Where can you get digital prints made at WDW?

[**Tinker*Bell*7**]

Am staying on wdw property for my first solo trip & would like to have digital prints made to free up camera space. does anyone know if there is anywhere on property to do this? and if so, how much does it cost?

will be renting a car & going to ioa & us on the 3rd day of my trip so if it would require a trip off-property, this would be the day i would have to do so. where off property? and again price???

THANKS!!!

Hello ~

For prints, I suggest going to DTD and checking out 'The Art Of Disney', they have a great staff that handles photo processing and may be able to get your prints for you....if not, they'll guide you. The info is at the cashier, near the side entrance....

 

[**Tinker*Bell*7**]

Thanks! I'll check this out.

You're welcome!

Do you have a laptop you can take or borrow? That's how me and my hubby free out memory stick.

We stopped at MK at the kodak shop right inside the park. We had them put our digital pics on a CD ( we did not print them out until we got home)
They sent it out and we picked it up the next day. It cost a little over $6.

We did all of our digital camera pictures at Walgreens on 192(7767 W.Irlo Bronson Hwy-Kissimmee)----only couple of miles down road from Disney.
Transferred most to CD so we could freeup memory and print them when we got home-the cost was under $3 and it was quick! Approx. 1500 of the pics taken I had transferred to CD-saved a ton of money--the CD's turned out excellent and I am printing them whenever possible at photo lab close to our home.
Transferring to CD just saves $$ while on your holiday, so you don't have to worry about one more "hefty" expense on your holiday!
Prints cost $0.25 and if you had a coupon and a certain # of prints the price per print went down to I think $0.20.

Yeah, I say forget about printing them while you're at WDW, just get them transfered to a CD and get them printed later. My advice is always KEEP THE FILES! Printing your pics then deleting the files is like throwing your negatives in the trash can. Those files are precious; with the files you can get additional prints made later, email pics to friends and family, and share them online with us, not to mention the fun you can have with Photoshop like the photo at the bottom of my post.

All of the Walgreens stores in the WDW area have 24-hour photo counters and can transfer pics to CD from a variety of memory cards. Cost is $3.99 per CD, for as many pics as the CD will hold (which varies according to the size of file each camera produces).

Onsite, the only places to get pics transfered to CD are the camera shop at MK and Kodak ImageWorks in Epcot. ImageWorks charges by the number of images, not by the CD; $11.99 for the first 40 images and $5.99 for every 40 images after. Prints are also available at $0.69 per print (can anyone say "highway robbery"? How about "captive audience"? "Shakedown"?)

I recommand Walgreens. Get your pics downloaded to CD, then get them printed by DotPhoto.com, Snapfish.com, Ophoto.com, or any one of the half-dozen other online photo printing web sites, for excellent prices and near-lab quality that blows away what your home printer can do.

All the resorts can burn your files from your digital media onto a CD... We did this when we were @ the CR at Thanksgiving.

 

[WillCAD]

Disfreek, where do you go in the resort to get this done? How much did it cost? And are you sure it can be done at any of the resorts? I have not seen this function advertized anywhere, but I would really like to have the info.

They would send it to a central location. I would have an extra memory card or two till you got the one back. Also I would rather go the location so there is no chance of the memory card getting lost.

Since we're on the subject of digital photos, I'd love to hear recommendations on digital cameras. I'm researching them, particularily those of 5.1 mega pixels or higher, so any advice would be appreciated.....

 

[crazee4mickey]

I bought a Canon Powershot A95 just before our holiday, it's a 5.0 Mega pixel--it takes amazing pictures, I was so very impressed-wish I would have bought it sooner so I could have been "up" on all the features.
I was questioning whether to get a digital camera as you can always seem to tell digital prints from 'normal" prints. With this camera, the pictures are just as nice as my expensive Minolta camera. I got some beautiful pictures of fireworks--I used this camera our entire holiday and only pulled out my Minolta once!

OK, w/ safteymom's help and everywhere else I have checked you can't print
digital pics in the parks or resorts. There will be a machine at some park locations (they are putting them in now, not sure who has what and where yet) and they will burn a cd off your memory stick/card. However I have been warned the following:

-someone took the cd's burned at the park home and one had nothing on it. The burning did not take (has happened tome on my home computer) and they lost those pics. Also cd are fragile and can crack easy w/ any shuffeling of stuff you do through the day. Don't erase your memory card.

-dont use just one memory card/stick with lots of memory. If something happens to that one you are stuck losing all your pics. Buy a couple and that way not all of your pics are in one place.

-some suggest bringing a laptop and either transfer them to that or upload to an online photo service (shutterfly, ofoto etc) Personally I dont want anything extra to pack and have to worry about.

I plan on buying more memory to bring so I won't run out(yeah right I take tons more pics w/ my digital!). Midway through the vacation going off property to a walmart or something and printing what I have done and burning to cd to cover all my bases. Like many of you those photos you take are priceless, CYA!!! Good luck!

Glencoe -

Another suggestion is to purchase the new HP395 portable photo printer. After searching on all of them and then taking my own memory card to the store to see the real quality all these do I requested and received this for Christmas. It cost $170 at Costco, $200 most other places.

This little bugger prints AWESOME photos, weighs only 3 lbs and if you get the travel case is no more difficult to transport than a purse. You load your picts to it one of three ways, via your storage stick (has slots for all sizes), you can hook to a computer/laptop or you can use a USB Flashstick (store photos on computer, then DL the ones you want to print to stick). Ink costs no more than inkjet cartridge and paper is always on sale somewhere. Prints in about 30 seconds and dry completely in about 2 minutes. We were able to print over 100 pictures on first cartridge (we took to moms for Christmas day, we had a blast, printing photos right away and the ability to print duplicates for all members was fun).

Just a thought

Another printer to look at is the portable Epson Picture Mate. I took mine with me when we went to DL.

It will print with no computer involved or you can hook it up to your computer. It reads all the media cards.

Prints from the printer will last 200 years in an album. They are waterproof and smudge proof.

The printer normally is $199 but there are deals that make it very reasonable.

The cost per print is 29 cents. If you get to the end of the ink and you still have paper left Epson will buy it back from you.

Those little printers are so cute. However I already have a HP photosmart all in one which I love and truly have no need for another photo printer. Also w/ the way I have my trip planned, I don't want to sit and print pictures when I would rather be sitting at the pool w/ a drink in my hand . Question.....can you crop, red eye, black and white etc. before you print w/ that little printer? What about saving those pics any other way- or once you print they are gone? Just wondering!

 

[safetymom]

You can crop, do black and white prints. The images stay on your memory card until you delete them. I printed at night while we were watching TV or in the morning before we hit the parks.

Some target stores also have Photo labs where you can print out photos or have them burned to cd's. The Target where i work (way up north in montana) at the One Hour Photo lab, cd's are $3.99 and digital prints are $0.25 but those can vary store to store. when I go down to Disney in February, I intend on finding the nearest target (cause i work at one) and getting my pictures from my canon s1 put on cd.

Good luck!

I would say the safest thing to do is take a laptop. That way there is no issue with losing/scratching/breaking CDs or getting bad ones.
The second best option is to buy more memory cards. They are so cheap nowadays (512 MB for under $50) that money you save by not getting CDs made at WDW will pay for the card after 3 CDs. You can always make CDs when you get home. I always travel with multiple cards since they can go bad (it happened to me - I was able to recover the pics later but the card was useless.)
