Anyone else not use Photopass?

[mouseketeer mom]

I don't know if its just us or what, but our family has never taken a good picture using photopass. We stopped using it on our last trip. My pics always turn out really good compared to the photopass photogs..and thats interesting because I certainly don't have any special picture taking talent!

1) We do not us it.
2) If we want that particular view, we give them our camera.
3) The CM will snap the picture using your camera for free.

I used it last year and loved it. I found it well worth the money, and also thought that each picture they took turned out to be just as good and often times better than what I could have taken.
We will going back down next month and I plan to use the Photopass again.

We've only once bought a photo taken by photopass. I tend to take tons of pictures, and my pictures are usually better than the ones taken by photopass as well. I have looked at our photos online, but never end up buying them.

We usually do both. We take a lot of our own pics, but we also like to get some of the photopass pics as well. Of course we always get the free one from the Disney Visa at Epcot. I especially like some of the other products at the photopass site, especially the Memory Book.

I usually find my photos are as good or better than the Photopass photographers with one exception: the castle shots at MK.

The Photopass photographers in front of the castle are patient, wait for a good shot (everybody smiling, looking at the camera), and always know exactly the right place to stand.

Those photos are well worth the money.

We only used it once when my niece was here visiting and she wanted one taken in front of the castle.

We've used it a few times. When we took my niece with us we used it alot. I wanted lots of pics of the 3 of us. We bought the CD then.

[Natazu]

If we go for more than a week, we buy the CD. It's nice for borders and special stuff. When we're on site for short trips, we just have them use our camera for group shots.

Also, in '07, we were there for a three week visit. After we got home, there was a hard drive mishap. The only pics we have left now are the ones on the Photopass CD.

We use it and look at them online, rarely buy them but sometimes they are just too good to pass up.

[Pirate Granny]

We no longer bring a camera to the park and only use the photopass...we've been so many times that we just purchase a few and add the border w/year.

We did purchase the CD when we did the Magical Gathering in November. It was well worth the $$$ to have all of us together...we did take our camera then too though...and some of our pictures were just a good, but alas, always had someone not in the picture (as they were taking the picture)...

I have never used it before. I think I get a free one with my "buy 4 get 3 free" offer. Have to check on that. If so, I might get one by my beloved Giant Golf Ball. ^_^

[kathiep]

We always get the pictures taken. Bt the only time we ordered one was when a free print came with our package. I usually have my camera and take the same shot they do and they come out just as good. Except - I'm never in any pictures

[big blue and hairy]

We do both also. We figure, why not? We don't have to buy the pictures, and now that you buy them online instead of stopping on the way out of the park, it's a fun thing to look at after we get home. We've bought a few but the majority just fade away...

[dumbo_buddy]

we'll use it if we remember. on our january trip i actually bought 2 pics because they were very good (and i looked skinny! LOL). on our september trip however we took the pics but when we looked online they weren't good.

it doesn't hurt to take the pics. and if you like em, buy them. but the pics are pretty expensive.

[goofiecrazy]

Whats the price for the park photo they take of u at the front of the park as u walk in.The last time we were there i think i paid like 14 bucks for it. Would like i idea when we head down again this summer.

[Ropachs]

We were disappointed with PP on our last trip. We didn't seem to find any photographers except for the "big" locations, like the castle, etc. For our week trip, we have about 20 photos - and they weren't very good! We did much better on our own. I only wound up ordering one because it had a special effect added which looked really neat. I won't even bother next trip though.

[PrettyMinnie]

We used the photopass on our last trip and some pictures turned out decent and others were blurry. However, the effects they use are nice but not worth it.

We bought the CD when we were there for our honeymoon. I wouldn't have bothered with it, but it was hubby's first trip, and he wanted it so we got it. Some of the positions the photographers put us in were really cheesy, and I didn't like how a majority of them came out.

[IloveDisney71]

We usually get a few pictures taken by the photopass photographers and I've bought about 5 or 6 pictures through the years but I take most of our vacation pictures myself. I've often found that the photopass pictures aren't any better than mine. Most of the pictures we've bought through the photopass site have been of our whole group or of my DH and I when we went without the kids. I would never buy the pre-paid cd because we don't take that many pictures. I like to be able to come home and buy one or two but that's it.
