"Digital Options Now Available"

Disney beat us to it. You can now buy a digital photo of you on the ride for....THE SAME PRICE! $15! Does anyone else think that is outrageous? How can they get away with charging that much? I think many more people would buy them for, say, $5.

So for the same price I can get a physical copy that presumably costs them more in supplies and labor than the digital copy that doesn't cost anything in supplies.

Yeah, that makes cents [sic] for WDW.

Well, because it's a picture that they own and you want. High priced? Yup. But can you get the pic any other way? Nope.

Unless you can get a good picture of the preview screen...

Exactly. I'm getting pretty good at it, too.

If it's a ride photo probably not.

If it's a photopass one? Well....

What do all your plushes, pins, and vynils do? Collect dust?

You have 30 days to decide or you can order the CD of all your pictures taken by photo pass. It's $100 if you pre order, $150 if you get it when on or after your vac. It's really a good deal you can get lots of pitures and you own the rights to the pictures. so you can make as many copies of them as you want.
