We just returned from WDW on 8/24. We preordered the photopass+. We ended up with over 400 pics on the + card(bf i edit them) We had dinner at Chef Mickeys. We presented the PP photographer our +card and then had dinner. During the dinner when they come around with the picture, the cast member started to explain the cost of the pics. I pulled out the +card and she quickly gave us the pics.
BTW-- we arrived shortly bf our ADR at chef mickey's. We took the bus from SSR to MK. DH headed to Chef mickey (we were running 40 mins late). I ran into the MK and turned in our voucher for the +card. Then ran over to Chef Mickey. DH was explaining to the Cast member at the check in desk what I was doing. She said they just started carrying a supply of the +card at the desk of chef mickey. Not sure if this is something they will continue or not.
We had over 20 ride photos added too. Just showed them the card and they put the pics on. For rides that we were riding multiple times we waited till the end of riding and turned in all the ride numbers. At Rockin' roller coaster the cast member edited our pic to eliminate another rider. both the reg pic and the edited pic was on the + card. I asked at Tower of Terror if they could also edit it and they were adament that it would not save it. They said to edit it at home. We didn't know till we uploaded everything that the edited pic was also saved as the reg pic. There is no way of editing the pic at home to get just the people you want but still keep the logo on the picture. When we purchased the pic last year the edited it and had just us plus the ride logo on the pic.
one thing we learned was if a ride pic does not come our right PP will give you a slip so you can reride the ride again (treated like a FP). I took DS5 on Splash mountain for the first time for all of us. We were seated in the 2nd row and his face was hidden by the rider in the front row. (missed that first expression
) When we were ready to board for our 2nd ride. I mentioned it to the cast member and she said to always seat in the 1st row and told me about getting the reride ticket from PP. For the next 2 rides I requested the front row and had no problem getting it. We may have had to wait a few extra minutes to load but it worked out great.
We did tons of character meet and greets. There always seemed to the a PP photographer with the meet and greet. We also kept an eye out for them too.
We did have a bunch of missing pics of the phineas and ferb meet and greet once we entered the card at home. I emailed PP and by the next day the pics where in my account. DD9 wore a Candice Tshirt that said "brother for sale ". the reaction from Phineas and ferb were priceless!! Soo happy they found them.
We do have a magic shot that is missing the magic but not a big deal.
We were very pleased with the + card. We have always done just the reg card for all of our trips. I really wanted the stock photo CD that came with it. I Shutterfly all of our trips and the Stock CD will be awesome to add into our trip books.
Not sure if we will do it again next year. But glad we did it this year.
