I pre-ordered mine today, and can confirm it is definitely free p&p! You've saved me a mini fortune (enough for a good few extra dole whips!!!)

Hi there can you please tell me how the photopass cd works? how do you print them off? sorry dont mean to seem dumb but these pictures are really important to us and we buy quite a lot when we there, just want to know how this works.

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

I'm really confused . . . I ordered the pre-pay photopass the other night from the link above. Before ordering i emailed the photopass website to check that it included international delivery, then you answered that question on here so I ordered.

The photopass people have just emailed to say that there is no such offer, and that even if there was it would not have been available to everyone, and would only be emailed out to select guests!!! I'm now having a panic attack thta I have given my card details to a company that don't exist!!!

Am I understanding the Photopass correctly. You just find your first photographer, they take your pic and give you a card. You then give this card to any photographer you see and they take you pic and card details. You don't need to buy anything! When you get home you enter the code on the Photopass website and you can download your pics for 30 days.
Have I got all this right.

I don't remember paying extra for shipping on the Pre Order......the CD arrived really quick......within a week I believe from ordering online......

Yes!! Apart from you don't download them, you can view thm for 30 days, with the option to buy the CD with them all on. I think . . .!

We ended up with a few cos we went with another family.....unfortunately they kept one and downloaded it online to view they didn't realise once you register a number you cannot add it on to another account.

I have already pre-ordered my photo pass! I cannot wait! Woo Hoo!

Our first trip is going to be awesome!

 

[Twinkly-Tink]

Has anyone from the UK done the pre-order with the CD & Photobook??

Thinking of doing this and just wondered what people's opinions were of the actual photobook? Is it worth the extra $50?

appreciate any opinions anyone has!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

I just clicked the link on the previous page and the offer is still there (order now and save 20%) - does anyone know if that is still being honoured, or if the link is out of date now?

 

[wickesy]

The pre-order link is still valid. I've got my code.

We bought the pre-purchase CD for our trip in September/October last year and had about 250 photo's taken whilst there, we tried to catch as many photographers as we could because we don't have any photo's of the 4 of us due to DH usually being behind the camera.

When we got home I viewed all the photos on line and added borders etc to them, by the time we ordered the CD there was 1500 photos on it as i'd basically added a different border to every photo and yes it took the whole 30 days to do it

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!!!

Find the first photographer and have your picture taken, take the card he gives you and use this for the whole duration (take a photo of the number on it just in case you lose it), it doesn't matter how many cards you get because you can get them all put on to the one card later on.

Also, if you want to have the photos with tink, stitch and simba just ask because we found that they didn't do this willingly even though we have kids so were disappointed that we didn't have more like this.

I will definitely be doing this pre-pay CD next time because it has saved us a fortune and was great having all 4 of us in a photo together.

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

We are in the process of building our albumm from our trip in Feb.
We made use of the photopass photographers at most of the landmarks around Disney, and also tried to get day and night photos so there was some contrast, and that turned out quite well.
Once you have made the decision to buy the cd/album it really takes a lot of the pressure of trying to get a good photo with the point and shoot - just leave it to the professionals
When we return in October we will probably team up with Grandma and Sis, and just add the different card numbers to the one account.
For info the all the pics in my Sig were taken by photopass photographers. The one of my DD was originally a pic of her looking up at Pluto as he signed her autograph book. I then cropped it on the photopass website and added the Tink border. You can also change them to black and white, for extra effect.

We have ordered the photopass last year, shipping was free.

I am doing a photopass share for August.

You can also get your photo from the Test Track at Epcot on the CD as well.

 

[Tiggerbounce24]

The offer page states that shipping is not included as additional pages on the photobook are also not included.

 

[Shooby doo]

They may have changed the shipping charges but it definately was included on ours last year with the pre-order code.For the poster that asked about downloading: Unless you buy the CD (before or after) you will have to pay for every pic,it would only take about 6 before the CD pays for itself & once bought you can print pics to your hearts content!
We had nearly 300 pics & that nearly doubled with add-ons-my only minor gripe is that the borders can be a bit repetitive after a while!

Don't worry about this, I emailed some time ago to try and check if there was expiry date for the pre-order code, and they said pretty much the same to me, they didn't seem to know such an offer existed!
I don't know why they don't know about this, but maybe it's better that they don't or they'll try and take the offer away
I can confirm, as can many others on here that the code works, and that your shipping does end up getting discounted so you effectively get free delivery with the CD, I've never ordered a photobook, so I don't know whether they might add on a shipping fee for this with it being a larger item....

appreciate any opinions anyone has!

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

Since I had pre-ordered the photopass cd at the end of 2007 these comments had me slightly bothered

I emailed WDW and received a reply; which I will retain, that said that my code should still be valid.

Glad that you got yours sorted out in the end, but hope that it was a one off instance
