New *PhotoPass* at WDW

[CRSNDSNY]

Below is an article I just received in our November DVC Member newsletter pertaining to the photographs taken by CMs in the Parks:

Disney's PhotoPass program debuts this month
This month marks the debut of the first phase of Disney's PhotoPass
program, an innovation that gives Guests a new way to capture, view and
share photos taken by in-park photographers at the Walt Disney World
Resort.

Here's how it works.

The next time you visit a Walt Disney World Theme Park, look for an
in-park photographer who can help you capture a vacation memory by
taking professional photos of your entire traveling party. (No more
thumbs over lenses or people missing from your photo album!)

Instead of giving you a claim ticket for that individual photo, the
photographer will give you a Disney's PhotoPass which you can present to
other in-park photographers whenever you pose for additional
professional photos in any of the four Walt Disney World Theme Parks.
(No more keeping track of multiple claim tickets!)

When you return home from your vacation, your Disney's PhotoPass will
let you access your photos through a free online account, purchase your
favorites, and even share photos with family and friends. (No more
spending your vacation time waiting in line to see and purchase
individual photos!)

Future phases of Disney's PhotoPass program will put additional
photography innovations at your fingertips, including a Disney
PhotoMovie DVD product that will let you turn your vacation photos into
a professional-grade movie.

If you want to learn more about Disney's PhotoPass program before your
next Walt Disney World vacation, visit disneyworld.com/photopass. (The
Web site is scheduled to debut later this month.

This was in place the week of Oct 23rd to Oct 28th during our trip. It was good if you remembered to use the same card, I wound up with two cards but the concept is great. When it came time to view the pictures, all the pictures on the one card were available to view.

Great info...THANKS!

It was in use when we were there Oct. 3rd through the 10th. It seemed to work well.

 

[CRSNDSNY]

I can't wait to try this in January. The concept makes me think I'd be more inclined to have these photos taken.

 

[Horizons16]

now THAT is a good idea!

 

[POOH&PIGLET]

This sounds great! Hopefully there will be group discounts.

 

[crcormier]

NICE! I would definitely be much more likely to buy pics now.

 

[Luvmyfam3]

Cool concept!! I agree that I would be much more inclined to have them taken this way! No more lines!! Woohoo!!!

I LIKE that!! Now, I can buy the "best" photo or two of the bunch!

 

[kupperman]

Sounds cool! I can't wait to try it.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Very cool idea.

 

[sncbird]

This is an awesome idea!! We'll be at WDW starting Thursday!! Can't wait!!

I wonder if there is a way that they could put those attraction photos in the same spot. I'm assuming that those Splash Mt. photos aren't included in this new program.

we used this last week, and it was a lot better than holding onto all those little pieces of paper. plus it seemed a lot easier for them to actually pull up the photos.

Love this idea, especially having access to pix when you return home. Sometimes we'd have the picture taken but forget to retrieve it at the end of the day. Sometimes we'd decide we wanted a photo taken 3 days prior after all, only to discover that we could no longer access it! Awesome idea!

 

[doc hog]

That sounds GREAT!!!

 

[TraceyL]

Great idea Any idea if they ship overseas ??

 

[Michelina]

Will you still be able to look at your pics somewhere in the park?

 

[FatCow]

Maybe I'm blind, or plainly too tired. How much do they charge for each picture being taken? (or do they have a price list online somewhere?)
