Professional photos taken at WDW?

[Disney Princess 6]

I thought I read that this service was available. We were thinking of a family photo at the Grand Floridian. Does anyone know if this is possible?

My family took a professional photo at Epcot in the Kodak building. I don't know about photos at the hotels.

I found a number you can call in the Disney Club member benefits-407-827-5099. I have seen other posts talking about this and I think it is kinda expensive. Hope this helps

We just had our family photo taken at OKW on 1/3. We are anxiously waiting to see our proofs online. The cost is $275 for a one hour session. They will meet you anywhere on property, even inside the parks. DVC members get a 10% discount.

My family had photos taken at OKW back in September and I was very happy with the results.

As dbond said, they have access to most all locations on Disney property EXCEPT Disney / MGM Studios. You get the photographer for an hour, and they will take as many photos as you want, or they are physically able to in that period.

In the Magic Kingdom, they use the rose garden and get the castle in the background. That location makes for nice photos with immediate Disney recognition, but that's about the only location in the MK they can use simply because of the pedestrian traffic.

Epcot is a popular spot as they have access to the World Showcase before it opens. Time permitting, you could take photos with 2 or 3 different "lands" as your backdrop.

The lobby of the Grand Floridian is a popular interior location.

We decided to have our photos taken right at Old Key West, our resort for the week. We chose both an interior and exterior backdrop. All said, they took 40-50 photos in about 45 minutes. Obviously not all of the photos were suitable for framing, but we did receive all of the proofs. The best 16 photos were sent in a hard-bound, fold-open album that was embossed with Disney logos.

We used Disney Photographic Services in 2000. A photographer met our family at OKW (as others have posted they can meet you anywhere on property). We got the DVC discount on the sitting fee.
The sitting was great and we were really pleased with the final product.

At one point I posted the email address for my contact at the Photographic Services. You might try doing a search for it.

THere's a $275 charge for the sitting, but then what are the charges for the photos? I'll call them, but I was just curious about roughly how much the photos cost. I recently looked into getting professional photos taken on the beach at Ocean City, MD and the cost for one 8x10 photo was $175! Yikes. We can't afford that.

These prices are from 2000. So I would be suprised if they are still the same.
But, hopefully it will give you an idea.
