I have a Disney photo book question for you. What type of book did you use for all your Disney pictures? What I am asking is what did the actual book look like. Was it their standard book and if so what color is it, what type of material is the cover made out of and can you get anything inscribed on the cover (names, dates, Minnie and Mickey?). Also, what do the inside pages look like. Are they standard, just put your photos in? Have you ever had one of the special books made (where the photo is the actual page). Our wedding is in November and we are not sure if we want to use Disney or an outside vendor.
Oh, sure, Lpizzuro123, ask me the one question that I cannot answer 3-1/2 years after my event.
~Gulp!~ 
I have yet to give Disney a list of 80-100 photos to use for the artistic book that was a part of my photo package. Last I heard, they were no longer using that vendor, and if that is true, it will break my heart because
I so wanted that book. It was a book like no other that I had seen before. It's very hard to describe. You have to see it in order to understand how it works.
So, you have completely stumped me with your question! It doesn't happen often -- and I will try not to let it happen again.
Now with that being said, over the years, I have personally used many vendors to create custom photo books of my family's vacations and other milestone events. Sadly, one of my favorite companies went out of business earlier in the decade. Anyone who saw that particular photo book of mine had assumed that it was made by Disney. It was gorgeous and extremely well-made. However, that company (
it was foreign) came about at the very beginning of the creation of the Photo Book Industry. They were a trailblazer who sadly ran out of funding before the industry took off. I actually corresponded with their CEO when I learned that they were closing up shop. I told her that my heart was broken because I had wanted to use her company's products for every vacation / milestone in my life. Her response was that she had planned on doing the same thing for her own family and she was just as heartbroken as I was.
Fast-forward a few years. I have been using Shutterfly for most of my photo greeting card and photo book needs. I have also recently begun using Apple (
I've got an iMac). They've got a soft-cover book in various sizes that I love. There are a handful of other vendors who I use, but Shutterfly & Apple seem to be the main ones who I turn to. I like their products and their customer service has been good.
I know this wasn't the answer that you were hoping for, but I wanted to let you know that once you get your hands on JPG images of your event, you can turn to various vendors for your photo book needs.
Before I close, if you want to see,
for example, a photo book that I had Apple create for my Mom a few months ago, just let me know and I'll put some screen shots into an on-line album so you can "see" how her book turned out. It was darling -- and the price was extremely reasonable. I was definitely a happy camper.
