Taking Family Photos for Others

[Jean Smith]

I have been approached a few times about accompanying families to Disney and do their vacation photos for a fee. Nothing fancy, just taking normal pictures. Anyone on here know Disney's policy on this type of thing? I am not selling the photos for mass commercial use just the personal use of the families. Do they frown on this or is this something that I can do?

Jean: Yours is the best job in the world!

I don't think WDW will mind. I do this thing for my family and I don't get paid!

They wont stop you, in fact its pretty much free publicity for them so I think if anything they'll be happy about it....providing you aren't obtrusive to other guests.

How would they know you were not just a family member?

People are hired to take wedding photos at WDW all the time. I've heard of instances where people are turned away for being dressed too fancy (wedding dress and tux) but as long as everyone is in street clothes and you don't have any big external lighting you will be fine. They just don't want anything distracting to the other guests.

Obviously people get married at WDW, but I think they get permission to enter the parks in wedding attire...I think, not 100% sure though. Or maybe they aren't either. Again, not 100%.
