I guess let's give this a few more weeks to see if we get anyone else to sign up?! Let's say mid to end October?
could you explain this a little more. remember i am old and a little slow in grasping some things.
my granddaughter and i are going 9 dec -13. i have 30 days from that time to purchase these photopass cd's/pictures. how exactly does that work with sharing with other sr members?
i would like to join you, but i don't understand it.
and one part i really don't understand, if you entrust one person to order these cd's, using their name and password would that mean we can't see our pictures til we get those cd's? or are you (the one person) going to give us your name and password so we can look at them before the end of dec?
I have an account created. When December gets closer, I'm going to give everyone the username and password. When you get in from your trip (or while at Disney if you have Internet access), you would input your photopass numbers and do any of the "upgrades" you wanted - like adding borders, signatures, etc. I'm the last one on the list so I'll do mine at the end of my trip and then order the CD. When it comes in, I'll copy it and send it to everyone who participates. The price to prepurchase is 99.95 so basically, we'll divide $100 by however many people participate and all share the pictures.
There is an amount of trust involved with this and you are making your pictures available to everyone participating (they will all be on 1 cd). That is why I chose to try one here and not do it on DIS. I feel that we are more like a "family" here and DIS is so huge.
Is this clear at all? Feel free to ask more questions if it isn't. :sunshine2:

I will also be in WDW in December!!! This is the first time I have seen this thread. This is something I would consider....
Is there a place I can read about this? Some of the questions I have are:
How many pictures will fit on the cd? What happens if the last person at WDW doesn't get all of the pictures they want because they don't fit on the disk? Who is taking the pictures, is it the cast members? How do the pictures get on the disk? Do we have to give them (the photographer) something or some information?
Sorry! This is our first time at WDW and while I have done some research, this isn't anything I've looked into!!!
sorry! JUST read through the thread :p
I see where they will send you 3 or 4 cds if need be, and that was my biggest concern.
I'm still not clear on the rest of the details, like how this even works, but for $15 or $20, I am definately in!! Even if I get a few pictures with my whole family, INCLUDING me (!), then it will be worth it!!!
Let's see...I'm going to try to explain the best I can...I hope I don't confuse you more. :rotfl:Quote:

If you happen to not have your card with you (or if your party separates, you can have multiple cards and combine them on the website). The photographers are usually at least at all of the entrances and then with most all of the characters.
The Official Site is here http://www.disneyphotopass.com/ if you want to read more
and this site also does a decent job at explaining it. http://www.allearsnet.com/tp/ppass.htm
Read over and let me know if you want in for sure. We are to the point now that we're going to each get the CD(s) for the price of one picture so you almost can't go wrong.
That's what I like about this....that I get to be in a few pictures and not always behind the camera!! :mickey:Quote:

there are photographers around the parks, including the water parks. any time you see one you get have them take your pictures. they will give you a card, with a barcode or some sort of code that they scan into there equipment. each photographers will give you a new one or you can continue with your old one if you can find it and remember to bring it with you.
at the end you have all these cards and then you plug the numbers into the computer when you get home and can see your photos.
but since we are going to share the photo cd, DO NOT use your name to put your numbers in the system. you must go in using mom2aprincess name and password which she will give us. i believe once you go in using your own name you will not beable to get in on this deal.
Your correct. You do not want to enter your numbers for viewing anywhere else - not under your name on the website or at the stations at WDW. Once you claim them, they can not be claimed again. I'll make sure you have my username and password though before you go. If you do have Internet access while there, you can look at them under my name while there.Quote:

Awesome! That's almost my exact travel dates. Where are you staying? Who all is in your family? Ages? Maybe we can get together one day/night.
Yes, it will work perfectly for you. You and I will both just have to be sure to come in and get ours edited quickly so that we can get it ordered. :)
I'll add you to the first slide when I get home from work this afternoon.
That gets us down to about $15 bucks everyone!!!! :cooldance:

One more question......And since I don't know how to "sugarcoat it" I will just ask......Is this fraudulent? I understand about sharing a Wishes cruise, or a fridge swap.....is this the same thing or is this shady and looked down on by Disney?
I'm sorry if this is rude. I'm not judging, I'm just asking!
don't apologize. i was thinking the same thing. but i honestly do not mind if it is. lets face it, this is all digital, it does not cost anyone including disney to put pictures on a cd more than $100.
i really do not feel bad about this one.
Giving you a Bump! Becuase I love Photopass!!!!
Wow!! That's a great deal!! I have 2 DDs (Age 7 and 16). I bet the younger ones would have a blast if we have any plans that are similar. We're doing MVMCP on the 20th. But maybe some of our other plans will overlap. We'll have to compare schedules when it gets closer. :mickey:Quote:

Does Disney intend for people to share and do this? I'm sure they don't, but I did go back and read their terms, etc and I didn't see any specifics that actually make it fraud according to their terms.Quote:

It probably is about time to pay just so that everyone doesn't get busy. I'll run a CD over to the post office one day this week and get an estimate on what it will cost to ship it and then send out a final amount so everyone can start sending it. I have plenty of blank CDs and CD sleeves so I'm not going to add anything to the photopass cost except the shipping. I know I'm getting super busy too so it will be nice to have it checked off the list.Quote:

I just went back and calculated days:
If you (Hedy, since she's our first arrival) input your photopass numbers on the day of arrival we have until January 7 to order (which gives us plenty of time as I get back on the 30th). If no numbers are put in until eaglesdare gets home on the 13th (our first person to be back home), then we have until January 12th. So we should be good to go on dates. The way it works is you have 30 days from the day a picture is taken to claim in online and then you have 30 days from when you claim them to place the order.
QUESTION FOR THE GROUP:
Would you rather this be sent parcel post or priority?
I'm not sure of the parcel post rate, but I went and played around on the usps website and it looks like priority would be $4.60.
These are estimates (I weighed a CD and an envelope and went to USPS.com and looked up rates):
Media Mail (I think this qualifies right) - SLOW - $1.80
First Class Mail - $2.25
**I'll get a more official estimate from post office next time I'm there during their hours.
since you used me as a person to arrive home first, i just want to make sure with your dates that you know i will not be home, til the 15th. not sure that makes a difference, just wanted you to know though in case it does.
That just means we have 2 more days at the end. :)Quote:

Yes you can ship media mail!
btw i just wanted to let those know who are doing the cd that editing can be very time consuming to add borders and things... I got 239 photos during my trip and am still editing them and have about 90 left to edit and my photo count is about 2100 so far.......
That's what I'd want to do too if it was me waiting, but wanted to make sure everyone agreed before I added that into the cost. I'll try to get to the post office tomorrow for a final/official estimate. If not, I'll definitly be able to go on Friday.Quote:

Yes, have edited the 239 photos taken at WDW and edited them in to 2300+ now and still have 70 Left to Edit!!!!Quote:

Because you can not add the boarders after you get the cd! I wanted to get everything!!! and not go I wish i had that photo but with that! and each park has a different boarder, test track has a special boarder, and most all the character photos have signature graphics to add! So it takes alot of time but thats what i have been doing!!! making a lot of photos, BTW i will let you know how many cds this comes on because i am thinking it may be a few...

You're marked off the list too Hedy!!
