Happy Easter fellow *future* Disney cast members... ;D My visa appointment is booked for 15th April at 11am and I am just looking at sorting my pics for the visa. Some people have said you do not need to get special made ones from a photographer, but can just use ur bogg standard passport ones? Would this be ok? Any other tips would be greatamondo (jesus i've had too much choc!) ;D Gemma xxx
I've had three Visa'a before - they do not expect you to go get pictures done specially! Take a passport picture - that's all you need. It's only gonna get stapled in your passport anyway lol
Thanks hun Just looked at when you arrive in orlando 20th Sept, i come home on 17th - god can u imagine the downer i'll be on??? :'(
hey cinders, i worked at a camp last summer and when i got my visa pics taken they said that u have to have your ears shown (totally random i know) all i did was tuck my haor behind my ears! so how come u come back the 20th? its also the day i fly out! ;D
Hiya Vicks, I am doing the college program and its only a 3month job, so we actually finish working at Disney on 26th Aug, so have 3 weeks to travel around Florida then come home on 17th Sept to start my final yr in uni Haven't even got to Florida yet and I'm dreading coming home... Anyways its better than nothing and if I have my way i'll be doing an intern the year after in Disney ;D so fingers crossed Thanks for the Visa advice, glad I don't have to get em done proffesionally Gem x
ooh well thats interestin, i have some passport pics but u have 2 have ur ears showing?!?! i dont like my ears lol! xxx
lol none of my Visa's said anything about showing your ears! I think that's just their safe guard to make sure you don't have your hair all in your face
Hi Cinders - my parents have had visas before for the states and they have used passport ones, you should be fine! My visa appointment is also the 15th lol - at 10.30am! Anna x
Hi Anna, Ah cheers missy - I'll just be getting the ordinary one's then! Probably see you in the visa office then I've got blonde hair and i'll be with my boyfriend who looks like a younger hunkier Clark Kent haha so if you see us say hello xx Gem xx
It may have changed but when I got my visa a month or so ago now we had to have photos of specific dimensions and a regular passport photo wasnt allowed. Have you had the visa info through from the embasy confirming your appointment yet? They send you all the info about the picture you need!! The picture doesnt actually get stick in your passport - it gets scanned into a computer and has to fit into the space provided for your piccie in you visa which is US passport size, not UK size. May be a bit more lenient now though - check with jason!! Michelle xx
I stand corrected lol!! I'm sorry Michelle you're right - the parents have just come in and I double checked and they did get pictures taken at a photographers as our passport pictures aren't big enough! Anna xx
Hey Gem when you get your VISA information there is a leaflet in it which has places that you can get the proper VISA photos on and there is luckily one in London like 2mins from the embassy on Oxford street and its really easy to find coz i panicked and had mine done that day lol xxxx
