I just have to suggest to all of you who are going with just your family, that you USE THE HECK out of the Photopass photographers! We just made our only trip out of 5 without taking one of the kids aunts or uncles along to help out, so there was no one with us to take family photos of all of us! I decided to use photopass and knew that it was going to cost me 80+ dollars to buy the cd (I like to print my own photos for my scrapbooks) so I thought it was best to fill it up! Over five days, we stopped all the time for photopass people to take our pic and ended up with over 100 pics on the card - that is worth the money! So if your going, plan on the bucks for the cd and FILL IT UP!

I agree! we did the same thing and got plenty of pics of the family. We new we would be getting one at the beginning of our trip so we sought the photographers out.

I agree--it was the bargain of our trip last November to get 95 photos on a CD for $59. Some of the pictures the DL photographers took were better than mine and some weren't, but they got some great angles and multiple takes. I sought out every photographer we saw, and one even followed us from the Hub to take pics of my girls doing the Nestle cookie demo. A bargain and so much fun!

I also agree. There were 5 of us for 7 days and we took over 170 pictures between us. I ended up paying double the cost of the CD though because I bought the CD in the park.
Then turned around and looked at the pictures online when I got home, added tons of borders to them, which ended up giving me 600 pictures for 127.00 for the CD. Would I do it again? You bet, but I would pre-pay for the CD online BEFORE I went, then got as many pictures done as possible, go home, add the borders and then get the CD.

My 13 y.o. DS would DIE if I had us stop all the time to take pics :p. It is the biggest inconvenience to him to stop for a picture. While we were at WDW last year I was trying to get a pic of all the cousins in front of the Epcot ball. He would not come over for it. You can hear me getting really upset at him on the video. Then when he did come over, he hid behind the other kids. I would love all those pics, but, phew, we couldn't do it. Be greatful for cooperative kids, and husbands ;).

I hear you. My kids just tolerated it. They were like... Mom, do we need to do this again? And I was like, yep. It usually didn't take more than a couple of minutes to do it, so they were ok with it. In most of my pictures, my son is barely smiling AND he was usually looking another direction. But I still have a lot of great memories.

in August we got 113 photos for our 5 days there and only used them "a little" more then we usually would. this trip we plan to use the photopass ALL the time. I plan to stop every chance we get because it really was an awesome deal. One of the pictures was such a keeper that I would have paid for the $20 8x10, so paying a little more to get the entire CD was soooo worth it. Love this system they are doing.

So where do you prepay for the CD? I think this is a really good idea for DH and I. Since its just us, we don't have anyone to take our picture. So I think that is a good idea, and reasonably priced too.
