We've gotten the photopass CD the past few trips. But, we've also been pleased to discover that the photopass photographers are always more than happy to take a shot with your camera as well and had pretty much decided we'd skip the CD from now on.

Best to call and find out on that one if it doesn't say it on the website.

As of now, the preorder is still 100 bucks. Of course, Photopass doesn't officially handle the pre-orders, and they do seem to expire, even though there is no expiration date posted anywhere on the site, or the receipts from preordering. That said, they usually are good about reactivating the code for you if that does happen.
No one seems to know if pre-orders will still exist after the price goes up, and if they do, what they will cost.

+1. Let's see...a blank cd costs about $0.20, then add the cost of training, equipment, labor, and the cd should cost about... $10.00. Total waste IMO.
Same here.
We have bought the CD three times now, but we did the job ourselves on our last trip.
There were 4 of us in our party (2 couples) so we took pictures of the other couple and they took pictures of us... saving $100+
We have realised that most of the pictures taken by the Photopass Photographers are pretty poor to be honest (no offence).. We always made a point of placing bags/cameras/bottles by our feet only to disover that the photographers had framed the pictures really badly and included our feet and all the bags etc.. why do you think we took them off in the 1st place?? :brick:
We always used to get 150+ Photopass pictures taken and there would only ever be about 10 or so that would be worth keeping - too many people in the background, a stroller in the way, one or both of us with our eyes closed or suchlike.
Taking the pictures ourselves allowed us to take our time and make sure that the picture was spot on before moving on. Plus we were using a much better Nikon camera.

I personally have never seen the value in Photopass.. It seems to me that the only thing they do is add things to the photos. :shrug:.. I like the fact that you can ask them to take a picture using your camera... On three day trips I usually take at least 600 pictures.. But only about 5 - 10 using the photopass photographers. I think the price point for these Photopass CD's should be around 29.95.. not anytinhg near $100+

WOW! That's really pushing it! I never thought it was worth the price before, now even more so. After they first started doing it, we got over 200 pictures taken and looked at them before the end of the trip. Of the 200 pictures, we only had maybe 6 or 7 that were worth having, so we opted not to get it.
Pre-order for $100, maybe, but now, definitely not $149!

Just pre-ordered my photopass for our trip in 2 weeks time. Found this on another site and it worked. Only paid $84.96 including delivery. Much better than paying $149.99 if I wait till I get there!!!

We purchased the WDW photo scrapbook last year.
We usually just order 1 family pic from our photopass pics (us in front of the castle) each year.

The photopass is cheap and well worth it if you took a lot of photos. We chose not to buy it though. Just picked the best for the photo album. The cd for our wedding at Disney in March was $750.00 for 370 pictures. Lets just say we certainly did not buy that one either. Load up the photo pass and pick the ones you like the most. Just do not forget to claim the pictures before 30 days is up.

Rip off!!!!!!

I agree that the photo cd is a rip off. That is one reason we did not buy either the photo pass or our wedding cd. We just picked a few from the photopass and they gave us all the 5x7's of all the pictures they took. I admit that $149 seems expensive, but compared to the wedding cd at $750, thats cheap.
