If you are on target for a 15/mile pace you will do fine. Like the other poster said, the balloon ladies don't start until the last person of the last corral crosses the starting line, so depending on your corral it is very possible for you to have inflated finish times without being swept and even like you say finish the race with a pace greater than 16 min/mile.
I never stopped for pics unless the line was really short, and I wouldn't advise stopping in a long line if you are worried about pace. In fact, I would choose pace over characters any day.
I am so excited for you!
