CRT Akerhaus party of 6, one under 3?

[missmary]

I just made reservations for my family for CRT.

But, I am wondering how they will treat my non-paying 2-year-old daughter? Will she receive a wand and be included or should I bring a wand from home for her to use?

Also, I have read that parties of 6 sometimes get 2 photo packages included with the price of their meals at both CRT and Akerhaus. We have Grandma coming with us and I know she would love her own photo package if it is available. Is the 2nd package always included for a party of 6? What if one of our 6 is under 3? Or is it a YMMV type of thing?

Thanks so much!

Both overviews say this:

... guests receive one professional Imaging Package per groups of up to 4 paying Guests, 2 packages for groups of 5 to 8 Guests, and 3 packages for groups of 9 to 12 Guests.

Non-paying 2 yr old gets wand/sword and wishing star (DS9months got a sword and star in Dec.)

We were 5, with DS, and got 2 photo packages (we weren't expecting it, we thought it was 5 paying customers). So, you will get 2 photo packages (actually, you'd get two even without the baby).

This doesn't matter for CRT, as tips are included there anyway, but just so you know, babies also count for tips being included for parties of 6 or more: so if you go to any other table service locations, you'll have an 18% tip added to your bill.

Thank you all so much! I love how Disney includes the little guys too and I'm not surprised they include them on the automatic tip as well!

ETA: Can you pick different poses for the photo packages or are they the same?

We are going for our annual family trip and I am thinking of taking DGS4and DGD1. He will love it as he loves watching Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. Waiting for November for Beaty and the Beast. I'm thinking of doing breakfast as he can be a picky eater but he loves sausage and eggs. She will eat anything, she can out eat him. Is this doable? Their mom and dad can sleep in and meet us at the park later.

We were a party of 6, ate at CRT and Akershus in June. Both places gave us 2 photo packages. CRT just gave us two packages of the same pose. Akershus actually let us do 2 poses. It was really nice. I doubt they would treat the 2 yo any differently than the "paying" members of your party. The people who had that stuff out aren't looking for tickets or anything. They stand beside a bin of wands/swords/wishing stars and just pass them out. We didn't get a wand at Akershus. We got the wand/sword/star at CRT.

Have fun! We did!

When we got two packages at CRT we got two different poses (same as Akershus). In fact, we didn't realize we got two packages (we didn't know they included DS1 in the count for this), and we were asked if we would like a different pose for the 2nd package or two packages of the 1 pose.
