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.

Yeah, that makes cents [sic] for WDW.

Originally Posted By Disneymom443 You just add it to the photo card then at the end of your vac. you can go online and pick the ones that you want. 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.
