How does photopass work?

[sharoncity]

I am trying to figure out how exactly photopass works. I am not having any luck with my searches. Can someone either explain it or post a link for me?

How do I "signup" for it? Where are the pictures taken? Do I have to edit the pictures at DL before I leave or can I do it online after I get home? It is $99 right? Since we only get to Disney every 4 to 5 yrs, I think it is worth it for us. And this is only our second trip to DL, DS's 1st trip to DL.

Thanks for your help as always!

We didn't utilize it to its full extent, but this is how we used it.

We took our first family pic in front of castle on our first day. The photographer asked if we had a card, and I said not yet. She took a couple pics, then handed us a card (like a credit card). Each time you want another DL photographer to photograph you, hand them your card and they will add the pic to the card.

You don't have to purchase the photos at DL, you can come home, review, edit and then have them shipped to you.

As for cost, someone else will have to answer that one. . .

What she said is correct!

As for prices, you can buy the CD with every picture on it for $124.95. Each picture costs $12.95 for a 5x7.

What everyone else said is correct.

And... if you wait until you get home and hold off ordering the CD until about 10 days before your photopass expires, they should send you a coupon code for 20% off the CD. This is what we did and, with shipping it came to just about $102 I think.

And remember, have as many pictures taken by Disney as possible. You get an unlimited amount of pictures for the CD (we had 461). Well worth the $$ in my opinion.
