[MMKC2222]

Hello,

I am not sure if it is too late to sign up to share. We will be there June 9th - 16th and would love to share the cost.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

It is NOT too late, and actually one person is opting out because she is going to WDW not DL, so welcome

Here is who we have. . . now


hrhlaurie - May 31st - June 2nd***
Grandma Debbie - June 2 - 5 ***
mommyandmore - June 10 - 13th
MMKC2222 - June 9 - 16th
myself - June 18 - 22
HeatherFeather - June 24 - 28

Those with the *** in order to have more of us to split, and because the span of time we spread I would ask that you do not open up your photopass pictures on the account until June 10th - I know that will be a week for your to wait hrhlaurie and 5 days for you Grandma Debbie, BUT this would mean splitting the $124.99 PLUS shiping by 6. . . making a significant savings (I am thinking it will not be more than $25 for us if all 6 of us go in on it). We would then all have to be done adding and editing pictures by July 7th (2 days early, but I want to ensure that NO ONE loses their pictures).

Will this work for you all? If so, we are on. I will create an email account and photopass account before June 10th for us to share. Can you each PM me with your email accounts so I can better keep in touch with you (if you are in).

ALSO - do not add your photopass card numbers to ANY OTHER ACCOUNT - this would invalidate your ability to participate - you can only add your pictures to one account. . . .

I am so sorry I didn't realize it was for DL, I am going to WDW as well. I just did a search for June photopass share it this thread came up. I didn't look where it was listed.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have a question. I'm sharing a photopass with some other DISers in May and we're under the impression that the photos disappear (aka expire) 30 days after they are taken. It looks like you all are adding 30 days to the date you add them to a photopass account. Do you know for sure when the photos expire? TIA.

 

[HeatherFeather]

I am definitely still in for the swap. Let's try to keep this up so we can pick up anyone else who may want to participate.

To answer your question about the deadlines, I believe this is how it works.

You have 30 days from the time the pics are taken to enter them into a photopass account online. Once they are entered online you have 30 days to order prints, or in our case a CD.

I could be wrong, but that is how I THINK it works.

 

[Mom2Joce]

I'm going the same time you are (minus one day) and I think I'd like to get in on this (if that's still an option). I wasn't going to when you originally posted but now I'm thinking it might not be a bad idea.

I think I get the concept but I'd love an explaination on what to do from beginning to end. Also it would make me feel really good about doing this if we knew the exact expiration dates. Maybe you've done this before so you know for sure...I just haven't and would hate to get a ton of pics done and then get home only to find the account has expired

This seems like a great way to go about this and I hope it can work for all of us

 

[Adi12982]

This is what I found on their website:

Be sure to log on now to view your photos. They will only be available for 30 days after they are claimed, and we don't want you to miss out on the fun!

Says from the date claimed. . . . not from when they were taken. . . . so I think you have 30 days to get them in and then 30 while they are on file. . .


In another FAQ they state:

If it has been more than 30 days since your photos were taken and/or more than 30 days since you initially claimed your photos at DisneyPhotoPass.com, they may no longer be available in the system. Please see our storage policy for further details.

gives me the same impression. . . but I will keep searching to be 100% sure

Here it is, under FAQ, Storage Policy:

Disney's PhotoPass Photos

Photos linked to a Disney's PhotoPass ID will be available online by the morning after the photos were taken. Guests must claim photos within 30 days from when the photos were taken. Photos not claimed within 30 days from which they were taken will no longer be available. Once photos are claimed and associated to a DisneyPhotoPass.com account, they will be available for viewing, sharing and purchasing for 30 days from the date they were claimed, after which the photos will no longer be available.

To view the expiration date of a photo in your Photo Bin, click to enlarge the photo. Beneath the enlarged photo, the expiration date will appear. To learn more about the Photo Bin, click here.

Here is how it will work out. . .

Hello there. . . here is how the share is going to work:

1. I am going to create an email and a brand new photopass account.
2. You go on your trip, take loads of photopass pictures (when you go to your first photographer they will give you a card that is scanned after every picture you take)
3. Once you return from your trip (as long as it is after June 10th) you can log onto the account and add your photopass card numbers (We try just to get one, but if one of the days you go to the parks you forget your card, you can get a new one, still free).
4. You have until July 7th to add all your pictures and add embellishments to the pictures (instructions on how will be on the account once you log in).
5. I will order the CD for us all and burn copies for everyone on CD’s or DVD and mail them to you all for free (unless you are so inclined to help out).
6. Once I receive your payment for your portion (and I have received the photopass and burned the copies) I will send you your copy. And then you will have all your memories to do what you please with them forever without having to pay $12 per 5x7 or $125 plus shipping for your own . . .

