A report on TouringPlans.com has been posted that a new, enhanced
"PhotoPass+" service will debut at Walt Disney World this Wednesday, April
4th. Guests can purchase the
new package at any theme park, resort and even at Downtown Disney for $199.95. This new package will provide guests access
to high quality digital photos taken in-park by the
PhotoPass
photographers. In addition to the photos
themselves, guests will receive:
- PhotoPass+ Card and Lanyard
- Disney Gallery CD with over 400 Stock Photos for their personal use
- Personal DisneyPhotoPass.com Code for their own PhotoPass Photo
- On-ride photos, from locations which currently include:
o Buzz
Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
o Dinosaur
o Expedition
Everest
o Rock
'n' Roller Coaster
o Space
Mountain
o Splash
Mountain
o Twilight
Zone Tower of Terror
- Select Photo Print Packages at participating dining locations, which include:
o 1900
Park Fare
o Akershus
o Cinderella's
Royal Table
o Hoop-Dee-Doo
Musical Revue
o 'Ohana
o Spirit
of Aloha Dinner Show
o Tusker
House
Since this is still a brand new package yet to be rolled
out, there are details that remain to be announced – things like how premium
dining locations that already provide a photo package with the meal (Akershus
Royal Banquet Hall and Cinderella’s Royal Table) will mesh with the current
pricing structure, among others. But looking
at the prices for a la carte character meal photo packages and on-ride photos,
if a guest typically buys several of the existing photo packages during their
Walt Disney World vacation, this enhanced PhotoPass package could save a good
deal of money. If a guest typically does not buy the photos, this deal might
just be enough to get them to make that leap since all in-park photos would be
included. Normally we skip the in-park
photos and dining location photos, but depending on how it actually plays out,
we will probably give it a look on our next WDW vacation.
Since this has only been on unofficial sites such as Touring
Plans.com and MousePlanet.com so far, watch for actual details from official sources
at Disney very soon.
