Awesome review!

Do you know if you can link multiple receipts when you buy the card?

I have guests coming to my wedding that will all be going on different days and wanted to link their photos all onto my account so hopefully you can!

We used this recently and found it excellent. A good description from the OP here. We collected various bits of card with barcodes on from photographers and took them to the Photo shop just inside the entrance and they put them on our account so I would have thought that your friends can add to your account in this way. It only lasts for 5 days though unless you have an Annual Pass as discussed above. If you want it for longer it might be cost-effective to buy one Annual Pass?

One word of warning is that when you download the photos from the website they are small files. The photos I take with my own camera are anywhere between 2Mb and about 3.5Mb. The ones from PhotoConnect are around 500-600k at the most. These would still blow up to a decent size but it may be useful to know in advance.

This may work if the pictures are taken by one of the photographers around the park as they hand you a slip with a bar code on it that then can be added to any photo connect card at the photo centre or any of the ride photo centres, But it's not going to work with ride photos as the photo connect card itself needs to be presented, You are able to link more than one photo connect card to one account if you want all the pictures from different parties in one place

Sorry to sound a bit dim but are the photos available to be printed off or do you have to order the prints seperately. I have read that they are available for "a limited time" on your account. What happens at the end of your limited time? We have had the Disney one before where you get all the images on a CD to keep.

The photos are yours to download from the online account you create, Once they are on your pc the choice is yours, you can print them out or create a photo cd or whatever.

The limited time thing is pretty much in line with Disney's photopass , They only let you have access to your pictures for 30 days unless you pay to extend it

Thanks for the review. Excellent information

Thanks for this.

I'm sure I have read somewhere that if you purchase the Photo Connect Star Package, it does include Forbidden Journey? Not sure about RRR though.

I have also read that you have to choose borders, magic shots etc at a booth in the park and can't do this at home - is that still the case?

I think it is cheaper to pre-purchase online. Will need to do more research!
