Hey there, hi there, Tracy! You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney.
Happy 2025 - the big year for your graduate! I can't imagine a better way to celebrate such a huge milestone than with a pixie-dusted adventure at the Most Magical Place on Earth. Of course, you'll need to commemorate these magical memories and this huge moment in your graduate's life, so let's chat about photo sessions!
For a special photo session for a special graduate, I recommend booking a
Capture Your Moment: Magic Kingdom Park. When you book this
Enchanting Extra, you will get a 20-minute personalized photo session with a photographer with Cinderella Castle and other iconic Magic Kingdom settings as the magical backdrop. You will be able to chat with your photographer about ideas for your shoot, and you can even bring props, such as a graduation cap or a "Class of 2025" sign, as long as nothing is against the
park rules. My planDisney pal
Ashley booked a Capture Your Moment photo session to take maternity photos in Magic Kingdom, and they came out absolutely beautiful!
If you or your graduate would prefer a photo session in a different park, Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries." Walt Disney World also offers Capture Your Moment sessions in
EPCOT,
Disney's Hollywood Studios or
Disney's Animal Kingdom. Just book one of these experiences on the My Disney Experience app or the Walt Disney World website. If I have your arrival date correct, you can book it NOW! And if you think you may need more than a 20-minute session, you can even book two sessions back-to-back. Now, say cheese!
Just be aware that the photo downloads or prints are not included in the price of your session. So, I recommend adding
Memory Maker to your vacation if you haven't done so already. That way, you will not only be able to download every graduation photo from the Capture Your Moment session but also every PhotoPass photo you take on your entire vacation. How awesome is that?! As the (very) amateur "photographer" of the family, it is so nice to be in the pictures and have someone capture the whole family enjoying the magic together.
I hope this helps, Tracy, and I hope you and your graduate have an unforgettable vacation and year. Congratulations! Please feel free to stop by any time with any planning questions you may have. You've got a friend in planDisney!
See ya real soon!
