Just to make sure I am understanding everything correctly...
When you purchase the CD (either online, or at WDW), I think someone on this thread said that you get rights to the pictures. Is this correct?
I work at Walmart and I was talking to one of the photo department girls the other day about these kinds of CD's, be it from WDW or a cruise, or what have you. She said typically they will give you copyright release papers, allowing you to print out copies of the pictures on the CD.
If memory serves me correctly, it was about 15 bucks to purchase a 5X7 picture at the photo centers at the theme parks. So if all my above info is correct, then if I have, say, 25 pictures on my photopass and want to purchase a 5X7 of all 25 of them (which I wouldn't at that price), I would be paying $375.
At Walmart, it is $1.47 to print out a 5X7 of one of those pictures. As an employee, I get a 10% discount, so it would be $1.33 for a 5X7. So, if I printed off a 5X7 of all 25 pictures, that would be $33.25, in addition to the $99 price of the CD, for a total of $132.25.
If all those facts and figures are correct, that sounds like a heck of a deal.
And, in case it hasn't been covered already in this thread, can someone give me a detailed list of all the places besides the parks where you can get a photopass picture taken? Mini-golf? Boardwalk? Downtown Disney? etc, etc..[/quote]
See post(below) that was 2 or 3 above yours. I didn't see any at the Boardwalk either. My take on photopass is use your digital(they will take pics with you in it...just ask) and let them take photopass photos of same pic. They will take many shots of you and characters(they took 8 shots of my kids with Genie). At home compare your photos to photpass and you will see most are comprable to yours.... some better but some worse. Point is do I really need 8 shots of the kids with genie when I have a decent one of my own. Instead of buying the CD weed through your photos and photpass pics and make a photomovie out of them. I am currently doing this and I think it is $40 or $45 and is pretty neat.
The character breakfasts we went to did not have photopass photographers and I really don't think they are at any other restaurants. The photopass photographers were at SOME character meet and greets. Not all. They are also at the entrances taking pics infront of Castle, SSE, Tree, and Hat. and also in the waterparks on the family raft rides and kiddie areas. Did not see any one the golf courses or any Mini-golfs.
This IS the truth. I had to take some pics with a disposable camera since my digital crapped out 3/4 of the way thru the trip and my disposable pics are MUCH better then some of the photopass pics.
