I'm curious about your photos - when did you go and did you put the "embellishments" on at home or at WDW? I did not see either of these embellishments as an option
Thanks!

Add-on graphics and borders change according to the picture location and content. For instance - the Goofy signature only appears as an option for pics with Goofy in them. There are similar signatures for Mickey, Minnie, and Donald, and I think for some of the other popular characters, too.
Borders change as well; there are different choices for each park, plus general WDW borders with the year, and during the holiday season, there are plenty of holiday-themed borders and add-on graphics.
All of these options appear on the PhotoPass web site after you claim your pics. As you choose options for each pic, you will be prompted to save a copy of the pic with whatever options you choose, so that your account will have the original, unaltered pic, plus as many copies with different borders and graphics on them as you choose to make. You can also crop pic down a bit if you want to tighten up the frame on your subject.
All of this editing can make a 30-pic PhotoPass account ballon up to 100 pics or more. It's not unusual for folks to come home with 150 pics and wind up with 300-400 in their account after saving multiple copies with different graphics and cropping combinations.
When you get your PhotoPass CD, you will get all of the pics in your account - the originals, plus the copies you made. The only things not included are any of your own photos that you upload to the PhotoPass web site (for use in photo albums) or any of the stock Disney photos athat are available on the site (for use in photo albums).
The PhotoPass CD does not include any software for modifying your pics, so you should do all of those moidifications on the web site before you finalize your CD order. However, the files on the CD are standard JPG format images, directly downloaded from the Nikon digital cameras that the PhotoPass photographers use in the parks. They are 6-megapixel images, and are not copy-protected (excep that they are on a read-only CD), so you can modify them in any way you choose with your own software once you copy them off the CD onto your computer.
There is a legal release included on the CD granting you ownership of he pics, so that you can use them for any personal purpose you want. You are only prohibited from using them for commercial purposes. This release is important, because many printing places like
WalMart and Ritz refuse to print pics that "look professional" without a written release.
