I just got an email with an FAQ documenr regarding the crane being in place in front of the MK. We have our shoot scheduled for October. I'm actually glad that someone told me this, I already knew because of the Dis, but it's nice to hear it from Disney themselves.

It looks like they do everything they can to move you around the crane shots or digitally remove it.

I'm keeping my shoot, but I'll definitely be vocal about where I do and do not want to stand. Just in case the crane is visible!
 
Did they by any chance say when the crane would be there? We are getting married in early January.
 
I just recieved the same email. My email said that the crane will be there from september to november to put up christmas decorations. But I'm sure that the crane will be back to take them down as well. I sure hope they can take it out of the shots. It would break my heart if I couldn't get my magic kingdom photo package :0(
 

is it right in front of the castle?? I am getting married at the WP will in be in those pictures as well?
 
I recieved that email as well.
Our wedding, and MK shoot are on October 24.


Dear Rachel,

This message is to inform you that there are cranes scheduled to be located at various points surrounding Cinderella’s Castle from September through November. These cranes will be putting up Christmas lights and decorations on and around the castle.

Attached you will find a Question and Answer sheet which may help clarify any questions you may have about how your Magic Kingdom wedding portraits could be affected by these cranes.




And here is the FAQ also attached.



Can we cancel?

Yes, you can cancel up to 24 hours prior to the event (or by 11am on Friday if the session is on Sunday or Monday).


Will we lose my payment if we cancel?

No, you will not lose your payment if you cancel up to 24 hours prior to the event.


Since we are being inconvenienced through no fault of our own, can you compensate us by reducing the amount of our package or giving us an add-on at no charge?

No, as stated in our collateral, we are unable to make compensation for circumstances beyond our control. The castle area in the Magic Kingdom is a working stage.


Can we reschedule?

Yes, you can reschedule within one year.


What happens to our payment if we reschedule?

Your payment will go towards the new event time.


Can you just remove the crane with digital work?

If the crane is in front of the castle, we will try to move you into an existing photo of the castle. If the crane is behind the castle, we will try to remove it digitally.


When we have our session, what will be done if only half of the lights are on the castle?

If you don’t like the look of the castle, we will try to move you into an existing photo of the castle without lights.



If I don’t like the way it looks when I receive my pictures, can I still get a refund?

No, we are unable to offer refunds after the photo shoot has been done. If you don’t like the way the castle looks, we will try to move you into an existing photo of the castle.
 
I know this has happened before and I don't remember anyone being dissatisfied with their MK shots. At that time of morning, the crane will be up and working. They usually put it down shortly before park opening.
 
I'm pretty confident that they will take the crane out digitally if it ends up in the photos. And I'm sure the photographers know what angles work best to keep it out of the shots. Our is scheduled 10/14, so we'll decide when we get down there and take a look. At least you have 24 hours to cancel and not 30 days like most other elements.
 
As silly as it sounds, I think I'm more concerned about how noticeable the Christmas decorations will be.

I haven't been to Disney at Christmas time since I was 4, and I honestly can't remember much of decorations other than trees.

Either way we won't cancel, and I know we'll love the pictures no matter what. No point in stressing out over it until I see it when we get there.
 
We did the MK photo shoot this past December when they were painting the castle. The crane was behind the castle at that time and they did an excellent job of digitally removing it!
