Photo Pass still in AAA package?

[DisneyFanatik]

Unfortunately my AAA agent is not very Disney savvy. He mentioned that I would be getting the Diamond parking pass and something about luggage tags, but he never mentioned anything about Photo Pass. I am going to call him tomorrow to ask about it, but I just wanted to know if everyone else is getting it in their packages. If so, what exactly is it that you get? One free picture? Thanks!

We're using AAA for our package and the only benefits my TA mentioned were the storytelling and AAA Diamond card (guidebook, and luggage tags too).

The website doesn't say anything about a photopass either. Is that a premier plan??

I booked through AAA and got all the mentioned above plus photopass and a meal voucher for Planet Hollywood and story time with belle. Could someone fill me in on what the AAA photopass gets me. Im assuming its a free picture from the collection taken per person but I can't really tell. From what I understand photopass is offered to everyone but costs money to get the actual photos? I wasn't expecting any of this 'free' stuff at all, then again it is my honeymoon so our agent may have added a few extras w/o a fee.

I booked room and park tickets only through AAA last December. A free photopass was part of the deal. We had two different reservations (2 room reservations) so each reservation had one photopass voucher. Unfortunately, I didn't quite understand the process and didn't get the photopass voucher. I didn't inform the front desk at check-in that I had photopass as part of the AAA package. They would have given me a voucher which could be redeemed in the park at the photopass store locations in the park (you can view your pictures at these "store" locations). Anyway, when we returned, I called the AAA travel rep I have always used to ask if there was any way I could still get the "free" pictures she apoligized for not explaining it when I picked up the packets and said she would look into it. I had all but forgotten that I had even mentioned it to her when she called and said that her district manager felt badly about the situation and gave me two $25 Disney gift certificates for the mix up. I wasn't expecting anything in response to my inquiry, but was grateful and impressed that she followed up and went out of her way to rectify the situation. So, if you do have the photopass option as part of your package, be sure you find out how to redeem it BEFORE you leave or have the pictures taken and return home.

A) It's a plastic card with a bar code on it
B) Every family gets one when they have the pictures taken by one of the Disney photographers...it does not come as part of anyone's (AAA or anybody else's) vacation package. If they tell you it does, they're WRONG.
C) When you have your picture taken the first time, you get the card then you give it to the photographer to scan each time you have another picture taken regardless of what Disney park throughout your whole trip!
D) You can either look at all your pictures and pick the ones you want at most of the photo locations throughout Disney or...wait until you get home and pick and order the ones you want via the internet (which is great because then they don't get bent in your suitcase on the way home).
E) Since they're on the web, you can also give your card code to people at home to look at while you're gone (grandma just loves that).

Does this help everyone?

AAA makes it sound like you are really getting a special deal when in reality you are getting 1 free 5x7. This is no different than the free picture people are getting through their Disney Visa.

Photo Pass is available to all Disney guests not just through AAA packages.
