Photo Pass Special Offer Email

[disneyfan2]

I got mine through Disney Destinations email on the 35 day mark. I am also curious if when anyone gets the photopass card with their documents if that has the pre purchase price on it as well?

so there is still hope for me , in addition to photopass, what is in the email "disney must see" anything exciting

I just got my Disney Doc's and there's a special photo pass card in here with our name already on it.

It says to register the card now. So I did, and it really did nothing.

In small print it says: Be on the look out for big savings! We'll send you special offers via email during and after you vacation.




Seems like a real run around. When we were there in June, it was hard to find the photo pass people outside of Star Wars Weekend.

PhotoPass Photographers are also no longer at the waterparks.

They had really nice waterproof covers on their cameras when they were there and you'd float past them on the river.

Pixie Dust coming your way so your email can arrive too!
The email is about your upcoming visit and what may things may be of interest to you during your visit i.e Osbourne Lights, MVMCP, CP etc.

Hope you get it real soon!
Have a great trip!!

when did the photographers stop beeing at the waterparks? They were there in September when we went. When we went last march they were not??

We got ours about 45 days before our trip in December. I had already purchased the Photo CD for $99 about a month ago, before they shut down the site. But I went back to look at the email again last night and also discovered that you can pre-order a customized photopass card. You can add your own photo to it or use one of Disney's "stock" photos. The cost was $4.95 and it takes about 2 weeks to come in the mail. I went ahead and ordered it, even though I know they are free in the park...I thought that if it had my kids photo on it, I would be less likley to misplace it while on vacation and it would make a cute keepsake from our trip.
Oh...the email subject line was "Disney's Must Sees" it said nothing about photopass in the subject line. I hope that helps and I hope those that are waiting for their e-mail gets it soon.

Can I ask, what site got shut down?

 

[disneyfan2]

not the site, but just the link to the preorder of the photopass was discontinued

 

[carrie6466]

Just wanted to let you all know that I didn't get my email for the photopass discount until about the 30-day mark.

 

[disneyfan2]

still waiting and i am at 27 days, no email for me

 

[disneyfan2]

yay, i finally received the email from DD and was able to pre-order. Does anyone know if they charge shipping now, or after you order the CD?

 

[DizzyStitch]

I ordered mine a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised to only have to pay 2.00 shipping. I only had two disks this time so maybe it depends on how many disks they have to mail.

 

[mfortis]

I kinda confused, what special are you guys talking about?

I went to the photopass site and saw the CD for $59.95. There was even a 15% or $15 discount the other day, its not available anymore.

Could it be at this low price because I only have two photos (4 if you count the framing of the 2)?

Could it be this low because these are Disneyland photos?

One other note/question. The 4 photos are about to expire. I have another trip (WDW this time) planned shortly after the expiration date. Does anyone know if and how the time frame for purchasing can be extended? If I am going to spend 60 plus bucks I would want to have more than 2 photos to buy.

Here is the link, but you have to be registered.

I hit my 10 day and still no email. I called the number and they are sending me a code for $50 off. You can find the # on the photopass website

I am at 14 days and still no email. I also received the photopass thingy in my documents and registered it and it did nothing - but I also don't have any pictures on there to put on a CD yet - so maybe that has something to do with it?
I plan on calling at the 10 day mark to see if I can get the $50 savings. I am going with a large group this year and plan on utilizing photopass a lot - especially at the xmas party!

 

[zhazhazsu]

I just got mine this morning. I booked through Southwest Vacations.

 

[Dramamama]

I had to call them again. They gave me a code for $50 off. If you don't get the code at day 9 call photopass. They will give you a code.

 

[coruth4]

I am jsut at 10 days and called and they gave me the code for $50 off. I am so excited! We are doing MVMCP this year and I am looking forward to some great pictures!

Well we have an interesting problem. We booked through Southwest vacations but my parents booked through Disney. I told my mom to look out for the email and sure enough one came, however the links don't go anywhere. You click on them and nothing. We tried in different browsers, email programs, etc. So I did a view page source to see the html code, what little I learned in college, and in place of where the links should be it says nofollow! That goes for all the links in the email, none of the links do anything, here's the cut/paste...

So my questions are... does someone have a link in their email we can try? I mean I assume it will want her to log in or something and she does have a WDW trip booked. Secondly, what number should she call to fix this? Thanks!!

I don't normally read this forum, but as author of the Definitive Guide to PhotoPass, I figured I'd step in and address a few things, but because this thread goes back aways, I'll only handle the last page:

I ordered mine a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised to only have to pay 2.00 shipping. I only had two disks this time so maybe it depends on how many disks they have to mail.

Shipping for PhotoCD at this time is $2 regardless of the number of CDs. Previously it was $7. The shipping fees for all products is listed in the Help section of the website.

I went to the photopass site and saw the CD for $59.95. There was even a 15% or $15 discount the other day, its not available anymore.

Yes, Disneyland PhotoCDs are $59.95 because they have just 2 parks that have PhotoPass as opposed to WDW which has up to 6. Once you add WDW photos, the price will go up accordingly.

Extensions can be purchased in 7 and 15 day blocks. You'll find extensions listed in the products list.

I am at 14 days and still no email. I also received the photopass thingy in my documents and registered it and it did nothing - but I also don't have any pictures on there to put on a CD yet - so maybe that has something to do with it?

The card included with travel documents is to ensure they have your email on file and that you consent to receiving additional offers via email. This will most certainly not get you $50 off the PhotoCD (although it may get you some) and no offers are guaranteed at all. Offers may come before, during or after your vacation.

The fact that you have no photos has nothing to do with it. 99.99% of those who receive the offer won't have photos in their account when they get it.

nofollow is actually an attribute that tells search engines to not follow that link in particular for ranking purposes (mostly Google). although it doesn't make much sense to have it in an email, it's undoubtedly there to make sure that if someone does post the content of the email somewhere, that Google won't index the discount page.

In any case, it doesn't affect your email or browser from clicking the link. Many email clients disable links automatically from unknown or senders not marked as safe by default for security reasons. Although if that is literally your email, the real problem is that the href portion which tells the browser where to go is missing, so you don't have a functioning link, nofollow or not.

What number did you call to ask for the discount? Thanks!
