Four years ago, Disney revamped it’s photography service in the parks. They migrated to a more user friendly system called Photopass which allows the photographers in all the parks to take your pictures in all the great spots and then they get automatically uploaded to a dedicated account tied to a Photopass card.

This service allows you to take advantage of the Disney Photographers and not have to run back at a certain time at the main gate like in years past. Instead, you can now at your leisure log into the Photopass website and pick and choose the photos you wish to buy, make your own souvenirs, and upload your own photos to the account and share them with others.

The last interesting thing about this service is that Disney allows you to actually purchase the photos taken in digital format rather than just prints or projects. For a small fee, you may download individual shots or pay for a photoCD of all the pictures at a reasonable flat fee.

One thing to remember is that any pictures taken or uploaded to the Disney Photopass website are only available for 60 days or so after your vacation is completed. So, make sure to view your photos and make any purchases within that time period.

Your Photopass card does not expire after your trip is complete. Once your card is registered on the website, keep that card in a safe place and use it the next time you visit Walt Disney World.
