MAJOR PRICING CHANGE TO PHOTOPASS CD-read this if you will be combining WDW & DLR

[Dizneydaz]

I have always combined my WDW and DLR PP together and paid the DLR price of $59.95. Just got back from WDW about 2 weeks ago and went to DLR a few days ago. Pricing still showed $149.95. I sent PP an email-here's their reply:

Thank you for your interest in Disney's PhotoCD products.

Our policy has changed from previous years. The computer automatically
reads where the pictures were taken and sets the price accordingly. Any
photos taken at Walt Disney World will have the $149.95 because of the
additional parks and photographers available.

The Walt Disney World PhotoCD is $149.95 and includes all valid
PhotoPass photos from your Disney's PhotoPass card(s), including photos
with added Disney borders and graphics. You may receive your PhotoCD
shipped via compact disc (s) or as a download from the webiste. A
copyright release will also be included with your Disney's PhotoCD. This
copyright release will allow you to take the PhotoCD to the developer of
your choice to have the photos printed.

Each PhotoCD will contain only the designated photos. The Disney
PhotoCD does not include any unclaimed or expired photos. Photo
processing is not included in any PhotoCD purchase price.

If you have any questions, please contact us.

Have a Magical Day,

I had just done this in May/June when my DSis and her DH took a trip to WDW in May and then we also went to DLR in May/June (inc. trips with same DSis) They only took about 25 or so photos at WDW so they wouldn't have gotten them if it had been $149.95.

The biggest bummer for me is that I get more PP taken at DLR than at WDW. And they no longer take PP photos at the waterparks between Labor and Memorial Days. And most of the photographers are at the character meet 'n greets and there aren't as many around the 4 main parks.

Looks like I can tell my DM and DD that we won't have to take any more PP at WDW. I won't pay the $149.95 (or $99.95) for the limited ones we get.

I wanted to pass this info along as soon as I found it out. I also posted about in on the DLR boards and Facebook.
