Okay, here's economical Kelly speaking up (uh, ok, "cheep" ) I just did the pre-purchase of the photopass CD, and it includes a 30 minute photo session at the GF for $25.

I also bought the "Honeymoon Photo Package" (the one anyone can buy separately), where you get up to a 1 hour photo session in the park/resort of your choice for which includes a white Disney-themed album containing your selection of twenty 4" x 6" prints. Plus you get to keep all the other 4" x 6" prints that they took in the park during the portrait session. All for $310 You have to be in non-wedding attire. You also get a website posting of our photos. Of course the CD is extra (can't remember how much), but at least you have hard copies of ALL your photos!

No, she didn't let me check dates. She stated if I want to go straight to contract to make sure when I call I already have my reservation number (Escape). Yes, I had a different sales consultant. I hope that helps.

Thanks for the Info I didn't get a reservation number she just took a lot of my details for 'my file' so it will be quicker when I call. I will need to ask for a number.

I didnt realise you got all of your photo's for this I might think about buying it anyway.

WOW! How far in advance did you have to purchase the photopass CD? Where would I go to purchase this CD and packages? Thanks.

I just purchased it last week, because I read that they had that special, and sure enough, on the fine print of the confirmation, it said that you could have a photo session at GF for only $25 (you have to bring a hard copy of the confirmation with you) I'm not sure how long the offer will last. Our Wedding/Honeymoon is in May. Here is a link that refers to this offer...

We are having breakfast at 1900 Park Fair after our early morning wedding at Shades of Green, so decided to go with the photo session while we are there. We should even get away with "wedding attire", since my dress is just a simple white sundress with no veil.

Reading that thread has me even more confused, LOL.

This is a few pages before page 113:

1. Follow this link:http://www.disneyphotopass.com/previsitcdplan.aspx
2. Preorder your CD using your credit card
3. A code will be emailed to you
4. When you return from vacation and order your photos, enter that code to get the $99 rate
5. When you go to your photo shoot, print out the 2nd confirmation email to get the $25 rate


ETA: I am reading that the deal is only good for 60 days after you prepurchase a PhotoPass CD?

Editing to add more: The deal seems to be you prepurchase a PhotoPass CD for $99 and get a code to get a photo shoot at the Grand Floridian for $25, but they will also do other resorts.

I do not understand how you get from step 4 "when you return from vacation and order your photos" (I'm guessing from your PhotoPass) to step 5 "when you go to your photo shoot, give them the printed email". Wouldn't you have your photo shoot while you are at the parks? Even $99 plus $25 is a lot cheaper than what Disney would charge for a honeymoon shoot, so this may be something to think about. I am concerned that DFTW only gives 4 x 6 photos - I'd like a bigger wedding picture than that!

There is no 60 day deadline on the photopass pre-purchase confirmation.

From what I read, when you go to a photo session at the resort, you show them the print off of the confirmation (that show's the $25 offer) and they will do the session, and give you a CD with all the pictures on it. You'll get your photopass, when you have your first picture taken by a photopass photographer at the theme parks. When you get home, you can log onto the computer and put in your photopass #, and it will bring all your photos the photopass people took. You can do photo editing on the website, and when you're done, they will mail you the CD with all your photos on it. (which you can then print off at your local discount store) Otherwise, if you don't preorder the CD, it cost more if you decide to buy one later...or you can pay them a ka-zillion dollars for a 4" x 6" print outs.

We had Karen Serrette as well and she allowed us to swap for a 30 minute "alternate shoot." Although we wound up blowing it off for the reasons specified - it's 30 minutes and you get 2 prints.

Me too! Couldn't you always have your pictures enlarged elsewhere if you wanted a bigger picture?

 

[rumrunnergirl]

I think you can if you buy the CD for $750 or something, or you can wait 3 years and buy it for 1/2 price. Then you can enlarge the pictures. I don't have any photographer friends or relatives either, so I'm kinda stuck unless I want to buy a larger package or use an outside vendor.