Let me know if this works out for you, if it does, please post your dates and intention to join the swap on the thread! THANKS

I am a crazy planner . . . wouldn't be on dis if I wasn't. .. . so I decided to break down what the costs will be. . .


$137.94 total ($124.95+12.99 s/h)

4 people sharing = $34.49 per person
5 people sharing = $27.59 per person
6 people sharing = $22.99 per person
7 people sharing = $19.71 per person
8 people sharing = $17.25 per person
9 people sharing = $15.33 per person
10 people sharing = $13.80 per person

My only concern in organizing this is that initially I though I would be giving away 5 DVD's with CD's to them and as this grows it will cost me more and more, plus shipping to all of you. So, if you find it in your kind hearts to throw in an extra couple bucks I would really appriciate it. . . OR how would you each feel about adding $2-3 to the total? Let me know how you feel about that. . .

Getting excited,

Adi

I am so sorry I didn't realize it was for DL, I am going to WDW as well. I just did a search for June photopass share it this thread came up. I didn't look where it was listed.

Photo's from both WDW and DL will work. . . they don't care. I asked and checked and many people have done pictures for both, so if you still want in you are welcome. Just let me know.

 

[HeatherFeather]

I have no problem throwing in a couple extra dollars to pay for the actual CD and shipping it to me.

I am getting excited about doing this. Photopass is the only way I usually get to be in pictures...

I'm in...the more we have the better the price. No matter how many we get involved I would gladly send extra funds for cd's, postage, mailers, etc.
Thanks for all the info!

I know one thing I was wondering...the last 3 trips we went (during the 50th) I only saw 2 places where there were photo's being taken (right time we entered CA, we got a cute one of us pointing at stitch and in front of the castle with tink in our hands) Both very cute but I was wondering where and when I might find more photo opts

I pm'd you with questions about how this would work so maybe you can just post the answers describing each of the steps in the process.

When they take a photo of us for the first time in the park that will establish the card, is that right? Then I download my pics, while I'm at the park, onto this same card? Can I add more from my own pc if I download my pics to it later?

Does the physical card get shared or just the card number?

How do I access my photos later, after the agreed on timeframe - using that number to login to the account?

I've never used these cards before so if we can outline the process I can make sure I'll do my part correctly.

I'm more than happy to send you some money for the cd and thanks for setting this up.

 

[anabelle]

You can add multiple cards to each Photopass account. When you return from a trip you usually collect your cards and go to the website. You log in with an account you create, then you input all your photo pass numbers. It then finds your pictures. You can view your pics, add your embelishments, then purchase or put on a CD. What we are going to do is get one photopass card per family, ADI is going to create the account then give us the info on how to log in. We will then add our photopass number to the account then she will order the CD when everyone has had time to add their pass numbers and embelish their photos. She will copy it and then send it to us. It is simplier then it sounds.

 

[Adi12982]

Here is how it is going to work:

1. You go on your trip, the first photopass photographer you use will give you a photopass card (like a gift card). Each time after that you get them to take your pictures you will let them scan your card. This keeps all your pictures together – if one day you forget your card, it is ok, you can get a new one, but your pictures will be on more than one card – not an issues. The photopass website will let you add multiple cards (which is how we are able to share) (This link will help you find photopass spots: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1409128 ; these will explain how photopass works further if I am not clear: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/special/specialindex?id=DisneyPhotoPassPage ; http://www.allearsnet.com/tp/ppass.htm ). You DO NOT have to do anything other than have them snap pictures and scan the card – no uploading at parks or anything. Just find the photographer, hand them your card and have them take pictures – it is that easy

2. Each of us will have our own card(s). So keep them with you.

3. I will create our very own photopass account to share. You can ONLY add your card numbers (pictures) here. To add the picture you log on and add your photopass card numbers (if you have any issues when that time comes, I can help you). Once they are up you can edit them/add embellishments. Only add your photopass card pictures here, not your personal camera ones. If you add your cards(pictures) to another account they will not be able o be added to our shared account – the website will only let you have your card on one account.

4. None of us should start adding our card numbers (pictures) until June 10th at the earliest!! We must all be done adding pictures and done adding pictures/embellishing by July 7th!!

5. On the 8th I will order our CD(s).

6. Once I receive the CD’s and your portion of the cost I will make your copy and send it along to whatever address you provide me.



PLEASE let me know if you have any other questions
