Go Crazy with the Photo Pass

[Torazin]

Another thought -

The CM photographers will also use you own personal camera to take your picture for you as a family/group. I am the designated photographer (since I am a professional photographer ) for our family, so I am very rarely in pictures. I had several CM's ask if I would like them to use my camera to take a family picture, too. (And a few of them commented on how much nicer my camera was than theirs!! ) They took the Photopass picture first, then used my camera to get the same picture. We ended up not buying the Photopass CD, because I completely forgot about it. However, we still have pictures of us as a family thanks to the wonderful CM's that used my camera!!

How can I make sure I get one when I first enter the parks ??
Is there someplace I have to go ??

PhotoPass photographers roam the parks. You can get a PhotoPass card from any PP photographer free of charge.

Do the water park ones now go on photo pass too? How does that work? TIA

There are PP photographers at the water parks; their equipment works just like those in the theme parks. But the cards they give out in the water parks are slightly smaller and come with a coily wrist strap (which many people like better than the regular plain card). Regular PP cards can be used at the water parks, and the cards from teh water parks can be used everywhere else, too.

Sounds like a great idea! Does anyone know if you can get this if you're a non-US resident?

Yup. The PP web site says:

Also, some of the bigger rides are photopass also so check that out. You just have to ask. I know Test Track had their own scanners and you just went up to which ever monitor had your picture and scan it onto your photopass.

The only ride that currently has PhotoPass machines is Test Track.

I have heard unconfirmed reports that you can take you r PP card to the desk at some of the other rides and get the ride photos added to your card, but I have not been able to verify this myself.

Just wondering if I can do this. I am ready to order the CD and wanted to know if I can add my personal pics to the photopass CD.

Anyone know?

Thanks

You can upload your personal pics to the PP site for use in the PhotoPass album, but personal pics will NOT be included on the CD.

If your family splits up for the day, can you use different cards for the same photo pass account?

Absolutely! You can put up to 999 PhotoPass cards into a single account, so get one for each member of the family. In fact, it's a good idea to have multiple cards swiped each time you have a pic taken, which reduces the possibility of a pic getting lost in the system.

My wife and I used the photopass our last trip in February and stopped at every CM we saw that was taking photos for the photopass. After editing online before ordering, (to add the borders and signatures for characters) we ended up with about 400 photos in all. This next trip we're planning on maxing out the photopass.

yep, and if you go to the budget board we have set up groups who are going the same time that will share the cd.. saving even more money.

When you buy the cd, does that give you rights to have the pictures printed off at say, Walmart? What about if you have a copy of the cd (like the groups that are sharing?

Yup. In fact, that's the whole point - you get a legal release with the CD that gives you total and complete ownership of the files, allowing you to modify, copy, share, or print them however you choose, wherever you choose.
