i'm not dismissing the entire "fairy tale" because, when all is said and done, it WILL be amazing and lovely.
however, i agree that it is both interesting and frustrating to have information come out in such odd ways and not consistently. it kind of feeds the "monster" that our lovely disboards can be! yet, disney also knows these boards and others exist and yet, for whatever reasons, disney still doesn't or cant grab the reins and be proactive about information etc... and it seems like the entire DFTW department keeps ramping up in what they attempt to provide and it makes me somewhat glad we've already been "through" it, as it seems that as things continue to expand, if tthe ground level cast members don't have the support and power they need to do the job we all expect them to do, well, there will be more rumblings from their target customers - us!
i agree that information must be managed appropriately and i don't beleive that some people getting info before others or what not makes sense! nothing can be done instantaneously of course, but our shoot was among the first wave of them being moved, but we learned of that here and still it took a bit before our planner or DFAP got back to us - although our inquiry to photography got us an answer before it appeared our then planner had (or was sharing).
i do not think that any of these issues are any kind of evil conspiracy or plot - although sometimes i wonder if the cast members think thats what we think!! i think, generally, most everyone is trying to do a great job and they deal with people at a very significant and charged rite of passage! i couldn't deal with what i am sure they all do!
yet, and i totally empathize with the photography and planning teams, all this back and forth, some of which cannot be avoided of course, well, the way it is handled makes it worse. i mean, they all know about and visit these boards, and yet the machine can't seem to get ahead of the wave. sigh....
i really wouldn't stress about two brides being in the MK at the same time at all! trust me, worry more about all the people going to cinderellas breakfast! and actually, don't worry about that too too much wither. again, there were lots of people around during our 730 MK shoot. we have barely a picture that i could detect anyone in it but us - and even then, the ONLY reason that concerned me was because that was the ONE picture i am enlarging to gigantic size for the wall!
really the photographers do a great job in that way. and i know all of this is frustrating - but all in all, i really feel happy that we did the shoot, despite some of the - in hindsight - less important dissapointments involved with the shoot (changing of times, not being able to work the logistics of a second park, not having that short but much anticipated "all alone in the park" experience). if the idea of the pictures interest you, really, i would encourgae you to do the shoot. i know lots of things can change about why someone could or couldn't do the shoot if the time change happens late in the game and i won't even attempt to go into (again) my HUGE problems with what does and doesn't count towards your minimum and the way disney tries to incentivise the use of their photgraphers....
ok. back to your regularly scheduled message boards.
Is there definitely no availability whilst you're there?
