PhotoPass + for Walt Disney World and Disneyland California

Disney's PhotoPass + is a product you can pre-purchase (14 days or more) before your Disney World or Disneyland Vacation. It is also available once you arrive for your vacation but costs more, so if you feel that this item is right for you I highly suggest pre-purchasing it before your vacation to save some money.

What it includes is:
~A PhotoPass + card (voucher for card if you pre-purchase)- this card you show to the PhotoPass Photographers and at the attraction and dining locations that also have photographs.
 
~ Disney's Photo Gallery CD

~A unique code to create and order a PhotoCD with all of your photos taken by Disney's Photopass photographers.

~Print Packages at select Dining Locations ($29.95 each when purchased sepatately)

~Digital Photos from select Attractions ($14.95 each if purchased separately)


Here is what I learned about this card/product.... If you love to have a family picture taken in front of the castle, in various locations throughout the parks, purchase the photo packages at select dining locations that offer this service, and purchase all the ride photos or you don't want to think about *which* ride photos you want, or pass up on one photo package for another and the other doesn't turn out as well as you hoped, then this is definately for you!!!

A couple (not family) sitting next to us at Chef Mickey's Character breakfast had this PhotoPass + on our recent vacation so I asked her about it, she said she had PhotoPass photographers take over 100 pictures so far for her between the 4 Disney World Parks and 2 Water Parks, plus she had added 20 or more ride photos and gotten the photo packages from 3 restaurants so far. All she had to do was show her PhotoPass + card and they either added the photo digitally to her card or handed over the photo package.  If this is what a couple can do over a few days, it's crazy to think about what a family could do over a week vacation. I am going to try this out on my next Disney Vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort in September, along with some other things as well, and report back to all of you on my findings.  Here are the link to the two different passes:
