there is a place in EPCOT that you can put them on pics, though you can always head to Walgreens just outside the park on 192. I always take my laptop and download them into the computer to keep space on my camera!
we take about 2 gb of memory between the members of my party... personally, I take just under a half gig.
And you can burn onto a CD at WDW... but I wouldn't recommend it. It takes half a day to do and costs around $12. Walgreens just off property in Lake Buena Vista does it in under an hour for less than $5.

YES!
New at the Magic Kingdom in Exposition Hall is one of those Kodak photo kiosks that allows you to burn to CD the contents of a memory card. The price i was quoted was around $13.00 and you can DIY.
If you try it at epcot, they have to send it to a lab and you must leave your memory card there with them and as Rob says, its takes 1/2 a day to do.
All in all it is cheaper/easier to bring lost of memory with you as most of us download our take nightly or during the midday, although ive shot a gig in 1 day at normal jpg resolution.

My last trip brought in about 2.6 gigs worth of pics.
Also, Remember to take Batteries!!! If your cam uses regular AA batteries, consider getting a set of rechargables, or just bring extra with you. They will wack you at the park if you need to buy any.
My Sony has its own battery packs that last for about 200 minutes each, when I go into the parks I usually take 4-6 of them with me, and then mass charge them at night with a couple of dual chargers.

Beat me to the punch. Batteries Batteries Batteries. Was at the Dayton Air Show this year (great show, anniv. of flight, Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, and Canadian Snow Birds all flew routines) and had to get some batteries. 8 AA's cost me $40 for a little souvenir stand (actually cost my father-in-law).
3 sets of rechargable AAA's... and a charger in case they don't last. Generally, I've been able to get a full days use out of them without a need for recharging.
I might have to add a newer Sony Clie to the arsenal as well... makes for a good device to chimp photos on

That's good info, Dave! I usually take three 256mb flash cards with me and shoot at 1024x768 resolution, superfine compression, which gives me about 1400+ pictures. $13 doesn't sound outrageous to me if you need more space in a pinch.
I carry a battery charger with me that I can plug into any wall socket anywhere. I have a charger in the car too.
Thanks!:wave:

Yeah, its pretty new at the MK. I almost used it last tuesday after i was out of space. Instead, i wasted 2 hours going back to the hotel room. Lost a lot of good light and picture time. On the other hand, i found time to shave and take a quick shower while it downloaded. Thirteen bucks would have been worth 2 hours of my time.
And just cuz its on my mind.... I recommend that anyone bringing tripods into the park put them in a locker or have them held at guest relations until you need them. Its just, well, easier than lugging them around. You dont want to needlessly weight yourself down.

Yeah, I personally bring my laptop with me and just put all the pics on there at the end of the day. It's quite useful, indeed!
I guess I'll get a couple 256mb chips and spend the $13 if I run out of memory.

While i dont wanna spend the $13 bucks either, when you have to wait for busses to get back to the resort, etc, you start taking into account exactly how much your time is worth..... IN an ideal world, taking the time to download is of course worth it, but when youre in a rush and running out of daylight.....

Heading for the great escape.
Having "lost" some images last year, this year i intend to take the compact digital for snaps and shoot proper stuff on film. Ill get it burned to CD when I get back.
Unless some one knows where I can rent a D1H or D100. (Free kit no more Dave, but much better money):animwink:

I use (and highly reccomend) the X-Drive Image Tank
http://the-discount-shop.com/default.php?cPath=74_29
With USB2 Connectivity, and a slot of any kind of digital media you have, a laptop hard drive inside allowing for as much storage as you want, and an internal rechargable battery that will last about 2 hours of image copying, it is a great solution.
I reccomend buying the unit that comes with no drive (http://the-discount-shop.com/product_info.php?cPath=74_29&products_id=72) and throwing in any laptop HD you have around, or picking one up cheaply on ebay.
