Hi,
Were off next Friday for a week to DLP, just wondering if the photopass plus is running? I saw it was going to be august time but can't find much info on it
Thanks
The service is not available yet. It has been delayed once again! They have a Photopass Download card available at select spots, which is given to you with the purchase of a photo. To add photos to the card you pay 4 euro for each photo and you get a digital file as well apart from the printed one. Really not worth it! They should have already introduced the Photopass+, with the amount of people visiting in the park during the summer they would have earned a lot of money!
It's predicted to take at least another month until it's introduced!
You can already add this on to your package direct with Disney for 33 pounds. At the moment it can only be added for trips 6th october till 31st december. I will be phoning to add mine this week :D

Is this PhotoPass+? And how do you know? And is this via phone?
what is the difference between photopass and photopass+ ?
Can I still get pictures printed from the photopass directly in the parc?
PhotoPass is the original service, you get given a card that Meet 'n' Greet photos are put onto and you purchase them at a point of sales place to take home with you. This includes photographers and ride photos.
PhotoPass is still in operation.
PhotoPass+ is basically the digital version of that but it's simpler. You purchase a kit which contains a lanyard a card and 2 other cards, which I presume are for in case you separate and want to add a photo to your account, and the main card comes with an ID Number, the last digits need to be scratched off. You create an account of PhotoPass+, via a website or app, and add the ID Number into your account, I presume more than one account can connect to one ID Number, and that's you ready! All you need to do is give your card to either a Photographer, at a Ride Photo Desk or a Meet 'n' Greet Photographer and they will scan your barcode on the card and voila! Them photo(s) are on your account!
Now here is some IMPORTANT INFORMATION
THE CARD REMAINS ACTIVATED UNTIL 10 DAYS AFTER ACTIVATION
PHOTOS REMAIN ON YOUR ACCOUNT UNTIL 1 YEAR AFTER DATE OF PICTURE TAKE, WHAT YOU DO BETWEEN THEN IS UPTO YOU
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD YOUR PHOTOS, SHARE THEM VIA SOCIAL NETWORKS AND PURCHASE PRINTS OR OTHER DECORATIONS ON THE APP OR WEBSITE
AROUND 30 PHOTOGRAPHERS ROAM THE PARKS EACH DAY ACCORDING TO DISNEYLAND PARIS'S TWITTER PAGE
ANY RIDE PHOTOS CAN BE ADDED BY SCANNING THE QR CODE, THE SCANNER IS A FEATURE IN THE APP
ANYMORE INFORMATION WILL BE UPDATED HERE

Yes you can with either. But as said above photopass plus is not in operation yet.
Any ideas when its due to start? Disney brochure says august 2014 so it must have been delayed? Also, do you book it with disney before you go, or can you do it when you arrive? I plan on using this in Feb. Thanks
It's supposedly coming out in October, just in time for Halloween. Let's see...
I'm sure it will have been released by February, and according to the Photopass site you can pre-book it, not sure though if it can be done before its official launch.
I got a normal Photopass and on my last but one day I popped into one of the shops that you could get the photos from. There was a young couple by the counter and judging from what they were saying, they were having major problems with the new Photopass Plus system and they actually said they wished they'd got the normal Photopass, paid for the photos they wanted then scanned them in at home to email to other people. I guess it's just teething problems like many new things get.
Hi, has anyone else used photo pass plus yet? We are going for Half term and I'd like to get this but not sure where to buy it in advance. I have read on trip advisor that there have been cases of photos missing and other peoples pictures on there account. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks
I haven't used it, but was considering buying it when my family comes next month. However, I haven't seen any photographers aroung the park, except for those with Minnie, Jack Skellington, the princesses, etc. Not even for the Villains' meet n greet! I mean, why do I want to pay so much money if I won't even be able to get one single picture with the castle?
Ridiculous.
I really like that you can get ride photos with it though - I never buy pics from BTM etc, as it's just too much for a sinlge pic, but being able to add them to the pass, and purchase at home is fab!

