Hi! We made a trip to WDW in May 2009 ... we bought the photo pass and I had a GREAT time scrapping those photos ... still not done yet. lol

Here are my layouts ... if the search will show up (search: Sharon Kay, disney, member galleries) ... most are 12x12" ... I made 12x12" calendar pages, scrapbook pages, and even my laptop skin ...

Ok just so you know: It will take hours and hours and hours and days and hours ... did I mention days in there? to add all the different borders to each and every one of those photos ... you can also save the photos in different sizes. Pay attention to what size you save the photo as when you edit it (I saved them in multiple sizes, keeping the original unedited photos and saving an additional image when adding borders).

You will be amazed at how FREAKING SLOW Disney's Photo Pass website is (and have been told it has been that way for years) ... my sister went earlier this year and asked me to edit her photos and the website is still as slow as it was a year ago.

My kids are teenagers and didn't know if we would ever get back there again so I splurged and bought the Photo Pass ... I am so glad I did. I loved the photos they took on Mother's Day at Magic Kingdom. ...one nice thing is the PhotoPass gets your entire family in front of the camera at once. lol

Something I didn't do but wish I had was have the photographer take one pic with the family ... then one with each of the boys separately.

FYI (unless it has changed) the only ride that is available on the PhotoPass is at Epcot called Test Track ... you scan your photopass card under the "screen" when you unboard the ride. ...and it has it's own frame you can add to those pics when you get online to edit them.

FYI ... I would advise if you can check your photopass photographs each night or the next morning before you go to the next park. Reason: if a special effect (i.e. Tinkerbell in your hands or Stitch is not coming out of the street) is missing, you can walk into the next park the next day and go into the Kodak place and they will call for you and ask the special effects to get added (this is faster than a long wait time on hold when you get home).

I would also recommend buying a lanyard ... there is a special photopass plastic holder that you can buy to attach to the lanyard ... that was soooooooooo handy ... because you want to keep your photopass out and ready to hand the photographer rather than digging in your purse every time. I actually bought one of the plastic photopass holders and attached it to MY camera strap.

Also the photopass photographers will take a picture with your camera as well ... and I always had them take one on my camera. ...but you won't get the special effects on your photos.

Grab the brass ring ... I love my photos! ...and looking at my gallery I realize I have a ton more photopass photos I need to be scrapping!
