Hi,

Has anyone from the UK done the pre-order photopass option? I was thinking of doing this before we travel, as I'd be interested in seeing what pics we get and then decide what to order. Can I pre-order now with two and a half months to go before we travel?

Also, have you found the photopass people easy to spot whilst in the parks?

TIA
 
The PhotoPass site appears to be down at the moment but apparently the code you get when you pre-order the CD is valid for 6 months so you should be fine to order now.

The photographers are pretty easy to spot as they all wear the same outfits and have large cameras. Once you know what you are looking for you will see them all over the parks.
 
Thanks for the advice. I've signed up for the Photopass site, so once it comes back working again I'll look into pre-booking this for us. Seems a good offer and even if I don't wish to order I can get a full refund right? Thats the jist I seem to be getting :)
 
Yes, if you decide not to get the CD, you'll be able to get a refund. However, you must request your refund within 2 weeks after the end of your vacation.

Remember that even with 20 photos on your PhotoPass card(s), once you edit, crop, add borders etc, that photo count could increase by 5 times - easily! ;)

BTW, I have already pre-ordered our CD for our trip in May. :hippie:

probably a silly question but how does it increase if you have only had 20 taken? Also, are the photographers just in the parks & during the day.
 
We Pre Ordered ours also......

We got an email almost straight away with the confirmation.

They take the money from your method of payment straight away....

You get your original photo, on your computer you can add various additions, such as the year, name of park, character such as tinkerbelle sprinkling pixie dust on you, so suddenly one picture can become four - does that make sense? We had 278 (approx) taken in the park with additions I got up to nearly 500 which were put onto two discs.

The amount of pictures you end up with can increase greatly from the actual amount taken. Once you view your pics online, you will see what I mean, but for instance you can:

Add special borders
Add character autographs
Crop your pictures

Each time you amend a photo, it saves the new one and keeps the original. ;) So you could have the same photo "plain", with a special border (or 2) and with a character autograph (if applicable). You could also crop the picture to your tastes then add graphics to that version too if you want. :goodvibes

PhotoPass photographers are mainly in the parks, including the waterparks, and can be found in all sorts of places. For example - near the entrance, near the main icons of the park (tree of life in AK, Cinderella's Castle in MK, etc), with characters at their meet and greet locations (but not at them all). They will be in the parks all day - some of the best shots we had taken were at night-time. :thumbsup2

Hope this helps, but feel free to ask away if you have any other questions. :)
 
Hi

Just ordered ours for our April trip.

Used it last year and thought it was great value for money. Even more so now it's only $99. Received confirmation e mail almost immediately. Great fun adding borders signatures etc.

You can also send a link to your friends e mail address (via Disney I think) for them to view.

Eventually ended up with 130 photos from an original 60. Also believe there is a map somewhere where it shows the locations of the official Disney photographers. Shame only Test Track on photopass at the moment.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for the info. Sounds like a really good deal, although I would possibly not pose for that many.
 
Wonderful guys, thanks for all the replies...think I'm going to get this sorted a.s.a.p :) I'll just keep ALL the e-mail info until we get back, then I've no chance of getting in wrong :rotfl2:

Oh I am stressing...:lmao:

UPDATE: Just ordered it now...another step closer :) Thanks again!