That's what made me consider it. I still it's too expensive though. If the priced included printing the pictures, I might get it; if not, I think I'll pass.
If you're in the UK, and hace booked with DLP direct, it's only £33, that's only a couple of euros more than 2 ride photos. I suppose it depends how many characters you can catch - when we saw spidey last spring, the photographer took about 7 photos. all of which came out much better than mine, couldn't buy them all of course though, nice to know I'll have the freedom, and won't have to take printing costs out of my holiday money!
We are aiming to do as many charactor meet and greets as possible so it would save us money in the long run. I am just having problems buying it at the moment. ???
Did PhotoPass+ on SM M2, quite good.
There is a lock watermark when picture is obtained, you need to be on one of the Disney hotel's WiFi networks to remove it.
Just pre-ordered our Photopass Plus for £33.00, the lovely Disney lady seemed well clued up on it. So excited :)
I used photopass+ on our last trip,two weeks ago. It didn`t work reall ywell. The card wouldn`t let the photographer scan the pics. So I went to ask what was wrong (I did get a "normal" photopass from him). Finally after a lot of phonecalls from the lovley CM at the princess Pavillon, I was told, after we found out one of the little card worked, to use them and check everytime I had pictures made. So I decided to use the old photopass and have them transfer the pics on my card. It was pretty stressful. Not everey CM knows how to work with that.
And since there is no wifi in the park, I had to wait till we were back at the hotel to be able to check, if it all worked.
That dosent sound to good Aurora1. How did you get the pictures transfered to your photo pass from the original card option? Does sound like the best way to guarantee you dont loose pictures. I only purchased it as it works out so expensive to buy them when you have so many pictures to choose from. I would rather just save them when home.
Hi,
Does anyone know where to purchase photopass+ from once in the parks? I am eager to try it out so would like to purchase it on the first day of my trip so I can get as much use as possible out of it.
Thanks!

Back from our trip! PhotoPass+ was great got a lot of ride photos! And ones from Meet 'n' Greets like Spiderman and Meet Mickey Mouse. There was one issue, one photo was my last go on the Tower of Terror, I went on it 4 times during my trip! I went on Ratatouille: The Adventure 4 times as well! The lady at the desk zoomed in on me and my Uncle so it was just us, I watched it happen she scanned the card and it was on. When I connected to hotel wifi I noticed that picture was not how it was, the picture went down left a bit, I went to a shop in the Sequoia Lodge and showed the shop assistant, she sent a man over and me and him went to a computer with a monitor. He scanned the card I had and the picture was there and I pointed out where I was on the top right of the picture. He edited it and scanned the card. He completely cleared the screen and scanned the card and the picture he edited came up with the picture focused on me and my Uncle, but when I checked for the last few times on the hotel's wifi, the picture was how it was before the man fixed it. Even when I check now it's still the same. It is the only flaw during our trip to do with PhotoPass+. All the other photos turned out great! Fun times!

Thanks for the information DisneyManiac! Do you know if there is a limit on how many photos it stores? I hope you had a wonderful trip!
Stupid question. We pre booked our photo pass ready for trip. Is there a website I can pre register with before getting there as worried I wont be able to access them once we arrive? Can I get wifi in DLH room? Thanks

Yes there is a website, there is also and app for iOS and Android called Disney PhotoPass, you need to create an account and link it with your Card ID when you get the kit. There is WiFi in the Disneyland Hotel Rooms as far as I know.

Thank you justlikewedreamedit! As far as I know there isn't a limit, we got about just over 40 photos on ours which is made up of 2 Meet 'n' Greets and Attraction Photos.
Thanks DisneyManiac thats a great help. I have registered now :D
When you go on rides with photos, where do you scan your Photo Pass, is it before or after the ride? Sorry last question I promise :-[

You scan the QR Code after going on the ride, at the area where the ride photos are displayed. Or you can remember the Photo's ID Number and approach a cashier to give the number to them and scan it into onto a card, the one on the lanyard or 2 mini cards.
Thank you so much DisneyManiac :D
¨@julesk, sorry for not answering for so long! I had the photographer using a "normal photopass. Then at night I went to the hotel shop ( usually less or no people waiting for photos. Scan in the pass and transferring them on the photopass+. And with Wifi in the hotel I was able to check if it worked. Wich it did.
Maybe I got the "black sheep" the "one in a million" that didn`t work.
when I bought it, the salesclerk didn`t tell me that I had to download the app, she told me I didn`t need to do anything, just give it to the photographer.
And with no Wifi in the park, I couldn`t load it . So had to do it back at the hotel and with the help of a lovley CM at the SQL shop.
I still think it is worth it, I prbably would do it again. I`m prepared now!! :)

