Glad it could help :mickey: ...I am thinking I'll order one too and then try to strum up the interest for sharing it with other SR members in December...

Well I orderd Last week when i saw it on mousesavers, but i always like to give this over a mention or a bump! because its so good. and I love to Highlight that it has FREE SHIPPING of the CD! That makes this deal save over $30.00 and almost a 30% savings!

Did Photopass last september and it only cost 99.95 then, but no graphics or edited photos, like you can get now, but I did not care to much for the price increase so this is just Great!

Shareing is even better. I would join you but I am Going Sep 1-15 so my photos would expire.



Woot 75th Post!

Does anyone know if there is an expiration on this? What I mean is, I don't have a trip planned until end of 08, beginning of 09. If I prepay now to get this great deal, would it still work by the time I take my trip??

I actually found this one on a forum and the response from photopass was that it didn't expire.....I think I'm going to send a personal email myself too though....I'll post the reply.

I sent the message. I stated that my trip was in December and I had another friend planning for December 08 (didn't know for sure when yours was but figured this would be safe) and wanted to know if we could prepurchase now and use it during our respective trips... :)

I don't mean to be stupid, but can someone really explain the photopass thing to me? I read everyone talking about it, but I am not sure I understand it all. TIA

There are photographers set up all around Disney parks. They (at least the first one) gives you a card (credit card size) with an ID number on it and takes you pictures. After that, you show your card to future photographers as they take pictures of you and your family (most characters have these photographers with them). Your pictures are uploaded online and then you can purchase them. The per picture charge though is really high (at least in my opinion) but you can buy the CD and have copyright privileges to all of them and print them as you see fit. T

he CD's are like 125 dollars (but only 100 with this discount). I'm trying to get interest going for a group of us to share the expense in December and buy one CD and then make copies of it for everyone. If we could get 4 - 5 people that gets the price down to 20 dollars or so.

But if you preorder it, you can get it cheaper? Does it take up a lot of time to get the pictures taken? I don't want to waste a bunch of time. :confused: But I do want some really good pictures!

Mom2aPrincess
08-06-2007, 12:00 PM
It does take some time (not a lot, but you do have to pause for the picture), but we were going to see all the characters anyways (my daughter was 5 and that was a big priority). And I love the entrance photos that have the family in them. I'm always behind the camera so these were rare!

Yes, if you preorder it's 99.95 versus the $125 if you wait until after your trip.

Thanks for the response! About how many pictures do you have taken? Just trying to decide if this is right for us. Thanks. One more question, do you pay for it ahead of time or just order it? I am afraid if we order it and then don't get that many pictures taken, it won't be worth it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!

I just ordered it...and an FYI...it let me select Express Shipping for FREE!! :cooldance:

These disks are just AWESOME...we got one when we were there last year in April, they did all of the enhancements for you and then when we went back in May there were NO enhancements, so that stunk...but at least now you can do those yourself.

I am assuming they are like before where you get the enhanced and unenhanced images on the disk right???

Thank you so much for this confirmation!!! I was also scared to purchase because we dont leave until November!!! Awesome Deal! This time I really need to utilize my photopass, I only got like 8 pictures last time and didnt feel it was worth getting the disc so I just purchased the 5x7 of a couple.

Thanks, Mom2aPrincess about the 6 month part. I am so anxious to go that I wanted to do something. Glad, I am a procrastinator or I might have already ordered mine.

I'm the same way about taking my kids out of school. There was talk about our system going yr round and I was rooting for it so we could go in October.

You're welcome....

Sometimes I wish I wasn't like that about school, but growing up I was NEVER allowed to miss....My parents said that school was my job and that I was given plenty of vacation time...I guess they really engraved it into me as my daughter had perfect attendance in kindergarten and 1st grade....:rotfl:

I have a question. Is there a limit to how many pictures you can take on it?
Or can I also have pictures taken with all three kids then each child individual? (Assuming crowds and lines aren't an issue)


Brian, can you explain to me where you got your deal from that you saved $30? THis is the first I'm hearing it. I have a great Sony Cybershot and take tons of pictures as is, but I defintely don't want to miss out on the special character ones.

ok to pre-order the cd go to http://www.disneyphotopass.com/previsitcdplan.aspx
and pay the 99.95 and they will send you an e-mail code that when you go and buy the cd latter you will pay nothing and get free shipping too!

No Limit on the number of photos we had 239 photos taken and have edited them in to 2200+ photos and still have about 80 left to edit!

Yes you can have them do one of the family then each kid just as the photo person and it may depend on the line but most of the time they are very good about letting you get the shots you want and the photopass photos you want the only ride that is on the photopass as of know is the test track in WDW and in WDW and mabey DL they have a special photopass and character meet and greet for disney visa holders too!

For the character dinners you only get the photopass code if you buy the photo package at dinner! ie chef mickeys you get the chef mickey photo only when you buy it!

That depends...it's on the side of the pictures...so if you examine them for a while, you could still get the code (so I've read on DIS).

That is true, that did work, and might still work! The last i heard is that they still print with the code and only if you buy they go back and add the photos to that number! I know when we did the CM we liked the photo and the extra 8x10 character photo so we got the package! and the code did work. so i guess YMMV

If we have to actually buy them, I'm REALLY all for everyone getting together and sharing photopass CDs because that starts adding up if you are doing all the character meals we are this time.
