Photo Pass Advise

[Dizneemad]

I have pre-ordered the last couple of years with no problems. I have had to pay postage but I believe it is included with the pre-purchase the reason I paid postage was because I ordered extra copies of the CD's ($10 per set) for the other parties rather than copying them.
Also the photobook is more expensive than what you can get in the UK but your pages are Disney themed and the book binding is embossed with your title and Castle on , so in my opion worth the extra for the added quality you get.

I haven't done it so can't comment but I have ordered photo books from Photobox and from Blurb.com (via their UK site) and they are really good quality so I would save the $50 and just get the CD - there are tonnes of options for photo books and with the rubbish exchange rate $50 is a lot to add in my opinion when you could get the CD and get a photobook done at your leisure here. Blurb.com downloads a programme called booksmart to your PC and the options are ENDLESS - different sizing, cover styles and types etc... so I would go with them.

Hope this helps

..... Also like the idea of the pages and binding being Disney themed.....Ooohhh decisions decisions.

I have just pre-ordered both the CD and Book. In the past we have had just the CD but this time I went for the book as it is Chloe's first trip and I think that it will be a really nice momento.

It is expensive but I like to look at it that I am buying the CD and getting the book 'free' as if I was to order the CD afterwards it would cost me $125 plus about $20 shipping! Well thats how I sold it to DH!!!

I'll be pre-ordering the CD and photobook too! Same logic as the pp lol but also because it looks amazing. Sure, you can get cheap photobooks anywhere, but none pure Disney like this one. It looks fantastic.

Are you meant to preorder - within 90 days, or can I pre order now?

Be warned though, I had a monumental problem with ordering the cd (the code was never accepted) because apparantly the code you get is only good for 3 months from purchase, I purchased mine a year before we were going

This 3 month expiry though is not indicated on the website and was never confirmed by the staff members I had to deal with to try and get all 1500 photos back, which took 2 months by the way but they are here now and they are great and now I just have to save some money up to go and get them all printed off for the albums!!!

Next time I will do it within the 3 months!!

Hi everyone! Now going to order this for my visit next month. I just wanted to check that we do definitely get three months to redeem the code? As you say there is no date given on the website and I would hate to lose all my piccies!

I emailed WDW and was told that our code would still be valid

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Great thanks

 

[orangetiggs]

i got my code about 6 months before we went and had no problems with it

Pre ordered mine more than 3 months in advance as well - no problems with redeeming

Hi everyone!

The website states that shipping is not included in the price- could anyone tell me how much it costs please? Thanks!

Hi. I've just ordered the photopass CD and photobook for $149. It didn't say anything about a cut off, so will probably email in a few months to make sure my codes will still work.

At the bottom of my bill it said the shipping to the UK was $0.

How mysterious! I'm not complaining though, haha. Thanks!

They don't charge you for shipping the 'codes' but they now charge for shipping the CD when you order it - $17

They never used to charge shipping on preorders so was a bit shocked when it came up and had to go check.

Boooo Never mind, $17 isn't too much. Thanks for the info!

i didnt pay for shipping hwne i got mine last september just paid the 99 that i paid when preordered it

I understand from a thread on one of the other Disboards that this changed around Feb time - any that were ordered before the 'cut-off date' will be honoured with the free P&P, after the date and you have to pay now! there's also a charge for additional pages in the photobook ($1.75 pp rings a bell but could be wrong!)

Yeah they had seemingly been allowing you to add as many pages as you wanted at no extra cost which they now stopped. Plus with the removal of the discount for the resort photo sesisons and changes they've made on that, Disney is doing it's best to have me decide not to spend any money on combining offers......
