per minute numbers?

yeah! course i have, i am with DVC so i have toll free numbers anyway.

if they offer to take my booking on the principle of international call rates then why would i refuse???

they were the ones that specified about call rates not me, but i am sure as hell going to make sure that i get the booking that i want by calling as soon aspossible to make a reservation.

only a mug would say "oh dont worry about the call rates, i'll ring back in 5 days time"

Hey guys

Phoned Photopass Portrait line and was informed that AKL won't be available for another two months as there is no desk set up, once thats in place it takes 4-6wks to getting set/started etc

The CM also informed me that the sit down only price of $25 (if you have preordered the photopass) will be going up in price, most prob between $50-$75 and the other sessions as well will go up, such as the $50 fee without photopass etc. This should be taking effect either at the end of this month or beginning of September. Such a bummer as I wanted to do two sessions

Interesting.

 

[mom2zandjsquared]

I figured with all other prices increasing that this was going to increas as well but I am not so sure if it goes above $50 if it is really worth it. If they start to charge more than that I think they will have to make sure the photopass photogs are tremendous in what they do.

there goes my photopass session then. I was all excited about the $25 session, but if I have to buy the photopass and then pay $50-75 on top of that, I will not be booking. I was so looking forward to it too. My vacation plans are all crumbling. First the few days I am there there will be a mystery closing at five pm at MK, I wasn't able to get CRT or CM, and now they are raising the price of the photo session so that I can't afford it. I keep telling myself things can't get any worse and then I read something else. Sorry to whine, just getting a little disheartened over here.

 

[sandym718]

Hmm...if it goes to $50 I'd think a little more about it, but probably still do it. Over $50, I doubt it. We're getting a family photo at the beach next week, and then Disney is 8 months away so it's not like we'll NEED another. Guess the sessions must have been very popular.

 

[HALEYSMOMMOM]

Yes, it's $25 for each session. You can even book 2 at the same resort, back to back, if you want/need more time, but it's $25 for each.

This is not correct, its $25 for the first session, and $50 for each thereafter. So, I was told our 3 sessions are costing us $125.

They have already quoted me the old prices, they can't just change that on those of us who have ressies in place can they???
