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

[pjstevens]

oh, how perfectly sweet! Those are great. You two look like newlyweds!

Thanks so much. We had quite a few people who had a hard time believing we'd been married 25 years already!!! We had done a shoot at the GF in December with our three children and our dil, but this was so much more fun, just US!

I am in a Photo Pass Share and really want to get family photos done for the $25 and I don't care what resort it is. I did do GF in April with my family. Do you think they will be sticky with it now since the price has gone up or do you think we will be fine to schedule it at Poly?

Thanks!!

I am leading a group photopass share, pre-ordered the CD back in August. My trip is not until the end of this month. Called the Beach Club this past Sunday to schedule a photo shoot for Oct. 28th at the BEACH CLUB, not GF. Mentioned the $25.00 price on my CD pre-order receipt. They said no problem, just bring it with me to the shoot. Hope that helps!

GREAT!! Calling Now.

 

[mom2zandjsquared]

Alright!! I got my shoot booked for 8:30 am the morning after our party - so we might look a little tired but who knows. I want the photos done before breakfast because then we won't have to change clothes and I won't have to fuss over the kids while they eat.

We just returned from the World yesterday. Wow...it's tough to come back home. We did the photo shoot at the Grand Floridian, paid the $25 fee after showing them our confirmation e-mail and were immediately on our way. Our photographer was Jeff who was super, super nice and very patient with DD2 who was cooked from being there for 6 days. I didn't get all of the shots of her that I wanted, but that was absolutely a "her thing" and not at all attributable to the photographer.

All in all, the session was worth the $25 (would have been even more with it if DD was in a better place during the session) and we got over 50 pictures. It had just finished raining so we were a bit limited on where we could take pictures due to wet grass, but I was happy with what we got.

We did not receive a CD...he just added all the pictures to our Photopass card. I am still playing with them. I think it is a shame that their policy changed to give you a CD instead of on the Pass, but obviously, the CMs aren't following policy to the letter. Can't wait to keep playing with the photos. I will try to post some when I get my Cd.

Our group ordered back in May for this coming December. The copy of the receipt I have does not have this wording on it but I know that $25 sitting fee was deal when we purchased it.

Where on your pre-order form or receipt does it show the wording about the $25 sitting fee? Is it on a second page of the receipt or what?

Do you still make an appointment 30 days out or should I try to call and make the appointment for December now?

Its on the DO NOT DELETE E-mail with the photo pass cd redemption code.

You can only schedule 30 days out; I was told today to just bring the receipt with me that shows the $25 on it at the bottom.

Thanks so much for the fast answer!
I just wrote to the leader of our photopass to see if she has this letter. What she sent us was the payment confirmation letter but has no mention of the sitting fee at $25 on it! Last time the payment confirmation letter was all we needed. I hope she saved the other letter!

Ok, Please help me understand. With all the latest photopass talk, do we still order photopass for $99. at their site if preordered? I also see one on Disney site now, are they basically the same plan? TIA!

I'm not familiar with the Photopass offer on the Disney site but you can still pre-order the Photopass CD from the special pre-order site.

Is that what you were asking? Let me know if not.

 

[PrincessMommyof3]

Here are a couple screen shots from our photo session. We haven't orders the CD yet, but when I get it I will post more pictures. We had a great experience both times! We had a total of 9 people and the 2 year old usually hates photos.
. GF photos to follow in my next post, as soon as I get them uploaded.

Great pics! Can't wait to see more.

Thx TBCShauna! I just pre-ordered my Photopass for $99.!!

This is the email I rec'd w/my confirmation number:

As you can see, the portrait sitting is $25. As we will be having our shoot at Poly, I called photopass to confirmed it can used at any photopass resort for $25. Guess I got lucky!

 

[mom2zandjsquared]

What locations are a must for the photo shoot at Poly? I know I want some outside with the castle in the background but what else.

Dh and I have a photo shoot scheduled for the Poly in the 24th and I was just wondering how much do you usually tip the photographer?

 

[mousebit]

Here are ours at GF from last Sat (DGD13 and me). I have to say I thought the photographer was very sweet and patient. But we had a 1:00p session and it was really hard to not squint, not to mention what that mid-day heat and humidity did to our hair! So, we got very few good shots. But it was a fun way to end our trip. Had tea afterward, then headed to the airport.

I've never seen any info about the resort sessions on the WDW website. The best info I've found about it is on this thread.

 

[AJsMommy02]

How do I go about scheduling a session and how much does it cost??
