Photopass

[daisy 22]

We are back home and looking at the photopass pictures and trying to figure out how to order. Do I have to download onto the CD in order to order through another site?

Also I was disappointed in photopass and did not think it was worth it. They seemed to be less photographers at Disneyland then CA which was surprising. Also we had the graduation mickey ears for our oldest and wanted some shots done and the photographer seemed annoyed and kept trying to put my other kids in the picture. Plus he didn't pose him or anything. All the other photographers were nice and did not seem bothered and did fun stuff without asking.

I do find the ride photos to be a pain when you do Rider Swap. I wish they would give each family 2 cards (one for each parent) or something.

DL needs magic bands I think to make this work smoother.

Yeah I don't know if I am sold on the magic bands the only thing is when you break into a different group cause the one child is too small only one person can do photopass.

Thanks for the help nikkislaght!

daisy 22 - when we've had to split before due to child swap, I've been able to get a separate Photopass card and then have them combine them at the camera shop. I'm not sure if that's normal policy or if the CM was being nice.

you can have a bunch of photocards and then just join them to the account when you get home. But I agree, I was way less than impressed with the number of photographers compared to WDW. The first day at Disneyland, we literally did not see one!

I have to say we were there last week and I was amazed at how many photographers there were! Both by the castle and inside DCA there were 3 just standing there waiting for people! Everyone was great and we have over 200 photos from just 2 days.

I too noticed way more photographers at DCA. Of course, we also did a lot of navigating Disneyland along less frequented paths. I think some of the problem also relates to just how tightly packed Disneyland is, can be hard to find places for photographers to hang out without causing traffic flow issues. Would love to see some stationed at the Dumbos, Tea Cups, rockets, etc. in a similar way that they do Mater's attraction in DCA. Also would be great to have someone in Pixie Hollow around dusk after the fairies have flitted off for bedtime. Seems like they need to do a better job of finding those small nooks. I am totally okay with them not being out with the wandering characters as every non-M&G character I saw with a photographer also had a fairly lengthy line. I would rather snap some photos myself and enjoy watching my daughter get some real time to hang out with her favorites. Peter walked around with her for awhile, don't think that would have been possible with a photographer following along.
