Greetings Tracy,
Thank you for your recent visit to DisneyPhotoPass.com.
The pre-purchase offer is made available through the marketing department of Disney Destinations. In order to receive this prepurchase offer, the guest must meet the following guidelines:
-Have an upcoming reservation in a Walt Disney World Hotel
-Have their email address on file in the marketing database
-Have opted in to receive email from the Walt Disney World company
If you meet these requirements, you can expect to see this email about 10 days prior to your arrival. Once you have received this email, you are within a safe time frame in which to make your prepurchase without worry that your promotion code/s will expire.
If you do not receive this offer, it could be because your email address is not on file and/or permission was not granted to send marketing messages to you. Also, if you booked through a travel agent, we may not have your email address in our database. The pre-arrival offer is meant for guests who purchase before their trip.
In regards to accessing information off Stitch Kingdom or other sites, please note that these are not official Disney sites, and therefore the information listed there can not be guaranteed to be accurate. As for there being no information on our site about an expiration date on the promotion codes, it is because the Disney PhotoPass site does not offer the prepurchase offer, and we do not have any information on our site about it.
If you have lost your offer, we regret that we are not able to replace or extend this invitation as this offer is not sent out by Disney Photo Imaging.
Sincerely,
Deborah

Comments: Hello- I purchased a pre-order CD on May 25, 2009. I have an upcoming trip to Disney World on August 16-23. I have received two differnt stories regarding the purchase of the CD. I read on the Stitch Kingdom site that the cose expires in 60 days from purchase. I contacted the Photopass office and a Castmember told me that once my trip is over to contact the Photopass office and my Photopass ID will be reactiviated. I read again on the Dis Board that Photopass will not reactiviate Photopass IDs anymore. I called your office this morning and spoke with Conseula and she indicated that I needed to get a refund from Photopass and repurchase the Pre Purchase CD closer to my trip. On the Photopass site there is no mention that the code expires in 60 days, if so could you please tell where that is located on the Photopass site.
My finally question do I need to ask for a refund or do I need to call after me trip and have my Photopass ID reactivated. There are many people out there including myself that have pre purchased the CD and now we don't know what exactly to do.
I greatly appreciate any assistance you are able to provide.
Tracy

I do have an upcoming trip to Disney, I do have a confirmed reservation at the Pop Century. I receive promotions from Disney not sure if it is from Disney Destinations I assume so, I have received one or two emails from Disney.
I have received my Photopass Promotion Code, I received it on May 26,
2009 the day after I purchased my CD, but again my trip is not until August 16-23. Your email stated I would receive it 10 days prior to my trip. I have not activiated the code I just have it in a safe place.
Also you stated in the email I just received that " As for there being no information on our site about an expiration date on the promotion codes, it is because the Disney PhotoPass site does not offer the prepurchase offer, and we do not have any information on our site about it." When I purchased my CD I purchased it from
www.disneyphotopass.com/previsitcdplan.aspx
If the above is not your site who does it belong too.
I would greatly appreciate any information you are able to provide, I guess I just need to know if my purchase is valid.
Thanks, Tracy
At this point I am still unclear if I made a valid purchase or not. If I need to seek a refund now or will my purchase be honored.
