Disney World Launches $399 Signature Portrait Sessions at Deluxe Resorts

The pilot targets guests seeking polished resort portraits beyond park snapshots.

Overview

  • Disney PhotoPass introduced Signature Portrait Sessions Tuesday in a pilot that offers private up-to-40-minute shoots with a portrait photographer and assistant for $399.
  • The pilot runs at four locations tied to two deluxe hotels — the Grand Floridian and the Polynesian — with indoor and outdoor spots that can shift based on weather or resort operations.
  • Guests book by emailing DisneyPortraitSessions@disney.com up to 60 days in advance, pay in full at booking, face a full-charge penalty if canceling within 24 hours, and must follow rules that bar wedding attire and require an adult for children under 14.
  • Each session includes professional lighting, access to props, and full retouching, with about 60 edited images delivered to the guest’s Disney PhotoPass gallery within roughly a week through the My Disney Experience app.
  • Outlets describe the resort-based shoots as a premium alternative to the in-park Capture Your Moment service, and report Disney may expand the pilot if interest stays strong.
