What I wish I had known about photopass before!

Last January I bought our photopass cd at the parks before we left. Then during our November trip we just didn't get the time to get the cd, so I went online to get the pictures once we got home. Online I was able to add borders and characters. I recieved the cd very quickly with all the additions that I made. One other great thing about ordering online is that when you add a border or whatever the original picture is still there and the picture you make adjustments to is added to the total number of pictures. So, the moral of the story is to get your photopass cd's online at home!

I will try and add some of the pics that were enhanced online!

I don't think so! You get up to a certain # of pictures! I think if you go over that then it is more...... maybe double!?!

Re: What I wish I had known about photopass before!

I can't remember how many pics could be put on one cd but I know it was a lot. Maybe 300! When I got the one in the park they told me if it took more than one they would ususally just go ahead and give it to you, but I don't know about online. Of course we never went over the 300 limit. I think we had like 175 or something.

I used the some of the Christmas borders and they were very cute, as well as the once for each character and parks.

Do I have to buy separate CDs for a trip in May and a trip in June?

Re: What I wish I had known about photopass before!

Your photopass card is only good for 30 days after your trip but you can add all the photopasses from one trip to one order. We had four different photopasses, since we had 8 people on the trip.

Re: What I wish I had known about photopass before!

When I was looking into it someone (on another message board) told me that if I got my photopass card and redeem in on the 29th day it would stay on the web site for another 30 days after I redeemed it. (Im going for almost 2 months so its a good thing for me).

Re: What I wish I had known about photopass before!

I did a PhotoPass Share on another site and we had well over 1000 pics between 6 of us. They put them on a bunch of CDs and we ordered in advance. We only paid something like $20 or $25 each. The person who headed it up was in charge of ordering, making sure everyone was done putting their pics in, getting the CDs, making the copies, sending them out to the appropriate people. We had about 150-175 pics on ours! GREAT deal!

Re: What I wish I had known about photopass before!

I have to echo what RLB said. I am so happy with the photos on our Photopass CD, esp. the boarders and character autographs that I was able to add to the photos. And I love the fact that there is a copyright release included on the CD so that places like Walmart will print them for you.

You're going for almost two months??? Do you need a nanny?

I thought it was 30 days from when you last use your photopass in the parks. I would double check how long it will be available online while you are there!

No thanks on the nanny, Im staying with my Inlaws who haven't seen my daughter since she was three months old. Im lucky to be able to keep her for a little each day when Im there.

I checked it out with my SIL who works at Disney who asked one of the photopass people. They told her that they are vaild for 30 days on the card but if you upload the cards into your account they will stay on your computer account for another 30 days.
