New Grand Floridian Portrait Sessions

[Guest]

I think it depends on what type of shots your looking for (casual, formal, etc.). If I were doing it with my family I'd have everyone in a white t-shirt and jeans or (what we call) khaki pants for a casual on the beach shot. I'd also bring another shirt that can be put on top of the t-shirt for a dressier option inside. Not one that is all the same but something that matches each other.

Totally up to you and what you are looking for. I've taken pictures of children for a surprise Christmas gift and they always loved that sort of combination. You could always substitute the white t-shirt for a matching WDW shirt.

The sky is the limit really.

We didn't do this option this trip (DW isn't keen on planning to have her photo taken) but we did buy the standard CD.

This now includes 3 'free' 5x7 prints from your PhotoPass card (which partially explains the jump from $99 to $125). You can also include a ride photo from Test Track on your PhotoPass card now, hopefully with more rides to follow soon.



Another useful thing you can do is after a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique session you can get a set of studio-style photos taken (in Downtown Disney or at Exposition Hall in the Magic Kingdom) which will be added to your PhotoPass for free - even if you only have paid for the basic boutique package.



One more feature which I've never heard discussed before is if you pay for a standard souvenir photo package at a character meal, you can later take the print which you've purchased along to any of the main PhotoPass locations and they will put the whole image session onto your card for you. Not a big deal I know, but it was rather nice to be able to do it.

They are taking bookings for a photoshoot at Polynesian now and I believe Saratoga Springs soon.

[Guest]

Awesome. Thanks for the intel. We had ummed and ahhed about the GF shoot and decided against it. I wouldn't mind a shoot at the Poly tho.

[Guest]

so if you do the shoot at gf, and add on your photopass pics from the parks , do you have to get the cd there and then?

i was hoping to go online and add borders and things to the pp pics and i have heard you do this at home online.

so do i pay at the park or online at home and how do i do the gf too?

[Andre]

Yes, I believe you have to get the CD from the photoshoot people. You can go back again at the end of your hols and get it topped up for free with any further photopass photos though - but I don't know if that would include borders.

We had pre ordered for $99 the photopass, the GF photoshoot was right at the end of our holiday and the photographer gave us another card. We went to MK on our last day and had them all put on one card for ease of accessing the account on our return home. We did not order the CD until I had cropped and played about with our pics, including the photoshoot ones at home two weeks after the shoot.
