We just went last week. I lurked on this thread before we went so I thought I would share some of our's and what our experience was. It was so helpful hearing everyone else's when I was planning our trip I thought I would try to help someone else out.
I originally booked our photo session for the afternoon we arrived at 4:45 p.m. After we got into Orlando and got to the resort, we had to switch rooms and we still needed to unpack and get ready. I decided it was going to be too close so I called and they let me reschedule with no problems. I rescheduled for Tuesday afternoon at 4:45 p.m.
Because of when I booked, I still got the CD's and prints. I also had the 20% off coupon that was in our pre-arrival documents from Disney. So it was $80 for 20 minutes, a choice of printed pictures, and the CD.
We arrived early and the photographer was ready so we started immediately. It was my husband, our 21 month old daughter, and me. My daughter was not giving away any smiles the day we went but it was definitely not because the photographer didn't try! I was really impressed with our photographer - she tried her hardest to get our DD to cooperate.
I guess there was no one else after us because the photographer was with us for at least 45 minutes (if not an hour) and she didn't charge us extra. We ended up with 135 images (of course they didn't all turn out). Here are a few of the best:
- This is my daughter's first experience with the beach and sand. We live in the middle of corn fields. She is definitely a little princess who doesn't like to get dirty!
We definitely had the sun and wind to deal with but I was pretty happy with the pictures overall. We actually had several people at the Poly stop us and tell us how nice we looked as a family. It was definitely a good experience. We will probably do it again but maybe try a different resort next time just to try something new.
