Places to develop digital photos

[jtoms3]

Does anyone know the locations (if any) where one can develop digital photos while at WDW?

According to Allearsnet there is developing available at Epcot at Spaceship Earth. I know there is a camera place in MK just as you come into the park on your right. I don't remember if they have developing but I do know you can download you pics onto a CD so you can clear you disk. The machine is kinda slow tho. You can also buy more memory cards for your camera so when you forget to clear yours and it's full and your at MNSSHP and you need pictures they are available. They are a lot more expensive but luckily my husband didn't ask. I think he knew better. LOL

If you have a car you can go to Walmart or Walgreens and have them done.

The only place I know of inside WDW property to get prints made (by "develop" I assume you mean paper prints) is the Kodak ImageWorks in the Imagination pavilion at Epcot. I don't know what the cost is per print, but believe me, it will be far, far cheaper to wait until you get home to get your pics printed.

But let me give yo a little advice - most people who ask this question intend to have their pics printed, then deleted from their memory cards so they can take more pics. THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE! Never delete your digital files! They are your negatives - keep them forever! On your computer and/or on CD or DVD, those files will last just about forever, while the paper prints can be lost, bend, ripped, burned, stained, or other wise damaged far too easily. And most digital photo prints may say "archival," but in truth they will last maybe 5 years before they start to fade from light or humidity or the acidic paper in some photo albums.

If you only want to print them so you can view them while on vacation, take your camera's cables with you and hook it to your resort TV to look the pics over. But don't delete them! In fact, don't even delete the bad ones to make more room on your memory cards - deleting individual pics increases the liklihood of a card failing, which would cause you to lose lots of pics.

Another piece of advice - don't take a few huge memory cards to WDW. Instead, buy a bunch of smaller cards and change cards every morning. Don't keep more than one day of pics on any single card, and put the full cards in your hotel safe (don't carry them around in your camera bag). This way, yoor pics will be safe even if you lose your camera or bag, or it gets stolen, or if your camera malfunctions and wipes the card in it or it goes for a swim on POTC, the most you can ever lose if one day of pics.
