PhotoPass+. Is it worth it?

[1002jennisue]

Oh good! Thank you!

Okay! I did it. Crossing my fingers... I'm in Texas. Your story gave me hope. Wish me luck!

IF you don't get it... don't fret. Other people may be able to confirm, but I think I remember seeing on here that people have successfully gotten a PP+ card with a printout of the confirmation email and an explanation once at the park.

So what about, I buy it now scared of the price increasing, but we won't be going til 2017!? Do you think I would be able to purchase it this far out and still be in the clear?

Here is the Photopass contact number:407-560-4300. Our live phone hours are Monday-Saturday 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. eastern time. I would call and make sure you can buy it that early. The only reason I can see not to is if they changed the pHotopass program between now and 2017, but I would still call first. HTH!

Question: If I order this, can I take the photopass+ card off the lanyard? I already wear a lanyard with my pins and a pouch for our tickets, FPs, etc. Can I just attach it to that lanyard?

I am not sure. I have received my Photopass, but I do not travel until July 12th. Maybe someone else knows?

thanks!

Taking it off shouldn't be a problem. As long as you can give it to the photographer to scan, you should be good.

Do we have a list of where the photopass people are ? I would love a nice concrete list so we can know where we can get these awesome photos.

I just need that awesome picture in front of the Aurora Castle - with little to no one there I might have to do a breakfast...

How long are the cards good for? we are going to DL July 17 to the 20 and again Aug. 8th and 9th. so the first and last days are 24 days apart. Will the card be good that long?

The actual photopass+ benefits are only good 14 days from when you get the card. But you can collect other regular photopass photos on your 2nd trip and add them to your account before you order the free photo CD so they will also be included, as long as it is within 30 days of the first day you claim your photopass+ number on disneyphotopass.com. They give you a voucher code to claim the CD which doesn't have an expiration, but your photopass pictures do. You just won't be able to get character dining or ride photos free on your 2nd trip if you do it that way.

Anybody ever purchased it with LESS THAN 14 days to go before vacation? We leave next Thursday (and I'm a gambler by nature) so I'm thinking of risking it and ordering today, hoping it'll arrive before we leave. This is a last-minute trip anyway and this 14 day detail slipped away from me.

Do it ASAP if you're going to. Where are you in the country? We ordered ours Sunday 6/7, Got a shipping notification Monday 6/8, and received in Oklahoma City sometime between this past Thursday 6/11 and Saturday 6/13. Just can't remember exactly what day.

UPDATE: I ordered on Monday, 6/15 about noon CST. Received notification of shipment on Tuesday at 7am, and the voucher/CD arrived in my mailbox in Texas on Friday. Yay!! So excited I was able to get it in time. We leave tomorrow.

is there a way to pay for the photopass+ with gift cards?

Just used this on a trip to Disney World. We did make a conscientous effort to stop for as many Photo Pass photographers as possible. Always give them your camera too. We had one pic not come through, but luckily I had it in my phone. Character photos from character dining were not included in Disney World. I have spent a lot of time customizing and downloading photos, but we will have incredible photograph memories.

This may have been answered but I haven't read everything. We have a group of 10, will we be able to share the photospass? We want a bunch of group pics as well as other ones when we break up for the day?
Thanks

 

[are you ready]

We loved having it on our trip, we didn't go out of our way to find all the photographers but between the character meal we did, and all the characters we met not to mention wanting to a have the pic from the first time my daughter did a "big kid" ride (RSR) it definitely paid for itself

We purchased PhotoPass+ for our 1-day trip to DL in early June of this year. I just ordered the photo CD a week ago and am awaiting its delivery. If I had to pay for all of the photos out of pocket, it would have cost me over $900! So the $69.00 for just a one day visit was totally worth it. We got a couple of magic shots in it, too, all of the princess meet & greets at Fantasy Faire. It was great!

You must have the actual photopass plus card to load the ride photos on it or get the character dining photos. However, when you split up, have the others get the photo numbers for each of the rides and you can go back to them at the end of the night and load them all on the card. Additionally, when your party splits up, they can have any of the photopass photographers put their photos on regular photopass cards, and give them to you at the end of the trip, and you can add them all to your photopass plus either at the parks, or more easily, in your photopass online account before you order the CD.
