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

[boltfan]

For those of you who have received the 20% off coupon, do you have to have it when you book or do you just present it at the time of the session. I have already booked our session, but we haven't received our welcome packet yet.

I booked it at the GF for December, and he told me just to bring it with me when we go. There's no code to give them, so you just have to remember to bring it!

Nope, I'm staying at a moderate and the offer was in the back of my welcome booklet. Actually ended up with 2 because I changed dates of reservation and got a second booklet.

You wanna share?

Seriously though, we were wondering if it was a hard voucher or a discount code. I am still going to ask when we get there though. I think it sounds like it is thrown in with the US welcome pack.

We got an actual coupon in our welcome booklet, not a code. We are staying at a value resort this time, so you don't have to be staying where they do the actual sessions.

Hi there, I'm staying at the Contemporary. I booked online, with the deluxe dining plan and celebrating our anniversary and dh's birthday. I recieved a little book welcoming us and telling us all the things we could do and places to eat. On the last page of the booklet was a discount coupon for 20% off a Photo Session. Good through Dec 31st I believe.

This is the same booklet that I received and we are staying at POP.

Based on what I've read, you could easily do a 9:00 session and arrive early to your ADR. I think you could book the session for as late as 9:45 and still make your ADR if you do the session at the Poly. We haven't ever been to Kona, but we usually plan on about 2 hours for a sit-down meal.

Hope this helps!

I would do the session before you eat (just in case something spills on your clothes). When we did ours, they said it would be about 20 or 30 minutes while they upload the pictures before we could view them. So I would suggest doing the session, eating and then going back to view them and pick out the ones you want. The photopass location is right across the lobby from Kona - very easy [/QUOTE]

Thanks for the responeses. I don't think I've ever made it through a meal without something on me! LOL! Definitely a good idea to do the photoshoot first. Thanks!

A couple questions about that coupons again (sorry, I'm confused)
The 20% coupon comes in a booklet - is this when you arrive or sent before you leave for your trip? Is it for those who book a package only, or do plain room reservations get one too? Thanks!

 

[Ana~n~Joseph]

I have the same question I have a package booked at CSR and already have a reservation for a Photo Session but no coupon yet

I got mine right after I booked AKL, which was a few weeks ago. The booking is for Dec. I have Pop also booked for later in the trip and booked that back when free dining was announced and never got anything for that. My AKL is a room only resevation. Pop is a package. Teh booklet was about AKL and on the back page it says I can get 20% off a resort photosession, but it's not an actual coupon or code.

Perhaps they are giving out discounts in different forms for different types of reservations If DD goes to sleep at a reasonable hour I will call them and ask this evening. Anyone know what time they close the phone lines during the week?

I've now got 3 of them. I changed my room only reservation and received another one. Got 2 before for having a room only and a free dining MYW package. So it comes for either one. Came in the envelope from Disney with the monorail on it. Don't know why some get it and others don't.

Oh rub it in So unfair.

With all those discount coupons I hope you plan to use at least one of them this trip!

How do you guys all decide what color to wear in your photos? We will be doing a photo shoot in November to use as photo gifts for Christmas, and I can't decide what color we should all wear, or how to make sure the colors really match.

We'll be at the Poly for the shoot. I see a lot of people choose white, but I have never liked how I look in white...I was thinking Navy...???

I also thought of blue as a back up color. We are doing a Poly shoot and someone posted that they were advised against wearing white by one of the CMs. Apparently it is very reflective (makes sense). However I had gone and bought two nice tops for DD and I in white as it is one color we both look good in. Now I wonder if I made a mistake. I thought blue would be the next best. Pink would suit us better, but I don't know how it will go with the backgrounds at the Poly. Navy sounds like a great choice.

 

[ChrisMouse]

Thanks for the reinforcement...I think we are really leaning towards navy since my DH and DS will be in the picture. A nice deep pink like fuscia is actually my best color, but not so great for the guys

I guess we'll go with navy polos and khaki shorts for the guys, a navy top and khaki capris for me, and a navy sundress for DD...

Now I just have to find all of that

That sounds like a great combo! In fact, if you don't mind, I might borrow your idea I may have to opt for a light blue instead of navy though as it will look better on DD.

Ug, forgot about the time of year.

Our photo shoot is in November, late afternoon. I wonder if I should revise and plan for long sleeves and jeans instead?

(It really shouldn't be this hard )

When in November? I similarly have the opposite dilemma: I WANT to wear blue jeans (hence the white shirts which I thought would go nicely), but will mid October still be too hot for jeans? Perhaps I will put some shorts in my backpack and we can change if need be. We will just need to be sure to arrive at the Poly early in case.

 

[boltfan]

That's funny that you were told not to wear white...Barry at GF said white was a good color. But we're going with varying shades of darker blue. And jeans. We'll be there in December, and with the shoot at 4 I'm sure it'll be cool enough for jeans.
