You've got several different issues going here and you're a little confused. 1) PhotoPass photos expire 45 days after they are snapped, unless you pay $20 for a one-time 15-day extension. Memory Maker does not change the expiration date, it only allows you to download your photos. The only way...

Can't remember off-hand where I heard this (it was either from a CM or from one of Disney's online FAQs), but MyDisneyExperience limits each person to ten active MagicBands at any given time. You can have more than ten total, but only ten can be active.

I've been expecting Disney to sell lanyard fobs or other RFID devices as an alternative to MagicBands, from the very beginning. I'm actually a little surprised that we haven't seen them as yet. I'd expect that besides the lanyard fobs, Disney might also market cell phone cases with the RFID...

I had an AP on my last trip, and several times CMs gave me the Passholder discount before I said anything, because they noticed the Passholder slider on my MagicBand. In those cases, they also didn't ask for the Passholder ID. I think I only showed the Passholder ID three or four times, when I...

Whatever they end up calling it, I hope they open a restaurant in it called Jim's Mario's. Seltzer water!

This is sort of correct. Regular PhotoPass photos expire 45 days after they are shot (unless you buy a one-time extension). Memory Maker gives you a 30-day window to download all of the photos in your PhotoPass account. But those windows are not tied together; if you start downloading as soon...

Along with the tinfoil hat crowd, there are some who can't stand to wear anything on their wrists. Some already wear a watch and don't want to wear anything else. Still others don't like the feel of the TPU material and say it causes them to sweat. I'm almostone of them. I hate wearing...

I agree completely. The system should allow you to make FP selections for the length of your stay at a WDW resort, limited by the number of days of ticket you have. I.E., if you are staying 17 days but have a 14 day ticket, you should be able to make FP selections for any 14 days within your 17...

Your MagicBands are active NOW. They go active as soon as they're added to your MyDisneyExperience account. You can log in and see them now (never hurts to double-check that they're all assigned to the correct people). So, if you want to go to the parks on your check-in day before the official...

That all depends on the boy! But I tend to think that the Poly's pool will definitely impress kids more than the WL. WL has a great pool, no doubt, but I think Poly's is greater. The monorail is the big selling point of Poly. With a 4yo, you'll be spending a lot of time at MK, and being just a...

FP kiosks can ONLY make 4th FP selections for the park they're in; if you want a 4th FP in another park, you have to hop to the destination park first, and only then can you make your 4th FP.

You do not need to buy MagicBands for everyone if you don't want to. You can get away without any MagicBands, if you so choose, or just one. The ride photos are the only portion of the Memory Maker product that won't work without a MagicBand. All other PhotoPass photos can be linked to your...

Something a lot of people do to save for a WDW trip is to purchase Disney Gift Cards periodically. Some stores offer them for reward points, and you can also get them at a 5% discount ($150 for $143) at Sam's Club. I just buy them at face value, as they help me to store my Disney money in a...

I was there that week. I found that I had no choice but to take a mid-day break every day, go back to my room, nap, shower, and recharge. I was hitting rope drop most days and exhausted by 12:00. When I spoke to friends on the phone that week (I have several who are also WDW fanatics), I found...

You can call and ask, but prepare yourself for disappointment. You've got two separate expiration periods to deal with: 1) PhotoPass photos expire after 45 days, unless you purchase a one-time 15-day extension, which you must do BEFORE they expire. Your photos have expired already, so they'd...

It's cheaper. Out of curiosity, I used Google Maps to follow SR429 from the Turnpike to Western Way, and saw only a single toll plaza with a $1.50 toll, at Mile 17. The only other toll plaza I saw was at Mile 7, which is past Western Way, before SR429 hits US192. There are tolls at many of the...

I checked into the SunPass last year and found that it just didn't make financial sense. It saves very little time at a toll plaza - generally no more than a few seconds - costs extra, and can't be moved from vehicle to vehicle. If you're only in Orlando once or twice a year, it's a better...

I like to pack a roll of quarters in my carry-on and keep it in my rental car's center console throughout my trip, to cover any tolls I might encounter. Having quarters is convenient when there are automated exact-change lanes at the toll plaza. Usually I only need them for the tolls to and from...

Been there, done that, probably going back. But I do have sympathy for some of those folks when I, a 25-year WDW veteran, moderator on two WDW message boards, can't get a res to 'Ohana (at 180 days) or get my rotating 4th FP at the kiosks (darn thing just wouldn't give me the option, it just...

A) Fix the poll to add a NO option. 2) Batman didn't say that quote. The murdering psychotic Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker, said it. And if you want to use HIM as a roll model for Disney to follow, well, there's something wrong there. D) HECK NO.
