Taking a child

[Chanters4]

I look after a little girl and she has asked if she can come with me on the Friday, but I’ve never taken a little person before so I have a few questions. If I have photos booked, will she be allowed to stand at the side whilst I have the photo taken because she will have to queue with me but won’t be in the photo. Is she also allowed to queue with me for an auto if I have a DP for a guest? She’s only 5

You'll need to speak to the crew at the photo area on the day to see if she can as they'll have the final word, but I daresay they wouldn't mind her standing to the side given you can't leave her alone.

Usually, she'll also need what's known as Virtual Queue (VQ) ticket when queueing for a DP and you can both join the queue when getting the auto, though, again, the crew may be lenient when it comes to this, you can just speak to them.

Yes, don't worry Chanters, they won't expect you to leave a 5 year old on her own and will be happy to let her stay with you.  As wjleming said above, just speak to the crew.

Thank you both. I didn’t want to tell her I can take her if she wasn’t able to stay with me when I’d already booked photos and my DP auto on the Friday. She will be very excited now :-)

You can get your DP auto any day. In fact, if you have a high number, they might not get around to calling your number (although with Friday being less busy and you having bought it well before the show it shouldn't be a problem if you do want to get it on the Friday).
