Once you have your photo CD you can print photos anywhere. I think you can pretty much do anything you want with them, but I would need to re-read the CD info before I say for sure.

Yes, you can. There's a nice license agreement (PDF) on the CD.

Thank you both! That makes is a pretty good deal considering the cost to do their prints via their website.

True, but the real value here is that you are getting the normally $30+ each Dining Photo Packages (Hard copy and on your PP+ card) and the normally $15 each Ride Photos (on PP+ card) included in the normal regular price of a PhotoCD.

For our 6 night stay, we are planning on going to at least 3 of the Dining locations and at least 15 photo rides, so that's over $300 for free (granted I wouldn't pay the full price for most of that, but you can see the value here).

I just wanted to let everyone know about my experience. We arrived on Tuesday, July 17th with no plans to go in park but we did have a reservation at Goofy's for dinner. I went to Guest Services and asked about an escort/shopping pass and was told they don't do that so I had to purchase a one day ticket for $87 and was told if I was back in one hour they would refund the money back to my card. I was back and it worked but I didn't like that charge/refund thing because some times refunds take longer to get put back by the CC company and that might tie up funds for someone who has a tight budget for their trip.

My exchange was fine. Make sure you get a receipt for PP+ because a cashier at the photoshop told me I could use that info if I lost my PP+ card. Also, I got receipts for most of my ride photos with the ride number after they added them. I checked my PP+ online when we got home and all rides with receipt or not were added. And, when in the parks I noticed way more PP photographers than I saw on my last trip. It was awesome!

Just wanted to post my experience.

Thank you for posting your experiences. That one hour pass/escort sounded a little too good to be true. It seems like it is possible but it isn't as easy as they make it sound. You're right about the refund. It seems like a charge comes through in about 10 minutes and a refund takes about 10 days.

At Ariel's Grotto, do you only get a photo with Ariel on your PP+ card or do you know if they have added more photographers to include the other princesses as they circulate throughout the room?

We were there in July and you only get the Ariel photo the rest are with your own camera. The night before from across the pier we did see the princess minnie was there at Ariels so when we went the next day our DD was hoping she would be there for lunch but she was not...

We did enjoy doing this photo pass offer, we were really able to get our $$ worth by getting the ride pictures each time...and since it was DD first time going on California Screaming the pictures are priceless...all 3 times

Thanks for the info! Yes, I'm thinking the same thing with our daughters since we're planning on taking them on California Screaming for the first time too!!

I just received my photopass+ CD, only 3 days after I bought it. I'm in Oregon, but still, I thought that was pretty fast.

This is from the Disney site: http://www.facebook.com/notes/disney...50650931518325

"Q. I have a large family—how many Disney PhotoPass+ cards will I receive?

R. Only one Disney PhotoPass+ card will be provided with each purchase. However, multiple PhotoPass cards can be accumulated during your visit, and all of those photos can be added to your account. In order to receive your Attraction and Dining photos, the PhotoPass+ card holder must be present at the time of photo capture."

Do they really enforce that the card holder has to be present at photo capture? What if my family splits up? We have little kids so that's likely. I thought I could go back before the end of the day and add the ride photo to the card.

Nevermind. Found the answer.

Q. My family may split up and go on two different Attractions however only one Disney PhotoPass+ card is provided, what can I do?

R. If your family splits up and goes on different Attractions you may save your Ride Stub with the photo # and later on stop by the Attraction to claim the photo with your Disney PhotoPass+ card. Keep in mind that photos are available in our system for only 48 hours after capture; make sure you visit the Attraction to claim your photo within that time period.

Dearest SIL bought me a PP+ for my upcoming trip! I love that it has the 350+ Disneyland images on the disc with license for personal use. That's a cool little perk before we ever go to the parks.
