Worried that you won't find a passerby to take your picture in front of Cinderella's Castle, or that at least one person from your party won't be in the picture?
Never fear, Disney's PhotoPass is here!
This is a fantastic service that Disney offers. All over the parks, you will find photographers waiting to take your family pictures and capture those magical moments for you. Once you enter the parks (or sometimes even outside the front gates), you will see photographers in khaki shorts and vests that have the Disney PhotoPass logo on it. Ask them to take your picture and once they have done so, they will give you a Disney PhotoPass card that they have scanned with your photos. Hold on to that card. You will give it to the PhotoPass photographers each time they take your photo!
One important tip I tell all my friends is to take a picture of the back of the card (where your card number is) either with your phone or your own camera. You can also write down the number and put it somewhere safe. The reason for this...if you lose that card and don't have the number, your pictures are LOST (you can fill out a lost card form online, but it is no guarantee that they will be able to find your photos)! However, if you lose your card, but have done what I suggested....HAKUNA MATATA! No worries, once you decide to look up your photos, you will have the number!
Another important thing to note is that you can have more than one card. On past trips of ours, we have separated to do different rides and I have had the card, so my husband has gotten another card for those pictures he got while away from me! At the end of your trip, you can enter multiple card numbers to look up all your photos.
Not sure where you would find these photographers? Here is the section where you can look at maps to find out where the photographers typically are!
Now, you can view and purchase your souvenir pics either at the parks, or you can wait until you return and order them online! You can choose what works best for you.
There is no initial cost for this service. If you don't like any of the pictures (that would be rare, the photographers are fantastic), or you choose not to order any, there is no obligation to buy!
Now, my final tip about PhotoPass is the option to pre-purchase a CD with your digital photos that the photographers take. You "pre-purchase" the CD prior to you leaving for your vacation. They don't actually send you a CD, but rather a special promo code to enter when you actually input your PhotoPass card numbers upon arrival back home. By doing this you save a huge chunk of change. We did this on our last trip there and when we returned entered all the cards we accumulated among the 5 families and purchased our CD. It was fantastic. Now we have a CD with all of our photos that we can print and share at our leisure (if you don't purchase the CD, you don't have the copyrights to share or print your pictures and they only save them on their site for 30 days from the date you enter your PhotoPass card numbers). For more information, click here for the option to pre-purchase your Disney PhotoPass CD!
For more fun and options, you can also visit the Disney PhotoPass website to purchase photo cards (ie, holiday cards), mousepads, or even leather bound photo albums. We chose the pre-purchase CD with photo book option and made a beautiful photo album once we returned. It is leather bound and is engraved with our name at the bottom. You have lots of layouts to choose from depending on the look you want to achieve or the number of photos you want to incorporate. You can also add text to remember those special moments!
So....don't forget your camera for those other candid park moments, but if you do, never fret, Disney PhotoPass is there to help you out!
