My camera will hold about 1000 pics but I have filled that up in a few days before. Is there a place to dump your memory card off onto a cd while at Disney. If so where, how much, and how convinent is it?

Do you have a laptop you can bring with you? I think that's the easiestoption. Or, just get more memory cards. They're dirt cheap these days.

I've read in the past about people getting CD's burned but I don't know if that's still offered or what the options/pricing would be.

I second just getting a couple more memory cards. You can get an 8Gig SD card for under $20.

Personally, I have both extra memory cards, and I bring my netbook to copy photos onto as a backup.

No laptop but I guess to make life easier I will just pick up a new memory card before we go. Still got plenty of time.

Pick up another card. A 16 gb will go far.

I do believe that Photopass will upload your pics so you can request a burnt cd of them afterwards. Something like 19.99 for the cd burning. This CD is different than the normal Photopass cd and would only include the pics that you upload, and not the ones that they take. According to stichkingdom.com,

Uploading Your Own Photos at the Parks

With the Express Upload Service, you can visit one of the Disney's PhotoPass centers and have photos from your own camera uploaded directly into the Disney's PhotoPass system. You will be given a Disney's PhotoPass card which is linked to your uploaded photos, which you must claim within 30 days of uploading, after which photos will be stored online for 30 days. Note that this service officially requires purchase of the Disney's PhotoPass Personal Archive CD.

Now no one really knows what quality the pictures get uploaded at, or how robust the upload really is. I'm sure we have all heard stories on how some or all of our Photopass pictures got lost so I don't know if I would trust my only copy of my pictures to an unknown service. As PP's have said, buy another memory card. It's really no different than buying additional film.

Definitely grab extra cards, that's the easiest. Here's an 8GB for $5 -- it's only class 4 but if you keep your eyes open you can find faster ones for around the same price. Amazon had a class 10 for $10 yesterday.
