PhotoPass

[joanne]

Did a quick search and nothing came up, so presume it's not been mentioned yet.

Noticed a leaflet about it when we checked in at POFQ, then got to make use of it in the parks :)

You know the Disney photographers that are always waiting when you enter the park? Now, when they take your photo, they give you a credit card size plastic card. As well as viewing and possibly purchasing your photos at the shop as you leave, you can now view them online for 30 days after. The site is www.DisneyPhotoPass.com (http://www.DisneyPhotoPass.com).

The blurb off the back of the pass-

1) Use this pass to get lots of photos taken by Disney Photographers in all four of our theme parks.

2) Go to www.DisneyPhotoPass.com (http://www.DisneyPhotoPass.com) and enter the unique I.D. number below.

3) View and email your photos for no charge and purchase your favorite prints.


I think the prints start at $9.95, not sure what postage costs.

It won't let you right click to save the photos, but I did manage to use prt sc button, then pasted into image software. Not tried printing them out yet, but doubt quality is that good.
Whenever we went to each park, I'd just give my pass to the photographer and he'd scan it and take our photo :Photo:

Just found the official press release-

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- With more than 600 million pictures taken at Walt Disney World Resort every year, it seems as though guests to the Vacation Kingdom enjoy capturing the memory of their vacations as much as they enjoy experiencing them.

Disney's PhotoPass, which debuted in all four Walt Disney World theme parks on Dec. 1, 2004, presents guests with an alternative way to capture treasured moments.

Using professional digital SLR equipment, photographers take photos of guests throughout the theme parks. Instead of receiving a paper claim ticket, guests receive a Disney PhotoPass that links all of their vacation photos together into one online account for easy online viewing and sharing. Guests can use one PhotoPass for their entire vacation or get a new PhotoPass each time they take a photo.

Then, instead of having to wait in line at a Photo Center for their photos, guests will be able to view, share and order their photos online at DisneyPhotoPass.com (http://www.disneyphotopass.com/). Although Disney's PhotoPass replaces the existing photo system at Walt Disney World Resort, guests will still be able to view and buy their vacation photos at Disney Photo Centers located throughout property.

"We are always looking for ways to make our guest experience easier and more hassle-free," said Michael Colglazer, vice president, Disney Photo Imaging. "Disney's PhotoPass is a way of doing that. We think that Disney's PhotoPass will do for photography what Disney's FASTPASS has done for wait times at attractions -- drastically reduce or, in some cases, eliminate the lines while making the overall vacation experience more enjoyable."

At DisneyPhotoPass.com, guests can also add decorative borders and other Disney-themed elements to their pictures. There is no charge for obtaining a PhotoPass or viewing or sharing your photos online. The cost of ordering prints from DisneyPhotoPass.com will be similar to the cost of buying the same photo at a Disney Photo Center.

Enhancements are planned for early 2005: Disney's PhotoPass photographers will be available at more locations around Walt Disney World Resort -- at Downtown Disney and some Walt Disney World hotels as well as inside the four theme parks -- and users of Disney's PhotoPass will be able to create photo scrapbooks, photo-slide-show DVDs and other special mementos.

Guests will be able to add Disney characters and other creative elements to their scrapbooks and DVDs, and they also will be able to upload their own vacation photos to their PhotoPass account and use them in their scrapbooks and on vacation DVDs.

I kept the leaflet we got on the PhotoPass when we checked in. I'll try to scan & post a copy ASAP. We didn't use it but it sounds like a cool idea.

Let me check my purse! I think I have one from Tony's still :unsure:

[PaulaK]

The one's from Tony's aren't Photopasses. They were the type that only last a few days and can't be viewed online. :(
