Disney Photobook?

[mickeyfanz]

Hi-

I am a first time digital scrapbooker and was wondering if anyone used the Disney Photobook on the Photopass site? I am trying to decide whether or not to purchase my CD and/or create a photobook there. Can anyone tell me the acvantages/disadvantages of doing this? Were you happy with yours?

Thanks for any advice!

I didn't do this, but my sister did. We made my mom a scrapbook for our trip 3 years ago and she wanted one after this last trip. Figured that for the $$ vs the time, this was a good alternative. The only tips I have are:

1. Type your journaling in Word to spell check - the photobook doesn't spellcheck for you.
2. Don't use the 1 picture on a page option. If you do, make sure NO ONE is close to where the binding would be or they will be IN the binding.
3. Try printing your pictures in a size close to the size they will be in the book. She uploaded some of the ones we took. They didn't look blurry at all small, but when blown up to 5x7ish size, you could notice some blurryness due to pixellation or just unsteady hands taking the pic.

After realizing this and calling them, they were really nice about her sending back & re-doing this for her. As far as the CD goes, I suggest adding borders and saving as many copies with crops/borders as you can. Though, honestly the past 2 trips we've had, we hate our photopass pictures. I'd rather stand in line @ the end of the day & have an awesome picture than the bad ones I get lately.

Depending on where you are from, the shipping rates can be high. I am in Canada, and was all set to make one, then uploaded and found the shipping was $30.
I emailed them about this, but had no reply.
