    I’m planning to propose to my girlfriend at the California Grill restaurant during our next trip. I would like to know if it’s possible to book a table by the window. I wish to know also if we can arrange a photographer to capture the moment.

    Hi Arthur, thank you for bringing your question to planDisney! 

    Arthur, it is not possible to book a particular table in advance at California Grill. I recommend slipping away from your loved one for a moment so you can speak to the Cast Member at the restaurant. California Grill is a beautiful dining location and I’m sure any table will make a perfect proposal setting. 

    I reached out to Disney PhotoPass Services to inquire about a personal photographer at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Unfortunately, the only personal photography sessions offered are the Capture Your Moment sessions available in the theme parks. At this time, there is not a photographer available at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. 

    I do have some suggestions, though. If you have time on your vacation, I highly recommend booking a Capture Your Moment session. These are offered in all four theme parks, and you will have your own PhotoPass photographer to take your celebratory pictures. I have booked a few of the Magic Kingdom sessions, and the photographers do a fantastic job guiding you to special locations and making it seem like there are no other guests around!

    If you can make your way to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, there is a lovely PhotoPass spot on the second level where a photographer will take a photo of you and your loved one with Cinderella’s glass slipper. This location is also close to the Enchanted Rose Lounge, so you can stop in this Beauty and the Beast-themed lounge to enjoy a Lavender Fog and some appetizers.

    For another photography option outside the theme parks, Disney Springs has a Disney PhotoPass Studio. PhotoPass photographers will take your photos in front of backdrops and might even have some fun props to use. 

    If you’re taking PhotoPass photos at Disney World, I highly recommend purchasing Memory Maker so you can download all of them after your trip. You’ll want to keep all the photos of you and your loved one- before and after the big proposal! I always enjoy taking PhotoPass photos with photographers because they can often recommend poses or locations to give you a picture-perfect memory! 

    I hope this helps with planning your special moment, Arthur. Proposing in Walt Disney World is a magical way to begin your engagement, and maybe next you'll be planning your Disney Fairy Tale Wedding! If you have any more questions, please come back and see me at planDisney

    Wishing you a happily ever after, 
    Kaitlin
