Carey ~ what's the difference between the two passes? I have read some things, but I haven't actually talked to anyone who has done both & could explain it first hand. Thanks!
Hi there! You can still get PhotoPass and PhotoPass+ via preorder but you MUST do PP+ ahead of time. They send you a special case which has a voucher in it. That voucher is turned in at the photo shop at a park and you get a red PP+ card that is on a lanyard and they stamp it so it is good for 2 weeks.
Rather then giving the PhotoPass photographers the little blue / cream card, you give them your PP+ card. If you forget your red card though, don't worry, they can add the pics from the regular PP+ card to the red card.
When you go on a ride, you take your PP+ card to the pic up window with the number of your photo and they will add it onto your PP+ card. At a restaurant, you will still get your sets of printed photos but you will also get them digitally added to your PP+ card as well.
On a personal note - and I have no factual basis for this except that I heard 2 cast members say this to me - I feel that the photographers do more if they see you have PP+. I had 2 cast members say to me "lets take some fun shots - you have PP+" and "I'm going to take a lot, you have PP+". Again, it could just be the timing of when I was there or the photographer who was shooting but either way, I felt like we got loads of great shots and special attention.
At the end of the trip, when you add all the borders and are ready to redeem your photos, you put the disk in your cart and redeem the coupon code that is inside that case you received. You can have them sent to your two ways - via disk or down loaded. I opted for the disk. I'm old school like that
The shipping time is 7 to 10 days but you can upgrade to 3 to 5 days for $6.95. I choose that b/c I was so impatient. With the weekend and the Columbus Day holiday, it did take 5 days from the time it shipped. And it shipped 2 days after I ordered it.
I hope this helps!
