I don't do anything with them except share via email and see them on my screensaver. I may do one this winter and use it as my Christmas card, but I did my own last year...same pic, but with my camera and printed from Walmart.com I always hand my camera over to the photopass people, and I get the exact pic (with the exception of the Tink Prints) that I can do whatever I want with.
Originally Posted By NJ AP We've bought two of the CDs. Even using our very good camera, theirs is always better. They have a way of making the images glisten. The skin tone is better. There is no limit to how many pictures a card can fit. The first time (at Christmas) we had over 300 photos on the card. This time (early May) we had over 200. They are running a deal where if you buy the CD at DisneyLand, you get 3-5x7s plus the CD for $80, using the Disney credit card will save you another 10%. It is an awesome deal. BTW, if you are going to WDW or the NYC Disney Store, you can add pictures for up to 30 days. That is part of how we got to over 300 photos the first time (the trip to NYC, not Florida).

Originally Posted By NJ AP Yes, you give the card to the photographer and he links it to the photos he just took. If you forget your card, or if there are several people in your group, you can link cards later. And yes, if you buy it online for $125, the embellishments and borders are included. If you buy it in the park for $80 (the current sale ending soon) you do not get the embellishments, but they do included them on the three 5x7s. Tinker Bell is included in both deals. Happy posing.

Originally Posted By NJ AP Sorry, I think the current sale ends within the next week. I'd love to just pop over and ask, but I live in New Jersey. (boo hoo hoo) Who knows, if this sale is good (and it started off with very good sales) maybe they'll do another one in June. Good luck.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Just popping in with a thumbs up for photopass Since DH and I are usually in the parks by ourselves, most of my pictures are of scenery or him doing something goofy, very few of the 2 of us. Last month we decided to try photopass and had our picture taken in various spots in both DCA and DL. As I approached the CM, if I had my camera in my hand, most would ask if I wanted a picture taken with my camera too Anyway, it took me a couple of weeks to finally log on and I was really happy with what I saw. Some nice pix of us with various backgrounds and I could play around with the cropping and embellishments, save them and then go back and think about what I really wanted before I ordered. I always felt awkward ordering in the park when other people were waiting in line or if I didn't really like any of the pictures. I received my pictures in 4 days and they came in a cute Disneyish envelope

Can print out my own pictures now and as many as I want. And yes, they offered themselves to take pics with our camera also, before we could even think about asking.

Originally Posted By ssturgeo I bought the CD online after I was home several days. Had looked at the pictures online a couple of times, was still deciding what I wanted to do when I got the email offer. You have a month before they expire, so no rush to purchase anything.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I just received an email from PhotoPass reminding me that our PhotoPass was about to expire. Good to know that if you look at your pictures (thus signing up with an email address) you don't have to worry about forgetting to order if you get get busy with life
