This has nothing to do with anything, nothing like this is in the worls (to my knowledge) I'm just curious...
So I'm sure most if not all of us have taken advantage of PhotoPass since its inception and perused pictures taken of us and for us during our vacations once we got home. Maybe you've purchased, maybe you haven't. Of course, the ticking time clock that signals the moment Disney dumps your photos forever forces some people to make decisions faster than they might want, whether it's "I can't afford these photos but if I don't get them now they'll be gone forever" or "aw, why did I let those pictures go, now they're gone forever!"
What if they didn't have to be gone forever? What if you could pay an extra fee (yay! More extra fees for Disney!) that would keep the photos available on PhotoPass longer? Or indefinitely? What if 40 years from now, when your dear Aunt Gladys goes to the great beyond, you decide that a nice gift for your cousins will be that picture from Splash Mountain where she's giggling and holding Raymond's eyes shut so he can't see the drop?
What if Disney offered an individual "family" archive that could hold, say, 500 pictures? And you could rotate pictures in and out of that archive, OR start a new archive if need be?
You'd get a bill annually. To keep the pictures on file, do nothing, and they'll keep charging the account on file (better keep those credit card renewals up to date, though). And you can cancel any time you want, though of course, when you doooooooo, those pics can't be retrieved once the renewal year expires?
Would you want something like that? And what would you pay?
