Photopass and Disney Photobook ??s

[This Dixie Pixie]

When does the 30 day clock start on your photopass account? It's 30 days after you enter your card number to look at your photos for the first time, right?

I'm thinking of pre-ordering the CD. We're going to be another 3 weeks before we get home from Disney, so I don't want to order the CD and then have the photos expire mere days after I get home!

And the photo book -- what do digi scrappers think of the photo book? We can make much more elaborate pages and not be limited to the number of photos. However, if I pre-order the book, it's only $50. At Shutterfly a similar book is $75. Is a few clusters of flowers and a few extra photos on a couple pages worth $25?