OoO Thanks so this info Aurora1! I was worried after reading the other night about pics not being included on some peoples fp+ so I might do that just get them to do it as normal and then add the photos later on! Thanks! xx
Going next week and I really want to try this out. Who do I need to ring to add this to our booking before we go to get if for £33?
Many thanks,
Alison
I called today to have this added to our booking and was told presales had been suspended, although I might be able to buy it in the park.
Thank you so much Aurora1. We are sat in DLH now and so far photo pass is working. But having your idea as a back up is great. Only issue so far is getting hold of a pass. Hotel had run out and went on a long mission to find one. CM look blankly when you ask them about it!!

Really? You staying in the DLH? The Cheyenne CMs knew about it and also the SL.
We love Cheyenne but have to admit we where soooo well treated by the DLH, would never stay anywhere else again. We just got home and can honestly say the Photo Pass worked perfectly, not a single lost photo inc rides. The only thing I would say though is, there isnt enough photograthers at the meet and greets. We meet Princess Tiana etc and there was no option to use the photo pass. Has made me excited to use the Pass in WDW next year, I have heard there are options to use the Pass everywhere. Highly recommend anyone worried about spending out on it to use it. ;D
Be carefull, apperently you can reserve this a long time before you actually go, and I would do it if you can.
We were there 3 days now for Halloween, wanted to get it SOLD OUT!
I was stuck with 13 photo-cards, which on the 3rd day someone in a shop said we could have all the pictures transferred onto the photo pass plus.
They have to be in stock to be able to do that obviously -_-
The only way we could keep our pictures was to pay a ridiculous amount of money for 1 picture (or 3 for a certain amount), and I say "a ridiculous amount of money" if you compare the price of 3 pics, with the price of the photo pass plus ;)
Or, the other option was, they putted all our pictures onto 1 card, go online to a website, and if we wanna keep our pictures more then a week, pay 4,99 € for every single picture (so that later on, they could put it on a photo pass plus anyways).
But in the end we had about 70 pictures, so yeah ... try and reserve a pass on the website before you go, the CM told us if you do, you should get one (unless you reserve only like, 2-3 days in advance).
We're going in December.
Phoned last week to enquire about adding Photopass+ to our booking, and were told it can't be pre-ordered anymore and has to be bought at the resort :(
Ugh ... well, the CM giving us the information about the pass, didn't quite seem to know what on earth he was talking about anyways *sigh*
Maybe someone with a good source can confirm if it can be pre-ordered or not.
We where lucky enough to pre-book but the Hotels had run out. There is a shop in the park where all the staf are clued up and seem to have stock if no one else does. If you head stright to the park and go to Floras Boutique (as you enter, its before you walk down main street on the right hand side) Guessing thats the best chance. If you also Google the name, its shows you where its located.

That's the shop I was talking about, completely sold out, don't know when they would come back in stock.
The CM in the DHL shop sended us to that shop.
Wow, thank god I've pre booked for when we get there on the 17th. Looks like they have under estimated how popular it was going to be.
It must be a tiny blip. It's not really something you can sell out of... its just a card. I think this weekend hit them a little harder than expected and by next week it'll all be normal again.
Yeah.
And I don't think anyone expected photographers by the characters on Main Street during the Soirée either, and there were, so for most people that was a huge add-on on their picture-counter.
Ooooh I just stumbled accross this post in time for my trip in March. I remember when it was first discussed thinking it sounded a little technical for me but for £33 it might be worth a go. The only thing Im worried about is being able to use an app abroad, I have never taken my propper phone with me before, just a cheap pay as you go because I have been scarred silly by all of the stories you read about people taking their phones out of the country and being charged 100s and 100s of pounds!!
I hoep I can get to grips withthe whole thing because it sounds like a good idea to me, we always buy loads of photos of meet and greets and rides...
I have another question.
Can you add photopass to your booking in advance? And if yes, do you get it with your park tickets etc when you check into the hotel? Or do you have to pick it up in the park at New Century Notions like you would if you bought it on the day itself?
You can add it on if you have booked direct with disney for £33. Then when you check in you get a voucher to go and collect it. You can get it from any photo shop or hotel shop.
We used this in October last year and I was really disappointed, there were no photographers on Main Street at all and hardly any of the character meets had the photographers with them. May be because I'm used to Orlando where you can't sneeze without hitting a photographer but I was really disappointed.
I think that in that case I will just see how many photographers are out first, because I'd hate to spend quite a bit of money only to get 2 or 3 photos in total.
Thanks for letting me know! :)
Went to add it onto our booking today but disney said it can only added once there :)

