Hello Bonnie! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Mom´s Panel.
Disney´s PhotoPass + is a great deal for a unique service, even more so with the Pre-Arrival Package.
Guests receive unlimited digital photos from PhotoPass photographers at all parks and some resorts (during specific dates), unlimited digital photos at select attractions, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and The Pirates League, plus digital and print packages at select Character Dining experiences. Make sure to also take advantage of the Magical Shots, were guest pose and PhotoPass photographers add some Disney Magic to the photo.
I already planed my family´s 2013 Walt Disney World vacation and faced that same question on the process. To be sure I called (407) 560-4300 and a Disney Cast Member confirmed that the
PhotoPass + Pre-Arrival Offer does not have a date restriction for its use, only on the process of claiming and purchasing photos - 30 days from date photos were taken and 30 days from date they were claimed, respectively.
Knowing this we decided to buy Disney´s PhotoPass + Pre-Arrival Package months before our vacation, just in case the offer ends - I do not know when this offer will end.
Get as creative and "Goofy" as you can to make the most of this great Disney service.
Happy to help you plan a magical Disney vacation.
Miguel
