Photopass with reopening

[SOCALMouseMommy]

I know Space Mountain does, too. I can't think of any others off the top of my head.

Hmmmm I am hoping yo convince my son to ride Splash for the first time when we go and I’d love that photo but $20

Did we get Photopass for free?

We went to Disneyland on 5/18 and linked two photos to the app, one from Space Mountain and one from Splash Mountain. Today we saw a button that said "activate" in the Photopass area of the app, and we activated. We saw zero info about a payment but we were able to download the two photos in high quality.

We are familiar with ordering food from the app and I see the emails showing how much each order cost. I did not get any emails regarding the two photos I downloaded. Our credit card account doesn't show any additional charges pending. I searched through my emails and original Disneyland ticket purchase, and there was nothing related to Photopass. I doubt I would have added it when I purchased the tickets.

Is this some kind of free surprise or something they are testing out? I could find no information online about being able to download your photos for free.

When I bought the one day photopass option, it was obvious what I was doing, and it went thru iTunes which meant the payment was what was already set up in iTunes.

Yeah, it's a weird situation. It was a green "activate" button but we never paid for Photopass. I was worried that by clicking it, we would be charged, but we haven't been.

I'm pretty familiar with the app as we made 4 mobile food orders yesterday and each one sent me an email confirmation right away and the credit card statement reflects each charge accurately. For the tickets themselves, I was charged $336 for 2 adult tickets and 1 child ticket, so I don't see how Photopass could be hiding in there.

We did buy Photopass once in 2018 and we bought MaxPass once in 2019, and I still have those emails. Maybe it's a glitch in the system and it was always flagged on my account as having a Photopass activation.

The last explanation I can think of is that when we bought Photopass in 2018, we were charged twice and got a refund on the mistake charge. Is it possible they never took the Photopass package off after they refunded us?

I saw a few photo pass people, but not many, and when we wanted a photo, no one was around. Does anyone have tips?

We were there May 2 and 3. There were a several in DL, less in DCA. One of the photographers in SW:GE blended right in with the other CMs. The only reason I realized he was a photographer was he was standing still, had a camera, and I saw sitting 20' away just looking around and so had time to observe. If it's an iconic photo spot, chances are there good there will be a photographer there.

Thanks I'll look closer for them next time we're in a photo spot
