Using photopass card after entering it online

[ArielRae]

I am visiting WDW next month without DH. I was wondering when I get the photopass card can I have my husband enter it on the photopass site and he be able to see all the pictures I get taken during the trip? Or once it is entered on the site you can't use it for more pictures and need to get a new one.

I hope you understand what I am asking.

We had PP+, but I'm pretty sure it's the same.

You can continue to use the PP card throughout your stay. You can check your photos every night. Sometimes it takes a day for the photos to show up, but often the pictures from the day were already on our account.

In fact, you should try to check your photos every day or two, because sometimes the photos don't show up. You can stop by a photopass desk or email photopass, and they will look for them for you. I tried each way, and each time they were able to find my missing photos. One of the times, the PP photographer had taken about a dozen photos, including a bunch of magic shots, and scanned our card every three or four shots. None of the photos showed on our card, but the PP people were able to find them in the system.

A hint: Any time you get photos taken by a PP photographer, send a text or something noting the time and location. If your photos don't show up, the time is VERY helpful in recovering the photos.

^This is a brilliant idea

This is a good idea because I just got home and looked at our photos for the first time and some are missing.

It's worth it to try to get them recovered, Meredith.

If you fill out the email form, there is a place to put in location, approximate time, who's in the picture, what they're wearing, and anything else that might identify your photo. You can even attact a file with a photo of the people in your group. Most helpful if it's from the same day, so you're all wearing the same thing as the photo they're looking for, but any photo will help them match it up.

The email worked great for us, but talking to the PP guy was a little easier. I sent myself texts throughout the day saying what we were doing, so I could write a trip report. I looked a little high strung when the PP guy asked me about when the pictures were taken, and I said, "5:12." Ha! But he had them pulled up in no time.

Thanks, I'm definitely going to submit the request form. I tried doing it last night but couldn't get it to "send." I will try again tonight.
