Silly question...does the pp+ include the actual prints too, or its it just the pictures for you to print on your own?

I'm down with a sore throat now, so better now than later. Hope the rest of the famil doesn't get sick by the 6th! I'm taking the girls Motrin, Tylenol, same for me, pepto bismol and dayquil

pp+ is a cd of all your photos. You have license to make all the prints you want. You also can add borders and stamps from the pp website if you wait until you get home to submit your order. We did it last trip and really loved getting multiple ride pics without an extra fee.

Hope you feel better soon!

This link has an excellent and easy to read list of what photopass+ includes:

https://www.facebook.com/notes/disneys-photopass-service/new-disney-photopass/10150650931518325

Must I pick up my PP+ card in the park or can I pick it up at my hotel? I read that Poly has a place for PP but is they for viewing/printing pictures only? I have a voucher and it must be turned in to get a PP card.

I'd hate to waste time at rope drop looking up get my PP+ card. I'd rather have it the night before.

According to the link above, you can pick up your card at Trader Joe's at the Polynesian.

Does anyone know if PP+ has BBB pictures included?

You can load the BBB pictures onto your card.

Silly question...does the pp+ include the actual prints too, or its it just the pictures for you to print on your own?l

You get the print packages from the dinners listed. That is why I bought the PP+ card. We are going to three of the dining locations. So we will get the print packages. Right there is about $90 worth of prints.

Yippee for crowd levels. They've been pretty consistent and low except for when New Fantasyland 1st opened. However, I was concerned any way because of hotels being sold out. Snowed here today & now cold. So ready for WDW. Hoping for better weather forecast for 2/2-2/9, especially 2/6!

 

[Interrobang]

You can get it in the park for full price.

Thanks so much! That seemed like it had to be the case, but I couldn't find anything actually saying that.

I hear you. It is absolutely FREEZING here today. The wind hurt my ears like crazy when I went out
It's increasing my vacation anticipation for sure. We went to the Poly in February of 2011. I distinctly remember not even caring when we stood out in the rain because it was still warm

Crowds are looking ok for my dates. Mostly 3's and 4's with our first day being a 7. Our first day is the Saturday that people are wrapping up their Presidents Day week trips. It was listed as a 10 for months, so it was nice to see it drop to a 7!

 

[aaarcher86]

Just looked at the crowd calender... I'm hitting the park to avoid nearly everyday

I'm not worried - if overall crowds are 3/10 the park to avoid will still be pretty light

The info is from Touring Plans and technically not allowed to be posted on the boards since people pay for that information.

Well it's nice to share

Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of you in Epcot on 2/6

We are saying to hell with the touring plans for once and doing what we want so we can catch the electrical parade. I haven't seen it since I was a kid and I'm not missing it, since we went cheap and didn't get the hopper this time I'm stuck at MK for 2/2. But screw it, we know it's going to be busy so we scheduled Pirates League for the middle of the day and if it gets too bad we'll monorail around for a while! And I gotta do HS on 2/4, the extra 2 hours is too hard to resist hehe. Yep, they got me.

thank you! Seems like a mild cold with a bad throat infection because i'm starting to lose my voice again...get laryngitis quite often...Tylenol has been my friend these past two days...keeps it manageable.

So...NO prints aside from the Character Meals.

I would get rights for the ride pictures...What about BBB? THey offer a package with the photos, but we're only doing the basic since we have all our dresses and accesories already...they'll take the pictures and print for us there?

We're doing CRT but that already includes the pictures...

So I'd be getting prints for Crystal Palace, Tusker House and BBB?
And the right so spend more money to have the other printed?
If I may ask, what is the average cost for the ride pictures? Character pictures?

I'm tempted to get it just to make sure I get great pictures with ME in them...but its ridiculously expensive to pay so much to have your picture taken!

i've been doing a lot of reading, like A LOT, and i am just wondering something now. what is the point of EMH if everyone avoids them like the plague? i'm starting to wonder why disney doesn't just cancel them altogether because practically everyone on here says STAY AWAY!!!! and i was totally pumped to stay at a disney resort so i could take advantage of them! (which i am anyways, because my days are all planned out and it's too late to change!)

does anyone actually have anything good to say about EMH? i'd like some positive feedback LOL

People say avoid them because they get busy so that's why Disney haven't cancelled it because people do use them.
