MVMCP Photo this year?

[OKW Lover]

Do we still get a free photo at MVMCP this year?

No, you'll receive 50% off photopass purchases. I'd rather just have the one free one.

 

[OKW Lover]

Me too. I'm not going to do the picture then. I'll also be sure to let them know that I don't appreciate the way they continually down-grade the experience at MVMCP.

50% off PUCHASES or the Photopass CD itself?

I was wondering about this, my receipt that came with my passes says on it that I get "one souvenir per party" so does that mean that we can only get our picture taken once?

THis is what ticks me off a little. They note that you'll get one souvenier, which is what they did in the past. You would get one photo taken, and then get as many copies of it as you had people in the photo. Now I've heard that they're not giving the photos at all!!!

The 50% off photopasses is just a way to make more money because A) people have to spend money in the first place to get the photos and B) a lot of people won't bother buying them, so they won't get photos at all.

I'm very disappointed in this, because we had such nice photos when we went to MVMCP and MNSSHP, and was looking forward to getting another picture this year. Geez, for $45 a ticket you think this wouldn't be such a big deal.

At MNSSHP, and I expect for MVMCP, you got a special photo pass card that was used during the party. Using this card, you could either go to one of the photopass locations that evening or wait and order the photo(s) on line once you got home. Although it says 50% off one 5x7, I was able to get 50% off multiple photos as long as they were on the Special Photo pass cards.

I am probably in the minority, but I liked the option of different locations for the photo. They had photographers with Mickey, Minnie, Cinderella's coach, and several other locations throughout the park.

Both photos in my siggy from the two MNSSHP were from the Photo Pass.

I can't find anywhere on my paper that came with my tickets (fineprint) that states anything that my FREE photo can be subject to change.

So they will be giving me my 3 free one and I'm not concerned about 3 of the same photo as we give 1 away and DW takes 1 to work.

I don't even care if they have to give me a voucher to use on-line later but I'm getting something and wasting alot of time getting it .

As far as them changing it or MNSSHP offering the 50% off thats fine as long as the say so before I decide to purchase my tickets and not after the fact.

OT, Martha, how many autographs does Tara have now?

I count about 87 different ones - we have multiples of the same characters in different outfits or from different locations.

Martha, does that mean that we can't use the regular photopass on the MVMCP night, or do you have the option of using your regular photo pass or the 50% off one??

I'm asking because we're planning to have all our photopass pictures put onto a CD, which is one flat rate. The 50% off the photos shouldn't effect that. I don't want to buy all the rest of my photos in one transaction and have to buy the party photos in a seperate transaction if I don't have to.

You have to use the 50% off card to get that discount but if you are getting the CD they can put up to 4 different cards on it ( I think it's that amount).

I E-mailed them as we wanted to see about doing both our MNSSHP and our MVMCP all on the the CD they said it's with-in the 60 days so we will be OK.

Also when you pull up the 50% card on Photopasses web-sight it shows the ones from the regular cards as well.

No, no more free photo for the parties this year.

Unfortunately, for Disney, though, some customers got the letter with their tickets that still mentions the 'free souvenir" photo and others didn't so they'll probably have a mess on their hands with those willing to put up a stink.

I was a little bummed about the free photo being gone but I actually made out in the end. When I went to buy my Photopass photos online, I combined both my regular Photopass photos and my MNSSHP photos and when I ordered 3 photos (some from MNSSHP and some from other parks) they all got the 50% off!! So I paid $21.90 including shipping for 3 photos that are normally $12.95 each (so $41.34 at full price with shipping for 3).

I did complain to a Disney executive that called me about a week ago about my MNSSHP experiences and about how the price keeps going up for the ticket but the perks are dwindling away, the free photo and free buttons (at MVMCP) for example. It felt good to let them know how I feel about that.

we bought our MVMCP tickets first -- got a confirmation with a free photo op. A few weeks later my parents decided to join us on our trip, and when I ordered their tickets --- no free photo mentioned.

Apparently they just couldn't make up their mind this year!

Thats the later ones that were sent .

Mine states the excact same thing . But right after the USAwhere yours end mine has

and one**Souvenir Photo per party!
** You must present your ticket at any designated photograph location when recieving a souvenir photo.


Then break and into the dining options.

My MNSSHP was like yours with no mention of the photo at all.So this is the problem here we all have different letters that came with out tickets.
