But too much attention seeking could turn people off, especially in such controlled environments.

No, thats just how Nikon's corporate logo is.

Nikon has a few official varieties of their logo for different circumstances. The signs are using one of these official variants. The photo of the sign in front Splash Mountain also shows a variant that is just the logotype without the background.
I cannot recall off hand. The ones on here with the red Kodak logotype do not look too bad too me,

Shutter limit on a D90 is around 500K actuations, Disney may actually be stuck with the D90's because of the photo upload system they use which is tied to the camera's firmware. Nikon does a miserable job of remote control systems.
I have D2's and D3's and they use mutually incompatible WiFi remote control systems, (this is full remote control focusing image capture etc not just a shutter release)
Nikon does a really great job of lens/accessory compatibility - a really poor job on software compatibility.

Truuuue. However the D7000/7100 uses a very similar system as the d90, I would THINK it wouldn't be a hard upgrade to do....but I am assuming that unless they NEED to, they wont. The D90 was their best selling model for a LONG time, for good reason. The WiFi Module that nikon uses now is overpriced and PAINFULLY slow. I am unsure how the one thats built into the D5300 performs, but I can't imagine it being much better.

Back in 2005 or so when they were using the Kodak/Nikon hybrids The camera was made by Kodak using a Nikon body for the mechanics and a Kodak produced digital back. They had one based on the D90 and one on the F5

Spitballing a wish here that I know will never come true:
The New Nikon DF body shape is more complimentary to the way the photopass CMs dress. Sad that the camera (being full frame) would require a COMPLETE overhaul on gear (new bodies, new lenses), as well as new training for the different style of shooting, so I know this would never happen.

The firmware in the 7x00 series is based on the Dx00 firmware, The D90 was the feature model but the system kind of dead ended at the D90 due to sensor and processor changes.
Wifi on Nikon Pro this is the one you need for a D3 - It's actually pretty fast

They had the KoNikons for a while back in 2004-2006 as I recall, The KoNikons were in use up to a couple years ago in SSE for the blue-screen pictures.
I remember them because I had one at the time...

The early disc cameras were a semi disaster for Kodak - one of many that caused quite a lot of people to swear off the company for everything except film. They would work a couple of years then the built-in, non-replaceable batteries would die. Customers would take them to the camera store to get a battery only to find the camera had to be sent out for repair at a higher cost than many new 35mm cameras. We sold a lot of Nikon/Canon/Olympus cameras then, thanks to Kodak

Nope. I thought so too, but they also replaced the camera, making it an SLR-profile from the point-and-shoot profile.

To bad I never really user the picture spots, I just snap photos wherever, whenever.

I have something similar sitting in my closet. Saved it from the trash.

Highly doubtful. New lenses alone would cost too much, but not to mention...honestly..they don't NEED to. The crop sensors serve their purpose here, mass producing "vacation" photos that the average person wouldn't think are any less quality due to the size of the sensor. I would be more inclined to assume a (very) slow shift to a newer crop body.

Unlikely and there's no need. Its very simple point and shoot photography. You dont need high end for this. Midrange (which is what the D90 was) will be the way to go. Considering the D610 (Lowest Full Frame Camera) goes for $2000 & the D7100 goes for $1200, pretty clear how this will work out.
Photopass's biggest problem is composition & creativity. The few talented photographers (there are some) that they have are limited by the rules by what they can do. Considering that the rules were created by non-photo or creative people, you can assume that like anywhere else in disney, if you try to be creative... you'll get in trouble.
Anyways, Ive heard rumors of new cameras coming, way before the Nikon deal was announced.
