Disneyland PhotoPass Share

This is a message from a friend (you know who you are -and thanks!) that some of you might find worthwhile!

Oh my Goodness!

Next time you get to Disneyland you totally have to sign up! Basically, they have photographers all over the park that take your photo. They give you a little card with a code on it that you use at each photographer. In some places (the entrance gate, the partners statue and the castle) they can add a cute little graphic of Tinkerbell. At Haunted Mansion they can add 2 hitch hiking ghosts to the photo, and in California Adventure they can add Stitch busting out of the ground.

Anyway, you get all these photos taken and when you get home from the trip, you punch in your code numbers and then all your photos that were taken appear online! You can edit them all and add fun stamps to them with the date, etc or fun borders. If the photographer takes your photo with a character, you can even add their signature to the photo. They are wicked expensive though- a 5x7 is $12.95!! The other option is to order a CD of all the images, which is $100. Which really isn't that bad considering how much it is per photo.

But I didn't have the money for that, so over at www.disboards.com I joined in on a photopass share (I'm actually hosting my second one now!) and that person sets up an account, and people can join in. They add their card codes to that account, edit them all and everyone splits the cost of the CD. Then when the CD arrives, the person hosting it makes copies of the CD's and mails it to everyone. So I ended up only having to pay $10!

Anyway, the CD also includes the copyright release, so you are free to make as many copies as you want, etc.

Either way, it's something new about Disney that we learned about, and we're loving having all these fun photos!

Seems like a great deal and lots of fun, even if you don't do the share. It seems that sometimes shares are harder to find than others.
