Can someone please let me know how the photopass works at DLR.. is it the same as DW? are there photo pass people at all the characters. MY DH was thinking it was not as great since it is half the price...

It works exactly the same. It's less (in my opinion) because there is DL and DCA whereas at WDW there is MK, AK, DHS, EPCOT, and the water parks.

I have found that there may not be a photopass person at each character greeting. Certainly there will be at the character meals and at Tinks greeting and the Princess Faire greeting but possibly not out at the front entrance and such.
 

I've pretty much found PP photogs at most main locations. But yes, they aren't with all the characters. It's hit and miss with them. The only "Magical" shot DLR doesn't have that WDW has is Simba. It's a great deal-DLR has some great PP photogs!

Tell your DH that it is totally worth it. :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

Here's a few of the magical ones:

There's also Stitch eating an ice cream cone-I have that one on the CD I haven't ordered yet.

You'll almost always find a PP photog in Mickey's Movie Barn in ToonTown. Also lately I've seen them in the Sunshine Plaza at DCA. I have almost always found them at the entrances to both parks as well as Towne Square, the hub and in front of the castle. They are also out at night in Towne Square, the front, the castle, etc.

In my Trip Report thread (2 reports from 2008 in one thread), I have a bunch of PhotoPass pictures posted also, from last October (including Trick or Treat party pictures) and from this past December: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1979268

Many of the shots have the same effects that Dizneydaz has shown you (some slightly different ones), but a few different poses and expressions, borders and some different backdrops in some cases. Everyone's photos look kind of different even with the same effects and poses, depending on how good the photographer was and the time of day, the lighting, etc.

If you look at my signature below, the tiny Pumpkin and Candy Corn pictures are PhotoPass.

And, of course, there is always the "Photopass Poses - the Cheesier the Better" thread, which I think you already saw, if I am not mistaken!! http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1954446
 
I thought it was pretty good. IN 4 park days we took 40 pictures and that was with no character greeting areas. At WDW we would normally take about 100 pics but would have 7/8 days and did a number of charac greetings. Most of the characters just hanging out did not have photopass at DL but anywhere where you waited in line like for Mickey, Princesses, or Fairies there were. There were lots more photopass people at little landmark areas or out and about doing the special effect pics too. In terms of quality the pics were not as good as WDW in terms of brightness at night and framing people with the landmarks. It depends on when you are going as well. Right now there is a good amount of construction in DL and the water is drained in DCA so some of our pics had contruction walls or other "bad"views. We ended up doing a photoshare and had a few good pics out of the 40 but it wouldn't have been enough for me to want to buy the cd at full price.
