No more prebuying Photopass????

[SharpMomOfTwo]

I really want to do it, but DH isn't on board with the idea.... I may just have to front the $99 myself! ARG!

You don't lose it, but it sure is a hassle to get the code reactivated.
If you don't like the photos or choose not to purchase the CD after all you can get a refund--after your trip. Just be sure not to use the code at all. They will not refund your money if the code has been entered.

Actually you do lose the pics. If you don't order your CD before time runs out the pictures are deleted.

I was able to have both WDW and DLR pix on my recent PP CD. I ended up with over 2000 pix after edits (just under 700 before edits) I did pre-order my CD for $99.95 but will be requesting a refund since the CD only cost $59.95 because the last pix entered where from DLR and the price you pay is based on last card # entered.

I'm not sure about the 60 days to use the pre-paid code-my receipt doesn't show that AND it says I have 202 weeks to request a refund. Maybe the 60 days is new, I prepaid in Sept.

Hope you can talk your DD into it. I love PP as it's the only way I'm in the photos too since I am the official family photog. If you don't buy the CD do have the PP photogs take your pix with your own camera. They will usually gladly do this. I especially noticed this a DLR. Only difference is you can't have the added embelishments or "magical" add ons.

You can also upload your own photos at the Photo Pass website and edit/add borders.

That's true however you can't put your own pix on the CD-you can buy the photos and other products, but not the CD. I know, I tried to do this with a few pix I took at BB.

On the website if you scroll to the bottom it says you can only request a refund within 2 weeks after completing your vacation. So you might want to check into that. http://www.disneyphotopass.com/previsitcdplan.aspx
So if you want a refund do it before your 2 weeks after your vacation is up.

True...you can't put them on your CD.

Thanks for the info but the email I received with my promotion code says

To receive a refund, you must request it within202 weeks after the completion of your Disney vacation and you must not use the special promotion code to order Disney's PhotoCD. If the promotion code has been used, a refund will not be granted.

I think your email was a typo....you better call. 202 weeks makes no sense and the emails I've gotten have always said two weeks! Sorry

Haha yeah I would have to agree...202 weeks would be almost 4 years.

I pre-paid for the CD right before we went to WDW the week of Thanksgiving. There were ample photopass photographers in all the parks. We had alot of fun with it. We came home with 227 photos and I'm up to 330 now that I've added borders and signatures. I wrote Photopass CD on the card so sometimes they would see it and I sometimes I would tell them I had the CD when I handed them the card. They often took a bunch of photos. We have pictures that they added characters like fighting with Captain Hook, DD20 is holding baby Simba, Tinkerbelle is in my hands and Stitch is coming out of the ground. What I like the most was that I was in the pictures and have proof that I was there. You know I'm the one usually taking the pictures and don't appear to have been on that vacation. For my family it was well worth it.

LOVE photopass, a bit disappointed with the lack of photographers around the park this past week while there. They were there in the "hot" spots..Main Street, in front of Epcot, the hat in MGM, just not a lot around the park. Hoping we got a lot of great shots, just got home last night and haven't logged in, can't wait to check them out!!

We are doing a ton of cahracter meals on our next trip to WDW. Are the photopass photographers at all the character meals (CRT, Chef Mickey. Crystal Garden, Norway pavillion, garden grill, donalds breakfast safari)?

We just got back last Saturday and we did 4 chracter meals and there weren't ANY photopass people at any of the meals.

WHen we were there in Jan., CHef Mickey does not have photopass phtographers at the restaurant at all. ( I asked) I don't know about the other places. Have fun though! Deb

We were just there last week and didn't see any Photopass photographers at Character meals. They were very sparce in the parks (imo) and only saw them at the character tents and that sort. Still got TONS of pics though!

You can have the family picture taken at the dinner added to the photo pass - but only if you buy the package then. you can give them your card and they will add it to the photopass. we did this at Chef Micky, Hoop De Do Review and the Spirit of Aloha. Not to sure if we would do this next time, as it got a little expensive. We spilt the CD with our friends to save a few dollars. By the way Hoop De Do Review was great - my friend was the little Angel at the end, what a great time and what a picture. He looks great all 'dressed' up. Spirit of Aloha not so good.

They don't have photopass at any of those restaurants. As someone mentioned, they do take your photo at CRT and Akershus. It's included with the meal. There is a code on the side of the picture. When you are adding your photopass card numbers to your acct when you get home, add that code number and it will add those pics to your CD. At CMs and Donald's they take your pic but you have to pay for it. It's about $30. If you do pay for it, you can do the same thing with the code. Crystal Palace and Garden Grill don't have photopass photographers. Most restaurants don't.

Someone gave you bad info. They do have a photographer. They take your picture in front of a big plate. However they don't take your pic for FREE as most photopass photographers do. You have to pay for a picture before they'll add it to your photopass card. It's expensive. We don't typically buy them because of that.
