Surprised they hadn't done this before.

Man that only took 5 years. Its way too easy to steal high res pics from the site.

Next stop: figuring out how to prevent unrelated parties from pooling together to steal MemoryMaker.

↩ replying to NowIncI just noticed this today while going through my photos from my past trip. A friend that lives in Florida had a ride photo that showed up in Photopass with a water mark.
I wouldn't say you were able to steal high res photos from the site but passable on Facebook probably. This just means spending more hours in Photoshop removing the watermark.

↩ replying to JahonaHigh res/printable was very possible via the slideshow method. I am just shocked they didn't realize it sooner...as I know MANY who have been doing this for as long as I can remember.

↩ replying to NowIncTrue enough. Probably if your monitor has a high enough resolution to scratch out a 4x6 with a screenshot. This is the first year I've used memory maker and am a bit shocked at the resolution they let you download.

↩ replying to JahonaNo screenshot needed. You loaded up the slideshow and then just took the images from your cache. Was always the full resolution files.

↩ replying to NowIncOh wow. I never realized the web preview was full resolution. I would think they would have made low res web files instead of pulling high res photos. Explains why the photopass site is slow.

Disney could consider adding a price to each park ticket, $15 to $20 each and then include PhotoPass access when you buy a ticket, or a 3 day or more park hopper.
People would still purchase the frames and graphics for their photos so Disney would still make even more money.

I almost wonder why they haven't found a way to prevent photos being taken of the screens at ride photo ordering locations. Polarization or something, but it seems like the bean counters would be upset over lost revenue when all the folks walk up to the screens, cell phones in hand, and snap pictures of their images.

↩ replying to ABQIt's not exactly easy to get a really good photo off those screens at times. Between the hustle and bustle of people moving in to look at the screens and to capture them with their magic band, and the short time till the next photo posts, it's not easy to take a crisp image with a phone. DSLR might do better.

↩ replying to ABQSome of them have watermarks on those screens as well.

Marathon photo sites have been doing this forever. The only surprise here is that Disney is so late to the game.

Yeah, we've grabbed screen shots for Facebook tons of times over the last 5 years. But on special occasions, like our engagement, we bought some prints.
