This may not be the appropriate thread to ask BUT - where can I find more info on PP+? We are leaving in 38 days and if this is something you can order BEFoRE the trip then I would love to do that.

Check out allears website. If you per order you get a big discount

Hey someone a few pages back said MK hours had changed on 2/3 and the park hours had been extended to Midnight. I just check the Disney website and it says EMH 8-10pm. Did they change back or is your info from another source?

 

[godiva99]

am i seeing right? $169.95 for the Photo CD?

So how does this work...you get a new ID card at the parks, take pictures using that ID, then retrieve your photos when you get home?



20 days to go!!!

Is that for the Photo Pass or the Photo Pass+??

Either way, yes. You get a card that the CM photographers will put your pictures onto. You can check the pictures anytime (but once you register the card your 30 day window starts). With the PP+ you can also put ride photos/dining photos on there that you would normally have to purchase separately with the regular PP.

When you get home, edit your photos and order your CD (which you have already paid for when you preorder the PP/PP+). I believe the PP+ also comes with an extra CD of stock photos from Disney.

PP was well worth it for us last year and I'll be doing the PP+ this year. ONE photo package at the dining locations or ride is about $15. Definitely saves me some $$!

Please come back after your trip and let us know what you think of Best Friends Pet Resort. I was considering it for this trip but got a sitter instead.

I will! I'm sure my dog will hate it either way, but from what I've read/pictures I've seen they seem great.

I'd prefer a friend keep her but she's got enough on her plate. She doesn't need to add my ACD to the mix!

 

[eeyorefan107]

Which day do you have planned for Quest. I am going to let my husband and son venture there on the 6th for a few hours

Not really sure. We have WPF&M tickets, and our Mon-Wed schedule is pretty open. We may end up there on the 6th for a little while. =)

 

[Canooknic]

We received our ME mail last week. Should I be expecting something else or do we get the arcade/Planet Hollywood vouchers etc when we check in?

 

[kkayluvsdis]

First for us this trip:

Staying at POFQ
Eating at Akershus, Biergarten, and Boatwright's
New Fantasyland
Going to DisneyQuest
No touring plans...we're going to stop and smell the roses =)

15 days from today we'll be in the car on our way to my Happy Place!! =)

Which day do you have planned for Quest. I am going to let my husband and son venture there on the 6th for a few hours

I would love to hear thoughts on Disney Quest. There are some vouchers that came with our package that I thought my husband and son might want to take advantage of while my daughter is at BBB. My son, however, is only 3. Is there anything at Disney Quest that would be appropriate for him? We've never been!

Thanks for your help....2 weeks from Friday!!!

When should I place my Walmart order? Starting to freak about packing and all that. My husband says I can't get the suitcases out until a week before the trip!

Since some of you seem so knowledgeable about photopass and photopass + I hope you can answer some questions for me. Someone on the thread said that with PP+ you can get your ride pictures too. How do you get that? How do the pictures get on your photopass card? Do you hand your card to the people running the ride before you go on it?

As for vacation 1sts
1st time going with my youngest child
1st time my 2 oldest children will remember going (went when they were 1 and 2)
1st time at Cafe Mickey
1st time at Fantasmic
Soaring
and many more things too

Oh, boy, we leave on February 5 and it is coming up quick. We've decided to fly just with carry-ons, no checked baggage. I'm not sure if that simplifies packing or makes it harder lol. My husband has offered to do some laundry in evenings, so we won't need to pack as much.

I am very excited, but getting a little nervous about the cheerleader stories I've read, I know there will be high school ones at the all-stars with us. I'm hoping since they are high school and not college, that they will be better chaperoned and maybe not have as much access to alcohol. When we check in, I plan to request a room on the 3rd floor, back of the resort, facing the parking lot. Hopefully then we won't hear noise at night. I hope!

 

[pawprints1116]

I may be late to the party, but my boyfriend and I are heading to the world on 2/1-2/7 (and stopping to see harry potter the 7 & 8)! :

and how do you get photopass+?? I've read about it... can you preorder? (sorry if it's answered.. when i glanced back through I didn't see anything)

 

[Wood Nymph]

There have been discussion threads about photopass plus. I had pre-ordered mine in November. It was on sale then for $149 with the pre-order. If you wait until you get to the parks, it is supposed to be $199. Photopass plus includes the rides photos and the photos that you get at some of the special meals. You get a voucher when you pre-order that you turn in at the photopass booth at WDW when you get there. They give you the photopass plus card.

I'll post links to the discussion threads if I can find them. I really don't know too much about it since I've never used it before.

I haven't been to Disney Quest before. I'm sure we'll go a couple times during our stay. My DD18 is a gamer. I know there are a lot of virtual reality rides/games in there. I don't even know if my DGD2 will like it, but it's just the 3 of us girls on our trip and where one goes, we all go.

I have the totes out and some clothes/personal items in them already. I still have to tackle laundry mountain, so I can finish. =)

Yep, you use your PP+ card. With the PP+ you have to redeem the card they send you in the mail at a GS. After the ride, just tell them the ride photo at the viewing booth and they'll toss it onto your PP+ card.

If your group is splitting up they can write down the picture numbers and you can get them within 24 (maybe 48?) hours if you go back later and tell them the number associated with your picture.
