Please explain how Universal's My Photo service works?

[lisalonglash]

We're thinking about adding this to our package (I figure the more vacation pictures I don't have to take, the better lol), but I can't find definitive information about how this service actually works.

Are the photographers in decent numbers all over the parks (all three parks, hopefully)?

Would we have web access to all the pictures (ride pictures, water slide pictures, street pictures, etc.) with this or is there some "you have free access to these 10 pictures, but you have to pay for access to these "premium" pictures or whatever"? I hate being nickle-and-dimed, especially if we've already paid for the service kwim?

Anything else I should know?

It was easy to find out this information for Disney's Photopass/Memory Maker and we've added that to the Disney part of our vacation, but I'd love to know more about the Universal equivalent, please.

Thank you!

There is also a current discount going for the photo package. Much cheaper than the typical rate.

You do get indefinite internet access to all your photos. There are photographers around, plus the ride photos.

I love it for the simple reason that I get lots of pics of me and my son. He normally avoids the camera like the plague but vacation is different for some reason - so I take advantage!

It's easy the big sale ends today I believe. You buy it then you check in at the photo store to activate. You get a ticket that you show to the wandering photogs. There aren't that many but you can find them. You get your ride pictures if you stop at the photo counter after the ride and there are also automated selfie stations. You get a list of all the photo ops when you pick up your pass.
