Kari,
Yes, there has been some confusion out there. And with PhotoPass+ being new, there might be more of that as they tweak the program during its infancy. But here are the basics, as I understand them;
If you have a standard PhotoPass, no, you cannot officially add pictures from your character dining experiences to your account. Whether the packages are paid for, or part of the meal cost, they are a separate program.
HOWEVER for many of these dining experiences you now CAN add them to your PhotoPass account, if you have upgraded to the new PhotoPass+ program. But for which meals can you do this? At this time it would work for;
- 1900 Park Fare
- 'Ohana (breakfast)
- Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show
- Chef Mickey's
- Cinderella's Royal Table
- Tusker House
- Hoop Dee Doo Review
- Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
You can only sign up right now for PhotoPass+ in the parks, but you can add the "+" upgrade to a pre-ordered PhotoPass, if you have one of those.
Does that help clear it up?
Have a magical vacation!
