When you first get your picture taken you will be given a card from the photographer. Each time you get your picture taken by Disney staff you will be asked for this card. It saves going and waiting for photos at the end of a busy day. We usually go to the photo place in Downtown Disney, give them the card and they will bring all your pictures on screen for you to view and pick. You are not committed to buy anything.

If you end up with two or more cards, water park ones are on wristbands for example, then you can also get all the pictures consolidated onto one card at any of the photo centres in the parks or Downtown Disney.
If you don't purchase any pictures while in Florida then you log onto the photopass site when you return home to view them for 30 days.
If you like any then you can buy them and get them shipped, a package is normally the best value. There are numerous options as you'd expect from Disney.
We found the best value was to get the card loaded with as many photos as possible and then order the CD which includes *all* the photos from the UK.
You can also add the Disney borders on the website to any of the pictures.
Once you have the CD you can then print any of them yourself.
A handy tip is to take a picture of the back of it with your own camera so if you lose the photopass they can recover the photos from the number at any photo centre and issue a new card.
We used them a couple of years ago. We got the photos rinted off at down town, by the time they had added boarders and tinkerbell and sparkels they looked really good.
how much do the photos cost, and how much does the CD cost?
And stop shouting!

It will depend on the photo size and/or package you purchase.
The CD is $130 which means you do really need to get it loaded up to make it worthwhile.
The good thing is that you can add one of a selection of the same borders that you can in the shops when online.
If you do then you get the original and the enhanced version on the CD.
So if you had 200 and added borders you'd get 400 in total.
We bought it when it was $2 to the pound so it wasn't too bad, that price in GBP has gone up as the rate has decreased so you'd need to make the call.
If you go the CD route then decide early in your trip on and hit every photo opportunity you see.
It is nice to look at them back home (and show parents etc) but we have never bought them. Didn't know about the borders etc so can you add those on before you order the CD if you're ordering online from UK. The photographers are not backwards in coming forwards to take your photo[msnwink]
Yes, you add the borders online at the photopass website before ordering. We did it from the UK when we'd returned so we could have a proper go at it.
If there is an event on like the Food and Wine Festival then those borders are available if you were in EPCOT for example.
There are also options related to the picture, so if you have a photo with Belle then you can add a border with her autograph.
Another good thing is you can post a link to the pics to your family back home. I've just sat looking through my sisters who is there at the moment.[msnsmile2]
