I am looking for 4 Families to participate in a Photopass Share. We are going from Oct. 1-8. PM if you are interested if we get 5 total it will be $25 each. This should cover the cost of shipping and the cost of CD's.
Everyone participating should know what it entails, and makes sure they are comfortable in participating, and the rules set out by their leader. I have posted some links below, that help explain how sharing has worked in past groups, and how the general idea works. Groups work best with 5 families in each group... this allows the price to stay reasonable, and for their not being a completely ridiculous number of families to sort through when uploading and editing.
It will be up to each individual group leader to contact everyone who has been assigned in their group via PM, and set out their own rules, and prices. I will lead a group, and manage the updates on this initial thread, so people know who's group to which they have been assigned, but other than that, you should work with your individual group leaders.
This is what we need to do:
INFO & LINKS OF USE:
Here is how a photopass share works: (Copied from multiple posts)
1) Get a photopass card from a photopass photographer when they take your pictures in the parks. Have fun and have lots of photopass photographers take your picture. Each photographer will scan your photopass card to add photos to your photopass card id number.
2) When you get home, rather than create your own Photopass account on the Disney Photopass website, you will use a photopass account that is already created by The Group Leader.
3) All the people in your group will add their photopass card IDs to this same account (Username & Password provided upon receipt of funds) on the Disney Photopass website. You can edit your photos there (add borders, crop, etc) and then once everyone in the group has added their photos and edited their pictures, The Group leader will order the CD of pictures that cost $125 plus tax and shipping. ($99 on sale preorder right now) All the members split the cost evenly.
4) Everyone's pictures will be on this CD. The Group Leader will order and will make copies for all other people in the group and mail them their copies. You can then take this CD to any photo place and get your photos developed as you wish because Disney sends a copyright release with the CD.
5) The cost will decrease with more members in the group.
6) There is NO LIMIT to how many pictures you can take. If a group has enough pictures to fill more than one CD, Disney will send as many additional CD's as it takes at no extra charge.
7) The photos will need to be edited by a date dictated by your group leader. The Group leader will order the PhotoPass CD from Disney after this date.
NOTE: Sharing a CD means that strangers (the people within the group) will have a copy of your trip photos. Some people may not be comfortable with that.
IMPORTANT: From the time the first photo is loaded onto the group photopass account you must be done editing, and order the CD within 30 days. So everybody needs to get their photopass IDs added to the account as soon as possible upon their return. The sooner the better, so that everyone can get their CDs ASAP. (Some leaders may chose to assign "load days" for each group member, to avoid confusion, and to have all of a particular family's pictures grouped together.)

THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO DEBATE THE ISSUE OF WHETHER PEOPLE SHOULD SHARE PHOTOPASS OR NOT, THIS IS SIMPLY A THREAD I STARTED TO HELP KEEP US LATE SEPTEMBER EARLY OCTOBER TRAVELERS ORGANIZED IN GETTING SET UP IN GROUPS. If you want to debate, do so elsewhere!
Ok...
Let's get this started.

I need to stay home and look at my books some more, otherwise I will not have any money to spend!
Have a great day!
I know how you feel my DW and I go to the 
when you are waiting for vacation. Where are you staying in WDW?
We are staying off property @ Liki Tiki (using time share exchange). I have read very mixed reveiws, so I am hoping the bad reviewers are just Grumpy people.
I really don't want my kiddos to ask when looking at our scrapbooks in the future, where is mom? Did she go on this trip??? 
but you can check it out.
It just was a coincidence that my Screen Name is Stitch75. My daughter picked it out.
sad2: My DH asked only onw thing of me this trip- that I do not open AND close the parks everyday of the vacation. (I have been known to do just that!
