This is exactly how it happens;

You come up to the register with your photo number. If you want a digital copy, it is $14.95. When you order that, we give you a ride photopass, which is slightly different from the normal photopass. We scan your photo, & you go to the website with that code on the back. Once you put the code in you have 10 days to download your photo. You can download the photo 10 times & I believe from what I have been told it is a 4x6 size. If the shop can not edit your photo then you can not edit your photo on the website. You can just download it & do whatever you want with it.

If you buy any photo package, you get the digital download with the photo package. So you can buy the 8x10 & get 10 more downloads with that.

The difference between the ride photopass & a regular photopass is once you get a ride photopass, you can't add photos from around the park onto that, yet we can add your ride photo to your regular photopass. So if you have a regular photopass, & you go on the website to look at your photo, something should pop up & tell you that your ride photo is ready to download. I haven't seen it first hand yet but that is what I was trained.

So, are you saying you CAN or CANNOT put your ride photo on your regular photopass account like you can at Test Track?

Ok, that sounds confusing! I just assumed if I paid for the download it would be added to a photopass card and it would be on my account when I put in my card number on the website.

I always wondered why Disney didn't add every ride photo to PhotoPass. I think they would sell more CDs if this was one of the features.

This looks like the Space Mountain system, not the Test Track system. You can add it to your PhotoPass account ONLY if you pay the fee. Paying the fee also grants you access to download that photo even if you do not buy any other photopass photos. But buying the PhotoPass CD will not give you the ToT picture (or the Space Mountain picture) unless you have paid the separate attraction photo fee.

The Test Track picture, on the other hand, gets loaded onto your photopass card and treated like any other picture taken around the parks.

Well, if what you're saying is correct, I retract everything I said above. This will, in no way, boost PhotoPass sales. Why would you care if it's added to your PhotoPass if you're already paying $20 to buy it?

If they did it the Test Track way for all on-ride-photo rides, THAT would boost PhotoPass sales. But instead, they're just getting more greedy, one ride at a time. Sigh.

Yes u have to buy it ahead of time. This is EXACTLY what I said earlier. It doesn't make any sense for them to add attraction photos to the other photos. Test track and SM had two systems and both were used to test what would work out best. They sell more photos on the actual time of the ride. It's not greedy, it just makes great business sense. No matter which option u choose, u get a photopass copy as well. You could still put the photo on a mug or t-shirt later.

Yeah, ToT photos will be the same price for the download option as other photos. I wonder if there is the need to have a digital copy of a ToT photo.

This is a great thing to have more and more attractions having the PP option added but why only 10 days to download it? Some guests are in WDW more than 10 days so does this mean it won't be available by the time we get home or am I missing something.

A) it is across the board now for every attraction with a ride photo. It's not just Tower and Space. B) You have 30 days to access the photo online but once its been accessed you only have 10 days to download it.

How about an extra fee to have the option of adding all your on-ride photos to your Photopass CD? One fee and you can add as many ride photos as you want during your trip!

I wonder would that interest more people!?! I wonder would more folks buy the CD!?! :shrug:

I think I would pay an extra fee to have all my on-ride photos added. I have never purchased an on-ride photo before but I think I would shell out a few dollars to have all of them from one trip!

I'd be interested but but if Im already shelling out $100-$150 for the photo pass cd/book I think it should be included.

Yeah, I've never bought a photopass but was considering it for our upcoming trip. We have quite a few ride photo's and the idea of being able to add them to a photopass CD would be appealing. Having to shell out $14.95 on top of $150 is not.

I think if Disney were to make all the ride photos available on a photopass CD without extra per-ride charges, they'd sell a zillion photopass CDs. Apparently, thought, they think they can make more money this way, or there is a licensing problem that keeps them from doing this.

*sigh* nobody listens. Trust me, adding the photo to the pass cd isn't necessary bc you already OWN it for the 14.95. Plus, if they had it where they didn't sell the photo at the attraction, it would not be purchased nearly as much.

It isn't necessary, but it lets you do the edits from the Photopass system. Crops, borders, etc, and then get the edited digital copies. I believe the 14.95 download just lets you get the single original image, not the edited versions.

Of course, trust somebody I don't know and never met who pontificates on a web site. Okay.

Considering a photopass cd costs $150, I am apt to believe that all the photos should be included. I am not against photopass at all and my wife and I were all to happy to pay for it considering it was our honeymoon, AND you got shots that are impossible with only 2 people together. Both of us were able to be in the pics.

I overheard someone get quoted $162 for their photopass CD yesterday, wow that is expensive!!!

Not if you use it to your advantage and fill it up with as many pictures as possible during your trip.

Gaining rights to digital images is rarely cheap, you're also paying for that.
