Hello George! Welcome to planDisney. Prom is such a special milestone, and celebrating it at the
Disneyland Resort? That’s a memory your family will cherish forever. I’m delighted to help you make the most of this magical occasion.
As a fellow parent who treasures commemorating life’s big moments at the parks, I completely understand the desire to mark this day in a big way. While snapping personal photos with friends and family is absolutely encouraged, the
Disneyland Resort Rules note that “Photography, videotaping or recording of any kind, or otherwise engaging in any activity, for unapproved commercial purposes” is not permitted. This means professional photo shoots aren’t allowed inside the parks. But don’t worry, there’s still plenty of room for fun, heartfelt snapshots to capture the spirit of the day!
If your daughter is planning to wear her prom dress to the parks (and who could blame her?), it’s important to keep the Guest Attire Policies in mind. As my fellow panelist Jenn
points out, dresses that drag on the ground aren’t allowed, even for special celebrations. So while full-length gowns may look fabulous in photos, I’d recommend a dress that evokes prom-night elegance while staying within the park’s guidelines, something she can twirl in with ease while making memories from Fantasyland to Main Street, U.S.A.
For an extra dose of pixie dust, don’t miss the
Disney PhotoPass service. These talented Cast Members are stationed throughout the resort and are experts at capturing magical moments. From the iconic backdrop of
Sleeping Beauty Castle to the colorful charm of the
Mad Tea Party, you’ll find countless picture-perfect locations. I especially love the Mad Tea Party area. It feels straight out of a dream, which is fitting for a night as unforgettable as prom.
George, I hope this information helps you plan an enchanting day that your daughter will remember for years to come. If you have any more questions, or need help making this celebration extra special, please visit us again at planDisney. We’re always here to help turn your dreams into lifelong memories.
Wishing your family a prom celebration filled with magic and joy,
David
