Hi, Carrie! Thanks for visiting us again here on the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
My family always pre-orders Disney's PhotoPass Photo CD (using the pre-arrival discounted offer) because it's a really great value for us. We end up with loads of photos on our CD of our family at character dining locations and character meet-and-greets as well as in front of park icons and in Magic Shots!
I would recommend purchasing the
Disney PhotoPass+ pre-arrival special offer package rather than buying individual prints - and here's why:
Using the pre-arrival discounted offer, the PhotoPass+ package would cost you $149. After you return home and receive your CD, you can choose which photos you'd like to have printed. You'll be able to get quality prints for a very reasonable price at your local Costco or Target (or other warehouse/discount department store).
If, however, you were to order prints from the PhotoPass website, the cost would be $14.95 for either two 4" x 6" OR two 5" x 7" prints. One 8" x 10" print is $16.95 and one 16" x 20" print is $24.95. Photo downloads are $14.95 each. This is fine if you're just interested in ordering a few prints, but if you're like me, you'll have many keepsake photos on your CD that you'll want to print - to display in your home, use in a vacation scrapbook, give as gifts to family and friends, or even make into holiday cards!
Wishing you a
magical vacation, Carrie! Please don't hesitate to send me any other questions before your April trip. I'm here to help!
