Photo session at resorts?

[vanreg]

I thought I heard that you can have a photo session at GF and they put the pictures on your photopass cards. Can anyone give me details? Do you need an appt, phone #, cost, can you do this if you "pre-buy" your photopass for $99, is it done at any other resorts?

Also, if you've had it done, were you happy with the results? Are the pictures indoors or outdoors or a combo of both?

I know they added Saratoga Springs to the resort list because we plan to do this for our Nov/Dec trip. I would love to know how it works as well. Were they formal pics or candids? Combination of both? Any information would be most helpful!

This is taken from the disboards main page. I don't know anything other than this:

Additionally, you can schedule a 30 minute one-on-one session with a PhotoPass Photographer at the Beach Club, Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa or the Polynesian Resort. The two package options are:

$49.95 - Sitting Fee only
$124.95 - Sitting Fee plus all of the PhotoPass pictures taken by PhotoPass photographers throughout your stay on a PhotoPass CD (See below for 20% discount offer)
The sessions can be booked up to 30 days prior to arrival. The number to call is: 407-824-1700.

I just posted this on the other thread

You might want to check out this thread. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1703832

it has a ton of info about the photopass sessions, From what I understand it's $130 with tax($125.95 plus tax), and you can take back your CD and they will include all your photopass pix even from the parks. they only include picture sessions at certin resorts, and you have to book it 30 days in advance. I tried to call today 407-934-4004 but couldn't book the day I wanted yet b/c I was a few days away from my 30 day mark.

He said just to call back and he's sure I can get a great time, he also said it will be paid when we get to the resort, and after it is booked I will probably be getting an email offering to prepay for $99, but that I would have to pay a $25 setting fee and it would basically come out to the same $124 plus tax

I will be calling back next week to book our family at the Poly! I can't wait, the poly was the resort we stayed at on our 1st trip to the world, so it will be nice to have our photos done there

I just got off the phone booking one of these. They are done at GF, Poly, SSR and BW. The normal sitting fee is $49.95, but if you prepay for the CD, it is $25. The prepaid CD is $99. We are doing the Poly and the person said they would collect the sitting fee when we showed up for the session, but we needed to have already paid for the CD to get the reduced sitting fee. Ours is on our last day, so all we have to do is bring the photopass cards from all week and they will combine all of those with the portraits when the session is over.

Here is a link to the prepay CD and it has some info on the site about the photo sessions.
