Photo Pass on a Disney Cruise? About This Page:

[Bethann]

We are going to WDW for several days before our cruise.... We are planing on buying the photopass prepaid to save a little money. I was wondering if we bring our card we get in the parks, can they add the pictures to it, or do they have a totally seperate system on the cruises?

As far as I know for now, they have a separate vendor, therefore a totally separate system.

Photopass is not used on the Disney cruises. The use a different vendor and print the pics after they are taken. You then browse through all the prints in Shutters to find yours. The photo packages can get a little expensive as you are paying for a certain number of prints in certain sizes depending on the package you choose. I think our package was apprx $150 for 5 8x10s and 8 6x8s. Your cruise pics cannot be added to your photopass either.

We were onbaord in November and they were just introducing their new photo system. For the staged pictures, ie, the character poses, the photographer scans your key to the world card. There are kiosks near Shutters where you can preview your pictures and pick your own borders and such. The downside is that you still can't change the size of the picture so if they shot it as a 8X10 then it prints out as a 8X10. All the pictures that were shot during the cruise were still put on display in Shutters but I imagine that someday, they will print out less photos. The photos that they take at your table, on the beach, etc are not available to view on the kiosk because they aren't able to scan your card.

I wish they'd introduce Photopass on the cruises, but I can see why they wouldn't, as their current system must be a very good earner for them.

Thanks so much for all the information... I too, wish they would use the photopass system.... I really like it and it is a good deal .... which is nice in this economy .....
