Everything You Wanted to know about Disney’s PhotoPass Service

Thursday, July 19, 2012 Mike 6 Comments

One of the things that people seem to continually ask about on the Facebook Group “You Might Be a Disney Addict” is to ask about Disney’s Photopass service, the ins and outs of it, and whether it is worth it. Since my family has ordered the Photopass CD the last two years, I told Chip that I would write about it when he asked if anyone would cover it.

First, a little background. Most of you have probably seen the Disney PhotoPass Photographers throughout the parks, and have probably even had your picture taken with them. Those PhotoPass photographers have special technology with their cameras, and they are able to submit the photos they take to special cards. These cards, known as the PhotoPass cards, have a special code on them that you will need to have in order to access your photos.

Disney Worldwide Publishing has hit a home run for small families that have young Princesses! This app is based on the Disney Junior show “Minnie‘s Bow-Toons“, and has quite a bit going for it. For starters, when you load the app, there are three different options for you to choose from. They are Story, Bow Maker, and Big Bow Show, as you can see here.

Disney/Pixar Brave for Wii Video Game Review

Saturday, June 30, 2012 Mike 5 Comments

Disney/Pixar have really struck it big with this movie, that’s for sure! First Brave opens to astronomical figures when it opened, and now they’ve got Brave for the Wii Gaming System ready for you to take on all the challenges that Merida faced during the movie!

In Brave for the Wii, you are Merida, and you are searching for the secrets to transform your Mum from the Queen Bear back to just the Queen! The game opens with your Mum already transformed into the bear — if you haven’t seen the movie yet, I apologize for revealing that — and you are chasing through the forest as you search for special clues to help you get rid of the Blight caused by Mor’du!

Along the way, you’ll have challenges to overcome, whether they be in the form of wolves and other creatures that would tear you up, or trying to solve puzzles with the help of your brothers — who are also bears, you might remember — as you and they solve which order to proceed to make an action take place.