That really doesn't work since on one day you can have 10 photographers and the next day you can have 2.
But you don't have to worry at all.
I've purchased the PP+ twice now.
The first time I ended up with 229 photos in 5 days!
The second time I ended up with 118 photos in 3 days!
And during my second purchase I only did 2 rides on my entire trip.
So 116 photos were from character meet 'n greets.
Even if you would only meet 1 character you would still end up with at least 5/6 photos.
Which already makes it the PP+ cheaper than buying the photos.
With the PP+ the photographer takes a lot of photos.
Of the interaction between you and the character, hugs, giggles, autograph signing, a pose...whatever you want.
And you can do one with just you, one with the other people in your party, the other people in your party single..whatever combination you want.
If it would really be worst case scenario (and this will not happen, but let's for argument sake say it does) you will meet 1 character that has a photographer, and you do no rides that offer on-ride photos...you will still have a better deal buying the PP+ than just one single photo. Trust me, it's definitely worth it.
After 2 purchases, and 8 days in total of using it, I now have 350 photos. It's worth it!
In theory that's true, but I'm not the kind of person that wants to buy literally every photo that a park photographer has taken. I like to go see the photos, but unless it's one I really like, I don't spend money on it.
I'm also not that much of a character hunter, so yeah.

Do you like rides?
Because the PP+ is only for character meets and rides that have on-ride photos.
You can't use the PP+ anywhere else.
I do, obviously :) (else I wouldn't go ^^)
The thing is, I think it's cool you can have your on-ride photo added, for me that would be a nice bonus, but I'm not particularly fussed about them. It's not something my husband and I spend money on so yeah.
I do get your point, but seeing how few photos I generally buy (if any at all, last time I bought one was in 2011 I think) I'm not sure it's worth it for me personally at full price.
Of course I may still change my mind, so I'll just wait 'till the day itself and the program is out (it'll also depend on how many characters on there I want to meet) ^^

Each to their own, but I disagree.
I've been going to DLP since the opening, I've been 60 times now.
And after nearly 23 years and 60 visits I've never bought a ride photo or a character photo. Not once.
But still I ended up with so many photos during both visits. It's worth it, even if you normally don't purchase photos.
I didn't even use it with "regular meets", only with the special characters that were out for Halloween and Christmas.
Merida, Rapunzel, Marie, Jack Skellington, Anna/Elsa...you get the point.
Well like you said, to each their own :)
The thing is, I think Photopass is a great thing in itself, I just think that € 50ish is a bit steep for me personally if I don't have the idea I'll be able to use it for, in my mind, quite a significant amount of shots that I'd like to actually own.
Everyone does things their own way, and that's totally fine, agree to disagree and all that jazz ^^
But I figure that if seeing I don't spend money on something usually, I'm not going to miss out by not spending money on a different formula of the same thing now either.
But like I said, if I see the program listing a whole bunch of characters I'd like to get a picture with I may still change my mind :)
Especially considering how easy it is to buy one in the park :)
You clearly seem against it, but yet asking if you can add it to your booking, that's a bit odd, haha, don't mean to sound mean about it ;)
(or I'm getting it wrong, that's an option too, lol)
If you wanna buy 1 picture it's already 15 €.
Other thing you can do is, take your picture whereever you want, you'll get a photo card anyways, and if there are many, you can have those cards transferred onto the pp+ on a later time at the park.
I've never bought a ride photo because they're usually really FUGLY. And there's not that many rides where they take your picture, to begin with.
Also, photographers take pictures with your camera too. Except for the Pavillion, where the light is horrible, I've never even considered buying a picture. In fact, I don't even go see them after the ride, because when I've done it, they looked terrible. Why the hell would I want to have a picture of me with my hair all over my face at BTM, or with the gun hiding my face at Buzz? I think DLP wants us to NOT buy photos, seeing how awful they tend to be.
I just saw last week a woman trying to return her PP+ because they'd had no picture taken. It was raining, so the characters left, and therefore they could've only used it for 1 ride photo (Buzz). And she's —ing right. Unless you're obsessed and ride Buzz, BTM, POTC and TOT a hundred times in a day, and love pictures of you looking bad, it's completely useless.
I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
We loved it, it meant that my daughter didnt just have to pick one photo from the pavillion, she could have them all. We have some amazing pics of me/husband/ daughter on big thunder mountain/potc to us part of the fun is laughing at how daft we look. We ended up with 50ish photos in five days and i wouldnt have been able to pay for all those, its cost about 50p per photo which i think is a bargain, but not everything suits everybody

