Mix your own Disney Vacation Photo Books and DVDs

Chris Barry has posted a review of the PhotoPass service and his unexpected encounter with the MoviePass service. The PhotoPass service allows you to keep track of every time a Disney photographer takes your picture without having to manage those little white cards they give or go back to the designated photo location to purchase them. Instead, they supply you with a credit card that the photographers scan each time they take your picture. After you get home, you can review them online at DisneyPhotoPass.com and order those you want. This all sounds similar to when I take the kids to JC Pennys to get their holiday photos taken.

When Chris went to log in after his recent trip, he found the option for MoviePass. Here he could upload photos as well as use those that Disney photographers had taken to mix together a nice DVD that he could order. I won’t go into detail as Chris does a very good job with screenshots and descriptions.

Unfortunately, MoviePass is not available again until 2007 – must have been a trial thing. However, it sounds like they’ve updated PhotoPass so you can upload your own pictures and use those from the photographers to mix your own photo book – very iPhoto ish. I’m excited to try it out as my trip is only 3 days away! If anyone else has experience with either services, I’d love to hear about it.

    [...] Use the PhotoPass cards: I posted about PhotoPass previously and it’s a great idea. Any Disney photographer can give you a PhotoPass card and any photographer can scan you card when they take you picture. It’s great at character meet ups and photo spots. If you see a photographer, ask him to take your photo. It doesn’t cost you anything and you can purchase them online for a reasonable price when you get home. I take decent snapshots – I’m a self proclaimed snapshotographer – but the Disney photographers are very good. [...]
