So they've been doing this throughout February. People all over social media were going nuts. I guess it was originally supposed to be only 2 weeks or so of testing but it's been held over due to demand. I was there Sunday and there was no information about it, but I asked several cast members and character attendants and they all told me they "thought" it was happening sometime after sunset that evening. I went back over several times and shortly after 7pm, they started the line and set up the tripod for the photos.
Now, there was a HUGE interest in this, including multiple Disneybounders (as Rapunzel and Flynn of course) and the line quickly went all the way down to HM. As far as I know, they were at it most of the evening. I was SO excited to get the photo....but. They are still experimenting apparently with position. Earlier photos had the "fountain" in the background, but my night, they did it the other way, with the camera pointing towards the restroom enterence and the pathway with people walking behind you. They didn't do a good job balancing out the camera settings/lightning that night because my pics came out...
disappointing.
Here's an unedited pic:

Lightning is harsh on my face and too dark on the other side. Shot is W-I-D-E and too many random people.
The one with my husband and I is even worse.

They had the "poses" down nicely - hold it and look at the camera, look at the lantern and then hold it up in the air for a single, or hold it and look at camera, look at lantern and look at each other for a couple - but I was so bummed with the actual result. There was a HUGE line and HUGE demand for it. And it's such a creative idea. I applaud the concept. I just wish my results were better.
