Hi gang, Just thought I'd share a note to let you know that my family often would go to Disney and get the photopass photographers to take our snaps. We'd get home and balk at the $12+ price to order one 5x7. ; This time around, we decided we were going to purchase the CD - get all our photopass pictures on a CD for one price, then we can pick and choose how many and what size to print off. If you order the CD, it costs $124.95 USD. If you pre-order the CD, they send you a code you use for actually placing the order after you return - the pre-order saves you money. That costs $99.95 USD. We pre-ordered. ; Took advantage of it big time. One huge plus - right now (at least in September) they are giving those that pre-order the CD a free sitting with a professional photographer at the Grand Floridian. ; (If you just book, it costs $49.95 for the sitting fee.) ; We booked an appointment and had a photographer snap about 45 photos of the family at various spots around GF. ; They're great - and one will be our new family portrait. (I'd paid for a sitting with a local photographer here - paid $90 for the sitting fee, and hated the photos.) We just received our CDs now with all 400 + of our photos (there were 2 CDs - we had about 300 photos taken - that includes BBB, and after we paid for the photos at Chef Mickeys and Cinderella's castle, we could load those photos on too). ; We increased our photos (from 300 to 400) by editing, cropping, adding various borders, etc. when we got home. ; They put both the original and the edited version on the CD.

Just thought I'd mention that I'm going to use one of our Grand Floridian photos as our Christmas card - since I have the CD, I can use the photos as I wish. ;
Yup - all of them. ; The only exceptions are event photos where you have to purchase them separately (e.g., Chef Mickey's breakfast, and Cinderella's Royal Table). ; But, having purchased those, you can take the photo itself to a photopass desk (e.g., like the one at Grand Floridian) and they'll add those photos to the photopass as well.
