What is Disney’s PhotoPass+
When I go to Disney World I am always taking photos. The problem is I am in very few to none of the photos when I get home. Also I am carrying around my camera bag, lenses, tripod, and all sorts of extras because I want really great photos of my family at Disney World.
I still bring my camera, a smaller point and shoot, but for photos of the family I tried PhotoPass and PhotoPass Plus on my last two trips to Disney. Ok, it’s not cheap, well, it’s a great deal cheaper than the $100 I just paid for a single photo on a cruise I took, but it is well worth your money if you use it correctly.
I will go over the advantages and disadvantages to PhotoPass and PhotoPass+ in this article.
What Is PhotoPass and PhotoPass+?
Disney PhotoPass Photographers are positioned throughout the Disney Theme Parks to capture your most magical moments.
How to save money with PhotoPass+
When you purchase Disney PhotoPass+, you get all the photos you want taken up to a 14 day vacation. You can also say $50 Bucks by purchasing PhotoPass+ at least 14 days Prior to your vacation. When you buy PhotoPass+ from your travel agent at least 14 days before you check in at Disney World, you pay only $149 instead of $199.95. These prices are without tax.
With The Disney PhotoPass+, you get the following goodies:
• Unlimited Disney PhotoPass photos in your account
• Photos you customized with fun Disney borders in a Disney’s PhotoCD
• Photos from select dining locations (THIS MAKES PHOTOPASS+ A GREAT DEAL)
• Photos from select attractions (THIS IS A BIG BENEFIT!)
• Photos from other Disney experiences (VERY NICE)
(Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique*, Pirates League*, Storytime with Belle, Jedi Training Academy)
• Disney PhotoPass+ card
Of Course some of these experiences require an extra fee to participate in.
How does PhotoPass+ work?
Photos are taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers. They are all over the parks and in resort. PhotoPass+ provides the perfect way for you to capture your vacation memories with great photos and with everyone in the shot!
• Disney PhotoPass+ card. The special Disney PhotoPass+ card and lanyard means your card is always handy and the Photographers will recognize you as having purchased Disney PhotoPass+.
• Photos from select dining locations and attractions. With Attraction photos costing $14.95 each + tax and Dining photos costing $29.95 each + tax, the value of Disney PhotoPass+ is quickly apparent
I would purchase PhotoPass+ for my family on a multi-day vacation for the best value, not a short weekend get away.
PhotoPass+ is perfect for when you are at Disney World with family and friends. This way you can plan dining reservations that include extra photos, and get the photos you never want to pay for at the end of Splash Mountain while everyone else tries to take a photo on their cellphone as they walk buy.
To save almost $50.00 on your PhotoPass+, be sure to add it to your Disney vacation package prior to your vacation.
