Just ordered Photopass Plus

[Portugal1000]

After 9 trips have just ordered first Photopass Plus.My brothers family coming for first time so we will be having lots of photos with my six year old nieces. Also have 3 of the restaurants booked where you get the photo package so I thought it was probably worth it. My sister in law would not be able to resist buying all the photos so hopefully this will work out cheaper.
Can anyone give me any tips to getting the most out of this because as I said, we have never really bothered with photopass before. So interested to hear peoples experiences.
Has anyone made up one of those photobooks on their return. I was going to have a go and give it to them as a gift.

After all our trips its like going for the first time again, haven't done this much planning before but want it to be perfect for my family.

First off with the meals - when you go up to the photographers hand over your card with the slip of paper and then they will automatically get added to your photopass+ card.

With rides - if you are not altogether make sure that the photo number gets noted as you have until the end of the following day to go back and get them added.

Other than that just stop at as many photographers as you can in the park

I have done the photobooks several times and love them - they are great memories as I am really lazy for getting the other photos printed.

I know it sounds tedious, but stop and get photos at every photographer (except maybe walking down Main Street. XD)

Also make sure they know that you hav photopass preordered and sometimes they'll take more pictures for you (very true of character photopass photographers).

Just have fun with it. Photopass is great.

We plan atleast 2 days at each park. First day will be rides, rides, rides. Second day more relaxed, some rides but lots of character photos as the girls are only 6 and really do want to see as many as possible. My son is 12 now so we haven't really done the characters for a while so am really looking forward to doing it all over again. Really looking forward to all the Princess stuff.

Ask the photographers for magic shots, they are fantastic and there are so many, ask many photographers as they all have different ones to offer, you have to pose, i.e. the photographer will say come and sit on this bench and all turn to your left and look at the end of the bench then smile and wave (silly right, we sure felt silly sometimes but it's worth it) when you look at your pictures Minnie Mouse will be sitting at the end of the bench Waving back at you, another example would be in Hollywood studios we got told to point to the ground and look shocked, nothing was there obviously but when we looked back at the picture stitch was jumping out of the ground! There are sooooo many and they are all fantastic