I was actually quite tempted by the idea, 'till people pointed out it might be worth my money, which I found out AFTER I asked if I could add it onto my booking ;)
If someone had said there might not be enough photographers out to make it worth the cash first (of if I hadn't read that comment after my question in any case) I would have never have asked about whether or not it was possible to add it to my booking :)
@Esti: yikes, that would really suck. I hope she managed to sort something out. Do you know whether or not they gave her a refund?
I spoke to Debbie on live chat & she said it definitely CAN be added to your booking as it has been confirmed up to April 2016 (although stories can change from one CM to another!)
Just to let you know :)
I think it is a great idea and last week i managed to get 59 photos on mine and got some really nice photos of all the family with mickey,spiderman,pluto and goofy which as my kids don't live with me all the time was really important to me,as well as some great candid shots on the rides when none of us knew where the cameras were,the big plus for me though is i can get copies for them to take home and for grandparents etc whereas i would of had to pay a lot if i had to buy them all there.
Hi
I rang dlp last weekend to add a character breakfast and photo pass+. Had no trouble at all,it cost £33 which I think is a steal! Not sure why their brochure has no price maybe its so it can change based on popularity. It will be my first time using it so any tips would be appreciated. Also has anyone used one when your phone and tablet isn't compatible with the app? I'm assuming that if I go online properly I can do it there? Am I right in thinking the app is used mainly to post pics to social networks? So can I use the pass straight away then register the card on the evening?HELP!!!
hi i didn't use the app last week i just created an account before i went on disneyphotopass.eu so i could view the photos each night with the hotels free wifi,i just handed the card over after each ride or to the character photographer and just checked in the evening they had been added which they had,once you have an account at disneyphotopass you just add the code from the back of the card and they are automatically added to your account there
Thank you Stecal,I was dreading losing our pics. Hope u had a great trip!
Hi yes i did thanks, i checked as i was worried after hearing people didn't have photos added to their card but i had no problems, we did end up with another couples photos at 1 character meet though but that was because the photographer thought we were all together for some reason,if or rather when i go again i would definitely use it again, my one small gripe is it would of been nice if there were photographers at the character meets when they started as some of the ones we queued up early for didn't have the photographers arrive until quite a while after and by then the queues were really long so i didn't want to waste time re queuing for the same characters but it wasn't a big problem as i had my own camera anyway.

I have no idea :( She was already talking to someone when I went to the store, and when I left she was still there, so I'm not very sure they wanted to give her a refund...
Can anyone tell me where I can buy the Photopass+ in Disney Studios? I'm only going for 1 day, so I can't book it in advance.
My friend booked it today through Thompsons and paid £24 .
Apparently the reason why I couldn't book it is because we used Thomas Cook. It can only be done through Thompson or disney direct .
We booked through Thomson and I just spoke to the Disney chat advisor who seemed to think unless it is booked directly with Disney you cant add Photo+ to the booking :(
Is that right?!

Can anyone tell me where I can buy the Photopass+ in Disney Studios? I'm only going for 1 day, so I can't book it in advance.
In the first store on your left hand side, right when you enter the park.
The "Walt Disney Studios Store".

