Photopass Superthread!

Can someone help? I must have missed something because I thought I read on this thread recently something about tiered PP+ packages (maybe one for about 70 and a different one for about 100) but 1) now I can't find it and 2) I am not seeing it on the link that I DID manage to find and follow. Am I just imagining it or are there really two different PP+ options? Can someone post the link to where I can see those and the differences?

The only place I saw the tiers was in the blog post. Basically, the only tier you can buy online is the $69 seven day pass that includes downloads of your photos, including dining and ride photos. Then there is the $99 version that adds a voucher for a printed copy of a dining photo. The third is $119 that adds the voucher for the print and a DVD of your photos (if you also want the downloads you have to present your app when you purchase the package.) the top two tiers can only be purchased at the photo shops in the parks.

Someone please pipe in if I got something wrong or missed something.

So are the PhotoPass downloads that come with the AP's (higher tiered) the same as PhotoPass +?

Yes. Ride and dining photos* (but not the prints) are included as well. However, they expire 365 days later rather than 45 days.

*I've seen reports of some having difficulty getting the download code from a few cast members at dining locations who are not aware of all the fine print. But it is in writing included. I personally had no issues getting the code after sharing with the cast member that I was a Sig+ passholder.

Thank you. We usually do get the printed photo when we have done PP+ in the past from Breakfast with Minnie and Friends. On a couple of occasions I have purchased the photo by itself without PP+ but I have received an AP discount on it...but can't remember what I paid! I'll have to figure out if it's worth an extra $30 for the print copy. My sister, with whom we are traveling this time, is a photo person so she will probably be OK with the download only.

Has anyone else had the problem that the photos expire before they should? We went to Disneyland in June for two days and when we came back home I linked my photopass cards to my account and tried to order all pictures for the two days but was not able to place the order even though I tried several different credit cards etc. Strange since I have placed Photopass orders three times before with no problems. Anyway, I sent them an e-mail and got a response five days later that they would add a one-time photo extension and that my photos would begin to expire on August 12, 2016 at 8AM EST. Which is tomorrow. I went in and looked at the pictures and could see myself that the ones from the first day would expire on the 12th and the ones from the second day would expire on the 13th. However, now when I went to the Disney site to order them, hoping it would work this time, all the photos are gone. Both the ones expiring tomorrow and the ones expiring on Saturday. I'm really panicking because I need those pictures since they are invaluable memories for our family expecially for our 7 year old son. I e-mailed them but the automatic response says they willl get back within 7 days which doesn't really make me feel better. Also tried the chat but it seems like it's never on even though it's within the stated timeframe when it should be open. :sad2:

I realize I'm too late to be of help here, but, when it's urgent like that, call them. Don't e-mail. Last year, I received my CDs from the original PP+ after my pictures had expired, and one of the discs was delaminated and wouldn't work. Since my pictures had already expired, I called and explained the situation, and the awesome CM un-expired my pictures, sent me a whole new set of discs, and gave me download access as well.

So we get unlimited downloads though right? Just making sure I know how to use it. Lol
 


Is anyone having problems linking their photo pass to the DL app? It's actually my AP photo pass and I've used it with the app In The past and now I get an error message, for the past few days... :confused3:confused:
 
I'm sure this has been answered but I can't bring myself to go through the 43 pages again....

I'm going to upgrade to a Signature AP which includes PP+. Is this the highest tier, the $99 or the $69 option?

I know it would have been faster to call but very expensive so that's why I e-mailed instead. Anyway, the good news is that they responded to my e-mail today and they have now extended my photos so that they expire next week instead, so I'm very happy! :tigger:

Closest is $69 because all you get with Sig and Sig+ is the download access to ask Photopass pictures (this includes dining, rides, and magic shots). The $99 tier includes a voucher for dining photos (the physical print outs they bring to your table) and the Disneyland Resort gallery disc (DVD of professional stock type photos). Both include downloads of all photos taken.

The reason I say closest is because with the Sig and Sig+ passes, the images don't expire for 365 days. They expire after 45 days with the purchasable PP+.
 
The Photopass that comes with the AP, how exactly does that work? If I have the AP, are my kids still allowed to get photos taken (if they go off on their own) and add it to my account? If so, how does that work?

They'll just get photopass cards and you can link them to your account. If they do rides with photos they can either write the number down or take a picture of the screen so that you can link those too.
 
This upcoming Friday (August 19, 2016) is PhotoPass Day in the Disney Parks. WDW is doing a lot more (based on the Disney Parks Blog), but it does sound like there should be one complimentary Photopass location in DL and DCA that day (scroll down below the image of Gideon and Foulfellow to read the details). No special characters or anything like that is mentioned (unlike at WDW).
Celebrate Disney PhotoPass Day on August 19

And now they've posed the locations:

Just back and I have to say the PP+ worked great! I didn't think I'd use the app on my phone but ended up doing it that way because it was so convenient and quick to see the photos. The only place we ran into a little trouble was at Goofy's. It works a little differently on the character meals -- instead of the photographer scanning your code like they do everywhere else, the server brings the photos already printed to your table and asks if you want to buy them. After I told her I had the PP+ and would just like to download, she seemed confused but eventually gave me a card with a number on it to add to the app myself.

Also we somehow didn't get a single magic photo! I kept looking for the photographers at the sites I knew that had them but they were never there when we were. I thought maybe we'd get one by chance but no such luck.
 
I must be way out of the loop. Both when I follow the iink someone provided upthread, and when I google "Disneyland Photopass," all I get is the "sign in to your account." When I sign in, I have options to add "photo ID numbers" or something, but I am not seeing an option to buying the $69 (or any other) weeklong option.

Can someone help me?

From there, you will see a link for "Photopass Plus - One Day." Click on it, even though you want a week (yes, really!) That will take you to a page where you can buy either a day or a week. :)
 
I was just trying to buy the 1 week PP+ and I'm wondering if I will get a disc or just digital downloads? Also, If we're leaving in 2 weeks for DLR should I be worried at all about a voucher coming in the mail?

Sorry, I just remember how it worked last year and I'm having trouble catching up on the new way of doing PP+.
