New Photopass Incentive

We just returned from out WDW fix for this year and found a new incentive if you plan on purchasing the Photopass CD.

They've installed a Photopass counter on the second floor lobby area of the GF, same level as the Monorail. You can view and purchase your photos in the same way at in the parks.

They will also book you a time to do a “photo session” in the resort. They spend 20-30 minutes with you, run you and your family around the resort and taking photos in various locations and combinations. In front of the huge chandelier, on the stair cases, outside by the fountain, in the hammock and on the lawn and the beach.

You either arrange to purchase the CD on site or bring your proof online purchase prior to your trip. I didn't have my prior purchase receipt with me so they directed me to the business office to print it from my email and we were set.

We didn't have time to pre-plan, you know, pick out nice outfits and fix hair, but it was fun and actually captured pictures that were a "real" look at our vacation as a result. She took 72 pictures in that time and several nice enough to frame.
I don't have the CD yet but let's see if this attachment will work.

Re: New Photopass Incentive

Oh, I do like that. What a great photo of you and your gang You all look great.
I wonder if they do that for any photopass holder or just those rich people in the deluxe resorts.
That is a great perk if it works for anyone.

Re: New Photopass Incentive

I think it would work for anyone, likely according to availability. I don't think they asked if we were staying at the resort and they had lots of times open, I think because it's so new. We did it right away 10 AM, she had only 2 or 3 others booked through mid day.

... We were lucky enough to be able to spend 4 days among "the rich people" - only because it was the only place left with free dining and the $'s worked out... (they eat a lot!) It was beautiful and interesting to see some of the "suits" with blackberries (AKA crackberries) in hand with the kids zooming around their feet.

I'm hoping it will be more widely available, I don't expect to get to the GF again... unless... an anniversay?? He owes me for the coming 25th??

Re: New Photopass Incentive

I absolutely LOVE this idea. How much do you have to purchase to get the photo session?

You had to purchase the CD. Pre-purchased online before your trip it's on special at $99, purchased at the counter it's $124 but includes 3 free 5x7 photos printed for you right then, purchased online after your trip it's also $124 but I don't believe you get free printed photos.

The CD has all your Photopass pictures for you to print or alter any way you want at home.

A women purchased at the counter when I was there, they helped her alter some of the pictures for printing her free photos and told her to come back in 15 or 20 minutes for the CD to be ready. Of course you would want to do that just before leaving. The free photos would be nice but it's more convenient to do it at home before or after your vacation.

Thank you!
