Photo pass...

[bridetobe789]

So now that I have procrastinated all day and finally finished like three 10 page papers for school...

Can someone explain the photo pass to me? I know I have heard about pre purchasing it but I'm not 100% sure what it is or why you would pre purchase it... Wow you think I would know this by now..

I just know if you pre-purchase it, you get a discount over if you purchase it after your trip.

From what I gather (I've never done this before), the first time you see a Disney Photographer, they give you a card that they stick in their cameras to store your particular photos to correspond with the number on the card....then whenever you see a photographer, you give him the card to put into his camera. The most important thing from what I understand, is to write your card number down, because if you lose the card with the number on it, you lose all the photos.

Can attraction photos be put on the photo pass card too? That would be great.

Yes, if you pre-purchase its cheaper, that's the only difference. I didn't know about the CD before our trip last year, we had several photo pass photos taken at various parks, but not enough to justify the cost of the CD, so I just bought two 5 x 7 prints after the fact. What I learned later that is key info is that you can have a zillion photos on the CD and its still the same price! So, now that I know that it makes the CD much more appealing and I am willing to spend $100 on pre-ordering the CD and we will make sure to hit up every photopass photographer we see! Some even took more than one shot of us, like a close up or different pose, or something, so I won't be shy to ask for those. I think photopass is great. My DF and I travelled just the two of us, and that will be the case for our honeymoon next year, and its nice to have pics of the two of us together without always annoying an innocent passerby to take a photo of us (though most people don't mind!) And the photopass people are at key spots, so you can get that nice shot with the castle in the background, etc.

Also, the card they use looks like your resort room key, a plastic thing they just scan quickly and it registers your number. We had more than one card and you can combine them to create one CD.

This is a really informative site on everything photopass.

And this is straight from the official photopass website: (www.disneyphotopass.com)

Q. I heard the PhotoCD is a good deal. Is there a limit to the number of photos you can have on a PhotoCD?
A. No. Get as many photos taken as you want and you can have them all on a CD! The price is the same regardless of the number of photos in your account. Note that Disney's Gallery photos and any uploaded photos will not be included on your PhotoCD.

Q. Are the ride photos included on Disney's PhotoPass system?
A. With the exception of Test Track at Epcot®, no. On Test Track you can add your photo to your Disney's PhotoPass card as you exit the attraction.

Hope this helps!!!

If you get the photopass session at the resort does it cost anything if you have the cd?!

Thanks for the response.. Larisa .. where did you order yours?!

 

[nickandlarisa]

I actually haven't pre-ordered yet, but you can get it off the official photo pass site, (www.disneyphotopass.com). I think that's the only place you can get it actually.

Yes if you have preordered the cd you have to pay a sitting fee. It was $25 dollors sitting fee but it has now gone up I think to $50 but it may be more. We got about 80 really good photos.

Only Test Track as far as I know!

I just got back and put in the order for ours. I suggest preordering to everyone.... It became an important part of our trip to find photographers and get some magical moments together on camera.

They also have photopass by some of the characters. This trip was our engagement trip, and the photopass photographer captured Stitch performing an alien wedding ceremony, because I had my ears on and we had buttons.... Lilo was flower girl!

So worth the money!
