    If I have an 8:30 capture your moment session at magic kingdom, will my daughter be allowed to wear her 15 dress that follows guidelines into the park or will we need to carry in garment bag and change quickly before session?

    Magical greetings, Jacqueline, and welcome to planDisney! How exciting that you've chosen to celebrate your daughter's 15th birthday at The Most Magical Place on Earth. I can't think of a better way to commemorate the occasion than with a Capture Your Moment session at Magic Kingdom. I'm sure you'll get photos and memories to last a lifetime, and it will be a birthday she'll never forget.

    As long as your daughter's dress follows park attire rules, she should be allowed in. Please keep in mind that the rules around what's acceptable apply to inside the theme park in addition to the entrance. There are a few things to keep in mind including costumes may not be worn by anyone under the age of 14. Clothing that's considered objectionable, excessively torn or can be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment isn't allowed. Clothing that touches or drags the ground also may not be allowed, and clothing with multiple layers is subject to search upon entry. As always, Cast Members at the entrance and inside the park make the final decision on what's allowed. 

    Once you've finished taking her gorgeous photos, consider renting a locker if she'll want to change into regular theme park clothes at some point throughout the day. I can tell you a locker rental has saved me on more than one occasion from having to carry an excessive amount of stuff around the park. I wish my family traveled lightly, but that's just not who we are. 

    Be sure to pick up a complimentary Happy Birthday button for her either at Guest Services inside the park or at most merchandise locations. You can even get it personalized by an artist at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe for a small fee if you'd rather have fancier lettering than what Guest Services Cast Members can provide. Cast Members and some Guests enjoy extending birthday greetings whenever they spot one of these celebration buttons being worn. 

    Jacqueline, I hope your daughter has the best birthday ever! If you have any other planning questions we can help with, please visit us again soon.

    Grab hold of your dreams!
