Q. My family may split up and go on two different Attractions however only one Disney PhotoPass+ card is provided, what can I do?
R. If your family splits up and goes on different Attractions you may save your Ride Stub with the photo # and later on stop by the Attraction to claim the photo with your Disney PhotoPass+ card. Keep in mind that photos are available in our system for only 48 hours after capture; make sure you visit the Attraction to claim your photo within that time period.

Q. What if I go on an Attraction multiple times, will I receive an image each time I ride or is there a limit?
R. You can collect as many Attraction photos as you like. If you ride Space Mountain 10 times then you will show your Disney PhotoPass+ card at the Attraction’s photo center and they will scan the image each time you ride – you would then have a total of 10 Space Mountain images!

Thank you for all the information. I may have to reconsider photopass for this trip. We have done it for our past two trips and loved it but this trip is shorter so I am not sure if we will get enough prints. We are also going to Disney in January and that trip is longer maybe I should just wait until then to do photopass.

Does anyone know if they still have photo packages to purchase at the attracations and dining venues or are all photos now put a card for purchase through Photo Pass? Still deciding on going for photo pass + for our Sept trip or holding off until Jan trip.

I think but I am not sure, that you can still buy the printed copies of your pictures at the attractions and dining venues if you want, but with Photopass Plus they picture will be on the Cd, so once you get the CD you can print it at home or via Walmart for just a few dollars vs $15.00

Shock and horror this morning in my inbox! Delta cancelled another flight. 3 MONTHS OUT! I went with them because of the early arrival and late departure. They lopped off 4 hours of my precious Disney time. (How dare they?!) No later flights available. Now I have cancelled my flights for full refund which will take 7-10 days.

The good news....I found better flights for $30 less a person!!!

Can you add me to the list, please?

We are Poly bound in 94 days! Sept. 22 can't get here quick enough. After getting free dining, we splurged and upgraded to CL. I'm so excited to experience Poly CL since I've done WL CL and GF CL.

This is our daughters first trip. She turns 2 in August. I'm hoping Mickey and friends don't completely freak her out.

I tweaked our dining reservations again today, but I honestly think I am done this time. I hope I'm not overdoing it with a 2 year old!