My friend has booked through Thompson , they go this month and have added photo pass plus onto the booking . They paid £24 x
How are the digital files provided to you? And can you have them printed? The website is just not clear.
Also, do you have to buy in advance or can you decide at the end of the day and purchase then?
Hi your photos are stored on http://www.disneyphotopass.eu/ for a year and you can share them with family etc, i have downloaded mine to my computer so i have them forever and you can print them yourselves at home for free or use someone like photobox,snapfish etc but you are free to do what you want with the images for personal use,if you want you can order prints etc from that website but the prices are cheaper elsewhere or to print at home
I read online that there is a different Photo Pass +, especially for visitors with an annual pass. This different PP+ is valid for a whole year, instead of 10 days. Has anyone any additional information about this?
I have read that too. From may 4th there will be this photopass+ for those who have an annual passport.
Cost: 39,99 euro with Dream passport, 44,99 with Fantasy and Franciliene.
From may 4th till june 3rd there is a special discount of 10 euro (that means that the cost will be 29,99 with Dream and 34,99 with Fantasy and Franciliene).
It will be valid for 1 year.
Hi Uragano Tati,
thanks for the details. Our next trip starts May 4th so we will definitely be getting this! €29,99 is a bargain, compared to the "regular 10-day-PP+-"price!
If anyone needs the 50% off discount voucher still, pm me with your email address.
If it's the Thompson one, it has an expiration date, so have a look at that. (July 15th?)
And probably can't use both. Heard people using the voucher and tried to use their AP discount aswell, only 1 was possible.
Is there going to be any offers still on, we are going to be there in 4 weeks!

No offers at the moment, you will just have to pay full price.
But it's still a great value.
What is the full price bought on site? I'm a bit confused about all the different prices being mentioned on here!
49,99 € (without any discounts)

49,99 for the Photopass+ that is valid for 10 days.
44,99 for the Photopass+ that is valid for 1 year if you have the Fantasy Annuel Passport.
39,99 for the Photopass+ that is valid for 1 year if you have the Dream Annuel Passport.
Just bumping this up to say I added photo pass plus to our booking today for our visit in September for £33!! We booked direct with Disney.
I find it a bit strange that with the annual pass photopass you don't grt the lanyard, and just a card. You think it would be the other way round considering you'll have it for a whole year.
hi, according to the schedule you can only use your photo pass at 2/3 meet and greets, is this right? i know you can get on ride pics too. My Thompson rep says you can only add it when you are there. do you get one card and one lanyard? Thanks in advance.
No, the regular 10-day photo pass comes with 1 credit card size card including lanyard, and 2 smaller cards.
The AP photo pass only has 1 credit card size card.
During EMH there are photographers with all characters.
Once the park opens, not all announced meets that are on the flyer have them.
For example, meeting characters at Jungle Rhythems (near Hakuna Matata), sometimes there is a photographer, sometimes there isn't.

Only 3 of the meet & greets are guaranteed to have photographers, usually Princess Pavilion, Meet Mickey Mouse, and Spider-Man. But others may have them.
As you know, the PhotoPass is valid for on-ride photos. Ask the Cast Member at the desk to zoom the photo in if you like, particularly on The Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror and Pirates of the Caribbean.
great, thank you for your information, will definitely be buying one. Hoping Merida will have a photographer as shes only there 45mins a day!

She usually has a photographer, not all the time though.
And she's out longer than 45 minutes. The queue is only open for 45 minutes.
But everyone in that queue will still be able to meet her.
And she's also out in the afternoon between 4pm and 5.15pm.
Ok great. Any tips on when's best to queue? Hr before it opens?

Yup. Last time I started queuing at 10.45 (she was arriving half an hour later) and it was finally my turn at 12.30.
Thnx sorry it was off topic!

Other thing you can do is, take your picture whereever you want, you'll get a photo card anyways, and if there are many, you can have those cards transferred onto the pp+ on a later time at the park.
Sorry to hijack an old-ish thread, but could I please check that you can definitely do this? I'd really like to wait to see how many characters are out-and-about with photographers before booking as this is an extra expense, but don't want to lose out because we haven't bought in advance of meeting someone.
I've done that myself, so the info I'm giving is real :)
We managed to put about 11 photo cards onto a Photo Pass +
I don't think it's much extra, if you already buy 1 picture it's about 15 €.
If you buy the photo pass, we have over a 100 photo's from just 3 days already (and there's only 2 of us going each time).
Thanks, nathalie, that's really helpful. There's a lot of different information about the photopasses so I just wanted to make doubly sure :). Looks like we'll be doing this then!
