I need Photo Pass Tips!

Just surfing the net and I came across some pretty good information about photopass at:

Just thought I would share in case others were looking for some answers. Hope this helps some obsessive planners like myself

We had the DVD made up and my daughter gave it to us for Christmas. I cried the entire time as I watched the great time we all had together. Just be on the lookout for all of the photo spots. The mor epics you take the more you will have to choose from.

Just want to add that you can scan your photopass card at Test Track to have that ride photo added to the card. Last I knew, this was the only one you could do that with though...

Someone else mentioned "magic" pictures. I think there is a way to find typical photopass locations on their website and they have the different types of pictures that could be taken at each location. We did the big bunch of balloons in front of the castle. DH, DS and I all pretended to be being dragged off and away while holding the balloons. One of my favs.

You can hold Tink. You can fight Cap'n Hook. You can see Stitch coming out of the ground. Can't remember them all. But if you think about your pics a bit, you can have fun with them.

Also, the character meet n greet stations will often have a photopass photographer. And often the photographer will take candid shots of you while you are socializing with the characters. One of my fav sets is DS playing ape with King Louie in AK. I was so excited to see all the photos that the photographer took. And I got to just enjoy the whole thing and not try to document it all.

In AK you can also hold Baby Simba from the Lion King

I learned an important thing from this thread: I went back and made a 4x6 version of all of the pics I most loved, so that they are saved in both the 5x7 and the 4x6 size, both ones with a border and ones without! Now when I print them they will come out better! Yay!

Here's something that I found out on the PhotoPass site yesterday. I pre-ordered the CD and am going to put in the order soon. I spent a lot of time uploading our own photos to the site thinking they would go on the CD as well, but they won't. Only the PhotoPass photographer pics will go on the CD. The ones from our camera, including ones that I cropped and/or added borders to, are available to buy (at a normal price, not an extreme price) from the site - which is a good option - but I had thought I'd have the special border pics on the CD too. Oh well. So know that only the PhotoPass pics go on the prepurchased CD. You can purchase a separate CD with your uploaded pics but it is additional.

Still worth it, though!
