THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER:
Do NOT open your own Photopass account to look at your photos. Once they are in one account they can't be put into another one.
1. The organizer will create an email and a brand new Photopass account either before he/she leaves or when they return from their trip. The group has 30 days once the account is created to edit/embellish the pictures before ordering the CD. Once the account is created, send all participants the login information.
2. When you have pictures taken by the DL photographers, the first one you use will give you a Photopass card (like a gift card). Each time after that you get them to take your pictures you will let them scan your card. This keeps all your pictures together if one day you forget your card, it is ok, you can get a new one, but your pictures will be on more than one card not an issue. The Photopass website will let you add multiple cards (which is how we are able to share). Not sure how current this information is, but this link may help you find Photopass spots:

3. Each person has their own card(s). So keep them with you.
4. Once you return from the trip, you can log onto the account and add your Photopass card numbers.
5. You can ONLY add your card numbers (pictures) to the group Photopass account. To add the picture(s), you log on and add your Photopass card numbers. Once they are in, you can edit them/add embellishments. Only add your Photopass card pictures here, not your personal camera ones. If you add your cards (pictures) to another account they will not be able to be added to the shared account the website will only let you have your card on one account.
6. You can add your pictures as soon as you return home; remember, you have 30 days from the date the account is created. You must all be done adding pictures and done adding pictures/embellishing before that 30 days is up.
7. The organizer orders the CD(s).
8. Once the organizer receives the CDs, he/she will burn you a CD/DVD and mail it to you for the cost of the materials (DVD, envelope, postage), which is about $5 additional to the cost listed below.
HERE IS THE APPROXIMATE COST BREAKDOWN FOR THE PICTURES ON THE WEBSITE (pictures only, not including approximately $5 for DVD, envelope, postage): $137.94 total ($124.95+12.99 s/h)

You can look at your pictures at
Disneyland before going home, and even order pictures if you want.
DO NOT MAKE A PHOTOPASS ACCOUNT ONCE YOU GET HOME, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ADD THEM TO THE PHOTOPASS SHARING ACCOUNT.
