Autographs and photo ops
Autographs and photo ops are sold on a first come first serve basis and are sold until 15 mins before the scheduled photo op time. If sessions are sold out for a certain guest, it will be noted as "Sold Out" on the website and at the venue. This means no more sessions are available for that guest’s session, and no additional sessions will be released.
Photo ops and Autographs are not included in the purchase of a General Admission (GA) or VIP ticket. These must be purchased separately in addition to your GA or VIP ticket. Prices and availability for photo ops and autographs will vary depending on the guest.
There is no limit on the number of Autographs you can purchase. However, you must purchase one autograph for each autograph you wish to obtain. This means you cannot ask for multiple autographs from a guest unless you have purchased the corresponding number of sessions. Autograph prices may vary depending on the item being signed.
Please note: there is a limit placed on the amount of trading cards that can be signed. Only 3 trading cards per customer will be allowed to be autographed.
Autographs and Photo Ops are sold separately. Purchasing an Autograph does not entitle you to a photo op, and vice versa. You will need to buy both Autographs and Photo Ops individually if you want both an Autograph and a Photo Op with a guest.
Fans will be allowed to bring their own items to be signed for autograph sessions. Items will also be available for purchase on-site at the Fanatics Superstore. If you do not have an item, there will be paper and markers provided at the autograph area. Guests have the right to refuse to sign any item.
An inscription is a small dedication alongside the autograph e.g. “To my Number 1 Fan”, “Happy Birthday!”, “We’ll always have Paris”, etc. Inscriptions are not included in the price of an autograph and require an additional purchase. Pricing for inscriptions will be listed on the purchase page, and you must purchase an Autograph to add an inscription.
Yes! Markers will be provided at the autograph area for use during the autograph sessions. You do not need to bring your own pen or marker.
Each Photo Op allows up to 4 people to be in the picture. This means the Photo Op can have up to 4 fans join in the photo with the guest.
Photos are taken on a professional camera in front of a backdrop.
No, table selfies will not be allowed. We appreciate you understanding!
Each Photo Op includes one physical copy of your photo. The physical copy will be printed and provided to you on-site. A digital copy of your photo can be purchased at an additional cost onsite or online. To purchase a digital copy, fans will receive instructions on how to purchase a digital print in the confirmation email after their purchase of an autograph and photo op session. Customer service questions can be directed to https://support.epic.leapevent.tech/s/contactsupport.
We recommend to arrive at least 15-30 minutes before your scheduled photo op or autograph session to ensure you have enough time to check in and find the appropriate area.
Fanatics Collect Orlando has the right to turn away or remove inappropriate items or prohibited items. Items with foul language or inappropriate imagery is not permitted. Guests always have the right to refuse to sign any item. Please visit the Safety and Security FAQs to see our list of prohibitted items.
If a guest cancels their appearance, you will be notified, and options for refunds or exchanges for photo op and autographs will be provided.
