    Hello, can I take my daughter’s sweet 16 pictures in her birthday gown at Disney?

    Hi, Joann! Welcome to planDisney.

    Walt Disney World Resort is honestly one of the most magical places you can celebrate a milestone like a "Sweet 16." You've got beautiful backdrops, fairytale music, plenty of nostalgia, and pure joy around every corner. A birthday photoshoot sounds like a wonderful idea, Joann.

    You can take photos around the theme parks, but there is one important park rule to keep in mind: Guests can't wear clothing that touches or drags on the ground. That said, you're absolutely welcome to take Sweet 16 photos at the park as long as the dress doesn't drag and isn't a costume of any kind. You can also take them at your Disney Resort hotel or in Disney Springs—both offer gorgeous spots without the wardrobe restrictions.

    If you want something a little more polished, consider booking a Capture Your Moment photo session. It's a short private photoshoot with a Disney PhotoPass photographer, and it can make the whole experience feel extra special. This Enchanting Extra is available at Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and Disney's Hollywood Studios. It's a lovely way to celebrate your daughter and come home with photos you'll treasure for years.

    Happy planning, Joann.
