Is photopass worth it for two people?

[TriciaSDMom]

Now that the pre-order of the photopass CD is back, I'm trying to decide whether or not to use it on my upcoming trip. It will just be me and DH going. Last time I bought the CD because we had a total of 7 people with us. But now I'm just not sure if it's worth the money for only two people. Plus we are leaving the kids with Grandma and I'm not sure they will appreciate a reminder that we went without them.

For two people not in my opinion. Just got back so it is fresh on my mind.

We only had two only had two people and we enjoyed having it

Only worth it if you make it worth it. I like to take the opportunity to get my picture taken a lot, so I use the PhotoPass a bunch. If you want the two of you in the shots, you'll obviously want to use PhotoPass Photographers. That being said - huge group does totally make it worth it. Going with just me, Dsis, DNc, and DNp - not so much worth it afterall. Is the pre-order special that huge of a difference in price? I'd say if it's not, wait until you get home to decide.

I was just in this situation last month. Just DH and myself. I paid for the preorder, we took advantage of every photo op we saw. We came out with 53 pictures I am so glad we did it. I knew however that if we didn't get enough pictures that we could get a refund. I hope that helps.

Join a photopass share. They are not allowed on this site any more but there are groups on offer on other sites. Do not know if I can put the web sites on the DIS?

My husband and I we kind of pushed into it by the photographer (which was FINE) we had him/her take two and then we handed her/him our camera and they took one for us Worked GREAT! By the time we left we had a whole bunch of pictures on our camera and our card! It didn't cost us any money and they were very fun to look at when we got home!

I say, WHY NOT!?

However, we were there in early October, which was pretty slow. I probably wouldn't wait in line for it, though.

I've done Photopass a few times and not done Photopass.

I will definitely be ordering Photopass from now on. I'm a solo traveler sometimes and it is a godsend! Plus, the magic shots are just great and the borders pretty cool.

It is definitely better to share costs and try to find some if you can, but even alone, it is worth it. One shot tht you want printed out can cost $20 or more!

My husband and I use Photopass all the time...we generally get between 20-30 pictures, the last time, after adding all the borders and cropping and what not, ended up with over 300 pictures.....scrapbookers dream

Like others have said it is only worth it if you make it worth it. When DH and I went in May 2008 we did photopass and stopped at everyone we saw. By the time it was all said and done (adding boarders, ect) we had over 1000 pictures on the CD! We did do a shoot at the GF when they did it for the $25 but even if we did not so that we would have still had 800-900 pictures!! We have bought the photopass twice since that trip!

DH and I always get the photopass and we love it. We make it a point of finding all the photographers we can so we get a ton of pics to choose from. And it is nice to have pics of the two of us together on vacation.

I always use Photopass because I love pictures first of all and I love having all the options. My BF tends to hate me sometimes because we basically stop at most all the photopass people But it is def worth it

I preordered the photopass and DH wasn't interested in getting many pictures taken. When I got back I decided to get the refund and just get a couple of the pictures taken by paying for the ones I wanted. They do run specials on the website if you only want a couple of the pictures.

Last year I just got a photo download sent over the net of a couple of the pictures. It's less expensive and they give you a release that you can print them out as well. And if you decide to get them all, you still have the preordered photopass.

I don't think photopass is worth it period. My mom just spent a week at Disney by herself and she utilized photopass so I could see what she was up to while she was down there. I was hoping to order a few pics but omg, the majority of them were horrible. Some of the pics look like the photographer isn't even looking into the lens or are really crooked. Or like they've completely caught her offguard. I think random strangers would have taken better shots with a digital camera if she'd asked them. Personally I'd invest in a good camera and take them myself where possible.

We are going for the first time in September and this is a must for us!

We have so many shots of just one of us from other holidays because we don't want to keep asking people to take photos of the 2 of us together and even when you do you never know how it will come out

We are really looking forward to getting lots of pictures of the 2 of us together and as we are there for 3 weeks staying on site I think there will be lots of opportunities for pictures - expecially the magic ones!

I went with a group of 4 adults last year and we did pre-purchased Photopass. In a week, we came home with about 100 pictures of us and it was totally worth it. Not every picture was great, but the majority were good. Especially the magical pictures.

My mom and I are going later this month (just the two of us) and we've pre-ordered the CD for our trip. It's a special trip and we're going to take full advantage of the Photopass photographers when we see them. It will also be nice not to have to worry about digging out a camera all the time.

 

[CobaltDragon]

how do you get mutiple photopass cards. We are going with 12 people, and I'd like to allow each adult (7 of them) to have a photopass card linked to the same account, so we can order one CD and get pictures of everyone. Can you just photocopy the one that came in the mail and use that?

 

[carrie80]

I'm just curious. How much is the PhotoPass CD? I tried to look it up on the Disney site but there is not a price listed.

 

[JenSop]

We've bought the Photopass on our last two trips - and the last time we went, it was just DH and myself. But there were so many great shots that we decided to get it.

Right now, I believe the pre-order price comes to about $100.

Two years ago, we combined our Photopass cards together on the website. I can't remember exactly how we did it, but it was possible.

This reminds me, I better pre-order that photopass!!!

I go with my daughter (5 years old) and we get the photo pass each time, it's worth it to us, it's the best way we get pics of us together
