Photopass questions

[Barrie]

Will, maybe you know the answer to this - or anyone else.

After MouseFest this year some family and friends will be joining me at WDW. There will be 7 adults and 4 children. I want to get one photopass account for all of us with 7 cards for each of the adults.

How do I go about doing that? Can I get the cards when I am there the week before to save time? If so, where from?

Barrie -

Once you get a photopass card, you can continue to use it from trip to trip. I have one from a former trip already "attached" to my photopass account. When I used it this time, it put the pictures on right away. I'm sure a photographer would give you the cards. They may need to put a picture on them to justify it, but I doubt it.

My suggestion - get photopass cards and if you have internet access, put them all on an account assigned to you (or someone in your party). Then you can give everyone access to that account via the username and password. If you do it before everyone comes, you can all see the pictures as they are posted. Otherwise, just have one person take all the cards at the end of the trip and put them on one account.

Will and Linda have both organized CD groups - so they could explain more about that.

Thanks Kathy - Can I get the passes at guest relations? Or where?

Last year when we went to MF we had my parents PP card that I used so that I could include their pictures on the CD. Then I realized that I had added their number to my PP card so now it could not be used by Will for the CD. Then we went to the MVMCP and had to use another PP card to get the discount for the party pictures. When I took the cards to the PP counter the CM told me they would consolidate them, so now I could have all my pictures on the CD.

So, my suggestion would be to get everyone a PP card and on your last day, take all the card to the PP desk and have them consolidated. Or you can enter all the number into your account as Flash suggested. You get the cards from the PP photographers.

StitchKingdom News states that:

Currently, Test Track in Epcot is the only attraction to feature Disney's PhotoPass technology. After exiting the attraction, guests can locate their ride photo on a bank of monitors and insert their Disney's PhotoPass card into a slot (which has an indicator that momentarily turns from red to green upon successfully crediting the photo to the card) to claim it. There should be a cast member at the monitors to assist any guests that may be having difficulties as well as to distribute new cards to those who need them.

Guests who dine at Cinderella's Royal Table and/or Princess Storybook or purchase a photo package at another of the dining locations where a photo package is offered are in for an additional treat – those photos can be added to Disney's PhotoPass and subsequently treated like any other Disney's PhotoPass photo. The main photo will have a Disney's PhotoPass ID number (should start with EVNT) and the guest can now claim those photos either at a Disney's PhotoPass service location or on their disneyphotopass.com (http://www.disneyphotopass.com/) account as if it were another Disney's PhotoPass card.

But, I read somewhere (and of course can not find where that was...) that on other Action Rides where photos are taken (like Splash Mountain) that you can give the Cast Member @ the Kiosk your PhotoPass card & they will link your photo file from the ride to your card number.
Does anyone know if this is in fact true?
