So I ordered the Photopass online, now what??

So I ordered the Photopass online, so now what? Will they send me something to give the people at WDW? I printed the receipt and everything.

How soon can I call to make a GF photo shoot time? Where do I find those telephone numbers??

I can't help with the GF information.

I pre-ordered the photopass CD. Don't loose the e-mail with the online code they sent you because you'll need it when you get back. You don't actually get the CD until after your trip.

When you get there, find the first photopass photographer you can find and get a photpass card. Everytime they take a picture they will scan the card. When you get back you log in to the photopass site, enter the numbers on your photopass cards and voila! there's all your pictures!

You can edit them as much as you want before ordering. Just remember that you have 30 days from the day you get back to order the CD. When you're ready to order the CD you'll put in the code they e-mailed you and it will be zero due.

I just got my CD last week!

Thanks so much.

So I don't need to show my receipt to the Photopass receipt to the photographers in the parks, just the GF photo shoot to get the reduced rate, right??

Thanks for posting the link. So am I reading it right ... you can preorder your photo pass CD? Do you just use the card that the first photographer you stop for gives you?
I find a lot of theme park photographers annoying but actually loved the ones at Disney ... we actually ended up with some photos with me (the official family photographer) in them.

I was told by someone to tell the photographers you've preordered the CD. They are told to take extra pictures since they know you've already spent the money.

Thanks for the link and the other info. It is very helpful. I will mark on my calendar when the 30 mark is for me. I will be calling right on the day.

You can nest several photopass numbers under one account. For example if you separate and have different photo opportunities or there are specific photopass pictures (CRT), you can combine them under your order. Multiple photopass cards can be combined under one ID.

Last year my wife had a photopass card for Toontown for our daughter. My son and I ran into Star Wars characters at MGM (now DHS) and had to get another card. We were not happy with the photo presented at CRT. There was a photopass number in the corner of the picture. We combined all of these under our one ID.

There is a forum on this board where people aggregate photopass numbers to to pre-order the CD and make copies after the fact. I have no experience with this but it happens.

And yes pre-ordering the CD will reduce the cost from $125 to $100.
