PhotoPass-Making Memories Last a Lifetime

If you've been following my blog for say, more than a week, you'll know that we love to take photos while on vacation. We come home with literally thousands and I know we aren't the only family to do so. The one thing we don't do on vacation is have our photo's taken by Disney's PhotoPass photographers. Shocked right?  We try! We know the benefits and think it's a great service but we always seem to forget to stop and get our photo's taken. That's why today I wanted to talk about the benefits of Photopass Plus so you don't miss out like we do!

First of all let's talk about what PhotoPass is!  Photopass is a FREE service provided by Disney for any guests entering the parks. All over the parks (and water parks) you'll find Disney Cast Members in khaki vests with cameras. They are positioned near major park icons, character meals and other fun locations with great backdrops!

If you are staying onsite you'll simply use your Magic Band each time you see a photopass photographer!  When you get home you'll simply log in to your My Disney Experience account and click on photopass. You'll be able to view everything plus purchase photoas and other products.

If you are staying off-site, for the forseeable future you'll still receive a Photopass card.Don't worry if end if with multiple cards (we always do). You can combine them all later!

So basically as you explore the parks, anytime you see one of these photographers, you can stop, take your picture and be on your way!  When you get home you'll head to either your My Disney Experienace account OR http://www.disneyphotopass.com/ (and enter your card(s) number). Voila there are all your pictures!!

Now comes the tricky part...while the services are FREE, the pictures are not.  The great thing is you'll have plenty of options of fun products to put your pictures on. PLUS you'll have lots of fun stock photos to choose from AND you can upload all your own photos.

If you want to plan ahead,  you have two options.
