The website just looks like it's geared more to WDW, but when you add pics from DL, the options to enhance the photos with icons will be DL ones.

If you know you're going to get the cd have them take your pic everywhere. Tell the photographer you're buying the cd and they'll take even more. I heard from one photographer that one guy ended up with two cds worth of photos. It's the same price no matter how many you buy so take advantage of it and have them snap away. I think we came home with 100 or so pics only because we just decided to buy the cd the last couple of days. Had we known before, we would have taken advantage of more photo ops!
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle >>Pirates Border with Captain Jack Sparrow pictures so you do get some embellishments<< We got that too, it was a great little surprise when we came to print the pictures! I agree, get pictures everywhere - we combined a week at WDW and a week at DLR and got about 430 photos altogether on two CDs - as JBMom said, for the same cost as one CD. Keeping an eye out for the photographers and stopping for photo ops became a big part of our holiday because we LOVE our holiday photos!
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle >>the embellishments are cute, but not necessary for the extra money!!<< Also, if you go for the $80 deal with the three 5 x 7s you can get at least a few photos with the frames and embellishments. We did that deal and since we had the borders that we really loved on them, we didn't mind missing out on them for the rest of the photos.
Originally Posted By MKKPlus2 Just my 2 cents...We pre-ordered the CD from the website for Disneyland. I think I paid $100? But we ended up with about 5 CDs. We tried to take as many photo ops as possible without sacrificing our disneyland experience. But one good feature about the website is that for every embellishment or border you add you can save that as another pic. So basically some pics had 5 embellishments we could add, we went through all the pics and added the embellishments one by one and saved them all. Also you can zoom in and save the zoomed picture. I think it was well worth the additional $40 (if I did pay $100, it was back in Sept or Oct of 07 so I forgot how much I paid)
Originally Posted By liveforvacations Thanks for the info. MKKPlus2!

Now I know that I should have and will do it next time!

My question is what the benefit of the CD is. Have you purchased the copyrights to your pics as well (to have them printed?) or do you have to print them at home?
Originally Posted By smedley You purchase the copyright too, so you can have them printed at the store if you would like to do so.
Originally Posted By BoyStory Wow, in that case it's certainly worth the price! How exiting; more professional pics for the scrapbooks to feed my photo fetish, LOL! Thanks for the quick response, smedley- and I'm especially greatful you actually understood what I was saying b/c that first sentence was quite the garbled mess, LOL! Edit button, please!
Originally Posted By smedley No problem lol!

As a matter of interest I have had one of them done as a small canvas and it looks really cool

Now, we always write down the photopass code when we get a new card or take a picture of the back of each new card.
