There is an FAQ on the link above.

At the moment it can only be bought once there and you can upgrade a pre-order.

Might be something we do for next Summer as we are looking at doing free dining at OKW - and we eat at most of the character locations and DD should be big enough for all but RnR so we could make good use of the digital downloads too

Last time we spent $30 on the photo at Chef Mickeys (not usually something we buy but it was really good) and $20 on the ToT photo - so we are half way there already. We had breakfast at TH plus the other attractions where we didn't bother with the photo.

Oh wow, that would be fab, all the ride photos!

I've already pre-ordered mine, do you know how to upgrade it once there, where can you upgrade it?

Ooh me 2 - can you let me know how to upgrade - Told DH i'd ordered photpass - he was made up as said last time it cost a fortune in attraction photos - didn't quite have the heart to tell him it doesn't! Oops.

Thinking we might do this. Have already pre-ordered and I think I'm right in thinking that I can get CRT and Akershus added to this free of charge?

Are most of the ride photos $20? Was going to get Chef Mickey photos (hadn't considered Hoop Dee Doo so that would be a bonus), so just trying to work out what I can get for the extra $99 to upgrade. Sounds like it might be worth it.

Here's the link - looks like you do have to upgrade when your there.

Sounds a good upgrade for $30 but not sure with the 14 day window, we have 21 days of DDP, 14 days seems poor.

Both CRT & Akershus have the photo packages included, all the other restaurants do not and they are $32 each.

To purchase just the download at the attractions costs $15.

I asked about the window on the FB page. The upgrade cost will be the difference between the new + and whatever you have already paid per their comments.

Didn't read it as that before, not so good then, certainly not worth another $100 ontop of the $100 I prepaid, especially if limited to 14 days. But we wouldn't buy ride pics, meal pics etc, anyone that does it will probably be worth doing.

 

[madmumof2]

I thought the 14 day window was a bit unfiar too, lots go for longer than 14 days.

The extra $100 would still be worth it for us, we spent far more than this on meal photos and park rides last time, just 3 photos would pass $100 so we'll definitely be upgrading.

We're still looking at a few more ADR's so this is also an incentive to book something new from the list above, knowing we'll be getting a free photo too

 

[fitnessmouse]

I don't like that you have to upgrade ON or BEFORE the day that your first pic is taken. I would like to know if i have enough dinner or ride pics taken that is worth the extra $100. My plan so far doesn't even have time or opportunity to get to a photopass viewing place before our first breakfast at Chef Mickey. :-(

And we'll be spending that day at Legoland:-(

 

[Cyrano]

Like Wayne I would have looked at this if the upgrade option was reasonable. Though as we have yet to buy any ride photos from WDW I think we may enquire when we get there.

Might not be a bad deal split 3 ways though , we do a few of the character meals park fare, tusker, chef mickeys so might be worth considering especially as it includes hoop

The only issue is they only give you one of the cards.

As to where it can be purchased it is the viewing centres in the 4 main parks plus the one at DTD. You might also be able to it at select resorts that have a photopass desk - I have seen them at BC & GF.

EDIT: resort locations with limited hours: GF, Poly, BC & AKL
