What a great thread! I have only read through about page 20 but I wanted to ask a couple of questions, forgive me if they are asked somewhere in this huge thread.
1- We will not have magic bands. . how will they link or pictures? Just by using the card?
Yes. Or you can get regular PP cards from the photog and add the numbers from the card to your account to add photos.
2- Ride photos that aren't linked... I think I read somewhere you can go to the photo booth after and have them added to your MM card? Is that correct? Yes.
3- if our group separates (just 4 of us so not huge) and one runs into a photo op, how can we get those photos? Photopass photographers have cards they carry around that can be added to your account (there are numbers on them to link the card). If they ride a ride without you, you will need to return to the ride within 24 hours to have the ride photo added.
Thanks for all this great advice!
