Disney's PhotoPass Review

    This is strictly my opinion about the Photo Pass options. I will not be going into every single detail about the packages and all that. If you want all of the logistics, here is the website.

http://www.disneyphotopass.com/

    Disney's Photopass is a photo system that you use throughout the parks. You are given a card from the Photopass photographer.



  The photographer scans this card after every picture that they take. This is only used with characters and the iconic photos in front of the castle.... You do not have to use the card, the photographers will still use your personal camera.

  There are also things called magic photos, which incorporates a character into the photos.

  This is my photo with Tinkerbell. The photographer poses you and you see the final outcome on the computer. 

   Once you get home, you register on the Photopass website to see your photos. They also add extra ones in there of the characters by themselves. A big issue with the website is that your photos only stay on the website for a limited amount of time. Once that time is up, your photos are gone. 

     Now, my big issue and the reason why I will never by my professional photos are the prices. For a photo cd of all of your pictures, it costs $169.95!!!  Not going to happen, when the photographers will use my own camera to take the pictures. 

     The picture above, I print screened on my computer. Doing this, means that my photos will come out a little blurry and smaller than if I bought the real picture. I am aware that it is essentially cheating, but I am not paying an insane amount of money to buy my photos. I meet all of the princesses and the photos taken with my camera came out the exact same ways as they did on PhotoPass. 

     The pictures are beautiful and the extra characters are awesome, but not worth so much money. I will stick to printing my own pictures at home. 

Below are comparisons between my photos and a PhotoPass photo.

Above: This is the PhotoPass picture. Remember, I took this from print screen so it is blurrier than it would be. But still, the same picture.
