    Nope. They have a team of seasonal cast that start around Sept and work through Feb and that is their job. Decorate the World. They maintain the decorations as well. So everynight they repair and replace anything that needs it.

    There is nothing gradual about WDW decorating for a holiday. One day it will be Halloween, the next its Christmas. BAM, just like that. This year, the Christmas decorations all over Disney property will go up on 7 Nov. There is no in between. As for campers decorating, depends on how long their stay is, but most keep their Halloween decorations up until their vacation is over. So they could see some still up. Others may follow suit and decorate for Christmas at that time but most will honor Thanksgiving as a holiday and decorate for that.

    My DW is strongly against this. She says she has been going to the parks since she was little and Mickey never talked before. Why start now. I on the other hand love the idea. Not for the whole Mickey is talking side, but the technology behind the whole thing. The MBs are not set up for the identifying the wearer, yet. But that is not too far off.

    That's great. Its not very often we send someone away without finding their photos.

    As I said, if the photographer took them, they are in the system and will be found. We tag every photo taken with location, subject, date, time, photographer, and then the photopass card number/MB when it is scanned. This gives us the ability to search for and find any photo given a number of criteria. The problem comes in when a photographer is stopped either on their way to a location or on their way off stage. They may not change the data before taking the photo and the photo is tagged as their last location. This normally doesn't pose a problem if everything works, but if the photos do n

    Of course, that doesn't mean you will get what you want. You may have to change the FP+ to another attraction all together. Depends on what is still available when you go to change it.

    I have seen cars parked in the 1500 loop both in empty sites and in the grass by the tether ball thing almost every weekend. I don't know why security doesn't do anything about it. I parked along the road for 5 mins to visit fiends one GG and had a maint guy and security harass me till I moved. And I am a guest staying here, not some freeloading local using the pool.

    As long as the FP+ was not used or tried to be used, you can change the time. Even after the window has passed. So if you miss your FP+ time, Log into the app and change the time to a later time. But if you missed your time and tried to redeem it, youre SOL. It counts it as used and you can no longer change it.

    The only facial recognition is the photopass person looking. The photo is so the CM can verify they have the correct photos. I search for photos all of the time and I just look for the person standing in front me in the photos. We become very good at facial recognition. The searches are performed by a human being one photo at a time. It can be very time consuming if there are allot of photos so the more info you provide, the better. It starts with a broad search. "Ok, Im looking for a little girl dressed as Rapunzel meeting Mickey around 3:00 on Monday." We then scan the photos till we f

    If you are missing photopass photos, call the customer service number or use the link on the website. If you know where they were taken and what day and aprox time, they can be found. If it was taken, it is in the system. It usually is a quick easy process to find them. If you notice they are missing while still at the parks, we can search for them at our view centers and add them to your card. https://mydisneyphotopass.disney.go.com/help-and-support/lost-media

    Well, rest assured CMs are prohibited from giving anything to anyone other than water. So if your children are lost and end up with a CM (and 99% sure they will be found by a CM first) they will not be given any food or drink. For that reason.

    You can upgrade the military salute tickets, BUT, you get face value for them and the expiration date of the new AP would be the first day you used the military salute tickets. So, you would be better off just getting the AP to start. Less hassel. I would say get the AP. You have 3 trips planned for the year. Buying tickets each time will rack up a nice cost. This way, you can come and go as you please and don't have the guilt feeling if you only spend a few hours in the park.

    Use a straw (like what comes on the WD40 cans) and open the zipper just enough to get that in. Then spray.

    As for phone numbers for missing children or bands.....if a child or missing band is found, CMs have a way to access the information on the account (names, address, phone numbers, etc) and can make a call. Its a simple swipe of the band and the info comes up on the ipad they use. Only CMs have this program. This way, your phone number is not out there for anyone to have. Children should be taught a safety meeting location and to look for CMs if they ever get lost. This way they do not approach a stranger and make the situation worse. Allergy info is a good idea but if there is a life threate

    The MBs are water proof.

    "All the Castmembers in the Ireland booth were American, though. I am not sure how this works. In the France booth, those CM's are definitely French. In the Italy booth, the same. But, then you come to a booth like Ireland, and it's all American kids on the college program. The China booth seems to be staffed with Chinese people, but the Korean booth is college kids again. Anyone know why?" A country with a permanent presence in World Showcase uses their international CMs to man the F&W booths. If there isn't a permanent presence they use standard run of the mill CMs.

    Yall can guess away. I just cant leak the info yet. I remember those tests. If it all works out, the photo will be added without any extra step on the guests part. Photo is taken and band scanned all in one moment. When you check your account, the photos will be there. You can then decide to buy them or not. Pretty amazing technology.

    It's not that hard to figure out what was originally said.

    It will come to the point where you can add the ride photos and purchase them just like any other photopass photo. And I will say this, it will be the last time you purchase PP+.
  24. devores
    Ride photos can not be added to your MB at this time. They still must be added to your PP+ card.

    Im on my third magic band shipment now and every time, I get the e-mail after I have the bands in my hands. If they do not arrive before you leave, they will ship them to your resort and you will get them when you check in. If you did not customize before you leave, you get the standard grey bands with no name on them.
